On why violence would be so much more satisfying sometimes.

[dirtyglamour]

I was shopping at Trader Joe's near Union Square the other day.  As per usual, the line stretched around the store. I was standing in line when I felt a cart bump into my ankles...not very hard...but still enough to make me turn to see who was doing it.  It was an middle aged black woman who seemed to not be paying attention...so I just let it go.

I consistently get these big fat lazy mothers who insist on pushing their baby strollers straight into me. Literally, they saw me, they change the stroller directions and head straight to me.

You could borrow my line: "if this thing touches me, I consider it a weapon. And you know what I do to weapons? I disarm them. I would LOVE for you to use your baby (or stroller in this case) as a weapon and I REALLY want to disarm it for you. Go ahead, try it."

Yeah, I wanted to ram her own cart back into her, but I kept imagining everyone else just seeing some twenty-something male being a dick to an older woman.

Good line though. I am tired of these people with giant strollers on the subway too....is it that hard to find a little fold up stroller? Or is it that hard to just say.."Excuse me" before pushing your SUV stroller into people in the subway car?

LOL I don't care what people say. It's a war between me and my opponent. :)

You don't want to know how many people I knock over, how many babies I made cry, etc. in the name of justice :)

Now with babies, actually it's easier... the mothers, of course, would scream and cry. And I just talk over her and say "what kind of mother uses a baby as a weapon? You are supposed to protect your own child. Not me. You are the worst mother ever."

you don't want to know how "well" that always go over...

I would love to see this in action.

I was tempted to just simply get in line behind her and push my cart into her legs..and give her line right back to her.

Or, I usually go "I would be very careful once you leave Trader Joes though. Cause in the streets of NY, I will WHOOP YOUR SORRY ASS."

'Well, this is how it is in New York.'

You're my hero.

A simple, "Ma'am, you're behaving like a cunt," would suffice. Said with a big ol' grin, of course.

I have trouble faking a smile when I'm angry! I wish I were better at that. I go from zero to fuming in no time.

Bump into her cart, and drive it back into her, with a big, "Oh, I'm sooooo sorry."

You can mutter "bitch" under your breath if you want.

I've never had this happen to me at any supermarket, including TJ's.

NYC is a special place sometimes ;)

You should post a picture of her in your Facebook.

LOL.

My latest thing to do to people who insist on jabbing me or elbowing me or otherwise bumping into me is to say LOUDLY so all around can hear: "OOOOH! You hit my Colostomy Bag!"

[dirtyglamour]

I think I like you! lol.
