I went to the fair, and it was simply splendid. I went on the Ring of Fire, and although, I was very scared and reluctant to go on, I did in the end. I was so scared during the entire ride, as the younger boys that sat in front of us kept on saying how the wheels fell off once and the cart fell down. Either way, I have never used so much profanity before within a small time frame. However, it was a wonderful time spent at the fair except during the ride on the Ferris Wheel. I had to go to the bathroom very badly, as we were waiting in line. It was an extremely long line up for the Ferris Wheel. Therefore, one of my friends that was not going on the ride saved my spot in line, as she waited with my other friends. When I came back in line to replace my friend, the lady behind us explodes. She tells me that I should not be able to go into line. I was very confused in the situation. One of my friends tried talking to her, and she simply replied: "Shut Up, Shut Up, Shut Up..." continually for about a minute. And she stopped once he stopped talking, but once he tried to start again, she would repeat. "Shut Up" again. Truthfully speaking, I felt sorry for her. She looked like she was in her high forties, and apparently one of my friends knew her, for she was a Mother to one of their friends. Either way, her method of solving problems is disappointing. Here I am, a seventeen year old able to understand that tantrums and repeating words for a minute is childish. Yet, she is acting like a kid wanting their way in a Grocery Store.
Nonetheless, I stayed in the line and was able to go on the ride with my friends in front of her.
In no means does she know of a good means to solve her problems, and I am sure she has anger management issues. Scary world.
