Yeah whatever. Jerk.
So I was at the Wal-mart today and I was checking out. I had a huge load of groceries, and the lady was about half finished checking me out.
Now I hate this. I really, really, hate it.
This man and his wife come up and put their stuff on the belt behind mine, (of course that's fine). And you know at Wal-mart, that you have to put your groceries in the cart after the cashier bags them. So I'm loading my cart, and trying to stay on it so she can get finished and I can check out. This man, (He's probably in his late 50s or early 60s,) comes up and hovers over the checkout area. You know, the little place where you can set your wallet or purse, and scan your card, right at the end of the line. Now she isn't done with my stuff yet, but this guy has his debit card out and is standing there like it's his turn. (I hate that.) So I say very politely to him, "I'm sorry, but she's still checking me out."
To which he replies, "Oh I know, but my stuff is right behind yours and it's coming right up." The way he said it made me so angry. It was snotty and rude. So I told him that I knew that, but he was in my way, and if he wouldn't mind stepping back, please. I wasn't polite this time. I was as rude as he was, and I was so angry I was shaking. So the guy has the audacity to stare at me with this hateful look on his face. Well, I have a pretty mean glare, so I looked right back at him. He finally backed up, looked away and just said, "Wow." Of course he didn't back up more than a few feet. And just stood there facing me. He was probably trying to intimidate me, thinking he's all big and tough staring down a young woman, but I'm sorry, I don't intimidate easily. I just get beyond angry, to the point I see red. I'm not going to take that crap from someone. I managed to keep my mouth shut when I left, but I wanted to tell him off.
I'd imagine that in his head he was thinking about what an awful person I am, and who knows what other hateful things, but really, he was in the wrong. You don't hover over someone, and their groceries, and act like you're just skipping over them, standing there ready to pay for your stuff. I couldn't have even got to the dang checkout place because he was standing right over it. Stupid jerk.
If someone says to you the obvious. Like, "Oh, she's still checking me out." Wouldn't you get the hint??? Wouldn't you back up and maybe apologize, even though the apology wouldn't be absolutely necessary. I mean, what I was saying, basically was, "Please move. You are standing where I need to check out, and it is making me very uncomfortable. Not to mention it's very rude." Especially since his stuff was 3 feet down the belt. Good grief!
Is it just me? Or would that have made some of you all angry too? I'm generally pretty laid back and easy going. I do have a bit of a temper, and it will flair up occasionally, but I don't think I was in the wrong. I mean, it was my turn at the register, not his. I was checking out, not him. That type of behavior just burns me up. But why wouldn't he back up when I said something the first time? Was it really necessary for him to talk back to me? I was so polite. I really was. Till he became a jerk face...
