When Strangers attack ....

So, today I am in the store with my 7yo (he stayed home "sick") picking up a few things when I get a call from my best friend. She knew I had an appt the other day and wanted an update. I was telling her what a joke it was etc etc ... Then we were making jokes about this and that, then got serious for a moment or two about the Lap Band.

She told me she understood why, and supported me 500% but she was scared for me etc. I was calming her down when this obnoxious twig of a twit buts in and tells me "You don't need gastric surgery, you are to small, and it is such a waste of military resources" ... I just looked at her and went back to my conversation with my best friend when this moron grabs my arm stands in front of me and tries to lecture me on diets.

At first I just smiled at her, and went to move around her, hoping my temper wont blow up infront of my son while this rabid twit is trying to lecture me. I told my friend to hang on a second and then let her have it after she tried to PHYSICALLY restrain me from walking around her.

Oh man I totally unloaded on her, I told her "you don't know me, you don't know what my medical history is, all you heard was a one sided conversation that was NONE of your business. I understand I am in a public place and everyone can hear me if they are close enough, I don't give a damn, but no one else is retarded enough to say anything to someone. You should take the cue, and not be a nosy nelly and mind your own damned business."

Now by this time my son is "mommy lets go lets go, I don't like her" So once again I go to move around her and she GRABS MY ARM AGAIN by this time I had had enough, I smacked her hand away from me, and told her that if she touch's me again not only would she go up on assault charges but I would make damned sure she never touched anyone else again. She went to grab my arm again and I said "don't" nothing else, just don't. She let her hand hover a moment then her one smart brain cell kicked over and she started crying and telling me she would pray for my mortal soul.

Now being the smart ass I am all I could say was "Lady, you should try to pray for your own before you start giving away your prayers, you need the help more then I".

As I am walking away I tell my best friend I have a boy to calm down and I will call her back, she is in shock that someone would actually do what that woman did. But we hang up and I start calming my son down and he is near to tears cause he was scared for me cause the "crazy lady" (his words not mine, I swear) wouldn't leave me alone. GRRRRRRR :regular_smile: what makes people think they can just do that stuff to other people? I mean REALLY, what person thinks that is ok??????????:confused2:

I hate cell phones, too, and refuse to have one even though my husband would like me to have one.

holy sh!t- as it were!

ew ew ew his colostomy bag- some people are so disgusting- hopefully he will think twice about doing that again probably he is just as angry and entitled as ever!

Talking about Wal Mart, I think your theory holds Water. My wife was driving down the main aisle of our local Wal Mart and this older man shoots out of a side aisle and almost hits her. She continues on out to make a left onto the main road and he chases her, drives around her right and makes a left to cut her off. He proceeds to yell at her for not giving him the right of way and that he is a retired police officer and knows the laws, blah, blah, blah. She was so in shock that she didn't know how to react!

This SAME thing happened to me in a Wal-Mart parking lot!! It was some older man driving thru the parking lot as opposed to up and down the aisles, he almost t-boned me and then he was yelling and shaking his finger at me. I turned my car around and went and found him as he was walking into the store. I told him that those big yellow arrows that point UP and DOWN are the way you are supposed to drive thru the parking lot not across it like he was. He told me that I wasnt even watching where I was going. I told him that I was driving correctly, he was not therefore I did not have to watch where I was going. He said something about calling the cops and I told him fine by me, lets call them and see who was driving incorrectly in the parking lot, I am willing to risk getting a ticket, are you? He just glared at me, called me a bitch and started into the store. I called him an old ignorant MF that needed his license revoked and I drove off. As I am driving off my mother (who was with me) who had been silent thru the whole ordeal leans over and yells DUMBASS as I am driving off. I was livid. I am 31 years old, have been licensed since I was 16 and have NEVER had a ticket for ANYTHING. I can not stand for someone who is clearly breaking traffic laws to tell me that I can not drive. I dislike going to Wal-Mart but DH and I have 4 kids so we are constantly there. I had a pharmacist get smart with me b/c I asked him why he had to call the other pharmacy when I was transferring a prescription(I honestly did not know why he had to call them) and he scoffed, rolled his eyes and said "b/c you cant have 1 prescription at two different stores AND I have to verify that you still have refills". I said you know what Patrick? Give me my damn pill bottle back, he did and I said you can take that phone and shove it directly up your ass you dickhead!

OMG! You guys are scaring me! His colostomy bag??!!! You couldn't even make something up that wild!

I can relate to the self-restraint, PIX, I have little kids too and have had to control myself. Good job!

lol u girls crack me up..lol ppl have no right to enter a convo if there not invited into it..lol sheshh the nerve of some ppl

The absolute nerve of some people. Who the hell was talking to her anyway ? ? ?

Hey Pix, maybe you'll be lucky enough to run into her again at the store and really let

her have it. Get our your mace!

Oh, and colostomy boy....I would do some seriouse stalking of the Wal Mart handicap parking spaces to search him out.
