Gorcery Store Fight

So Baby Girl and I went grocery shopping Monday night, as we have been doing for the past two weeks.  We usually try to go Sunday nights as a family but we just haven't had the time lately.  She is always very good for me because it's usually later in the evening and she is winding down so I don't mind the alone time with her.

I found a line that only had one person in it and he was almost done so I felt pretty lucky considering our grocery store lines can get pretty long.  I started putting my things on the belt and a lady got in line behind me.  Now I'm at the back of the cart try to maneuver my big belly around so I can reach the things in my cart.  Baby Girl was sitting in the front part of the cart, as usual.

I had about half of my items on the belt when the lady behind me grabs a divider and starts putting her things on the belt.  So, not only did she not give me enough room to put all my things on the belt, she also pushed her way up into the aisle so I couldn't move back and get my things out of the cart.

So I just stood there and stared at her.  The entire time she put her shit on that belt, I just stared.  The guy behind her saw it and I'm pretty sure he was scared enough for both of them.  I mean what the hell? 

Finally I just started pushing my stuff front to make as much room as I could and I literally started throwing my stuff onto the belt.  I really couldn't get it up there any other way because she was half way up the aisle.  I kept one of the heavy items and very loudly told the cashier that it didn't fit on the belt.

Meanwhile, my awesome little daughter decided to be friendly and said hi to the bitch behind us.  She responded, of course, and then started talking to her!!!  All while watching me struggle with my fucking groceries!  She even tried to make small talk with me as I was throwing a bag of egg noodles onto the belt. 

Oh I ignored that bitch.

I know that this isn't like an it's the end of the world kind of story but I was so pissed.  I went home and told my husband about it and he laughed hysterically and then told me how proud he was that I kept my composure and didn't hit the bitch.

I mean how rude can you really be?  It wasn't an old lady or anything either.  That I would have been able to understand.  There was no reason she couldn't at least wait until I was done.  Forget the fact that I'm pregnant, it's just rude all around! 

How would you have handled the crazy belt lady?

PS:  I know that this post has a lot of bad words, a lot worse than I normally use, and I do apologize but this is the PG version of how I explained it to my husband.  I was so mad!

  1. Oh my goodness. We are a lot alike, but I would have said something. there is not enough composure in this world for me not to say something. I can completely understand why you were so mad. What nerve!

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
