So minding my own business, I sat in the jeep reading texts for a few minutes (actually I was listening to a CBC radio interview, but answering texts sounds cooler). After a couple minutes, I got out and locked up and was about to cross the road to the store when a little squat sixty something woman huffed and puffed right up in front of me. And I mean RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. She was in MY personal space.
So I stopped short and looked down, waaaay down, at her. And she lit into me...."I think its really selfish of able bodied people like you to park in the easy spots. I actually have a handicap sticker and you can see that the two handicap spots are full...so out of courtesy to us folks that need to be close you could choose to park further away. In fact these two spots should be handicap. I can't believe you able bodied folks that can easily walk a distance blah blah blah bah...."
Well, I couldn't believe my ears!!! Other people started to stop and stare, she was being so obnoxious and loud. And she was dumping on my happy mood cuz I got a good spot. The little fat cow.
So I asked her, quietly, "Why can't you walk from two extra spaces down? Whats wrong with you?" And she proceeded to go on about how she has a bad hip and she can't walk very well and she needs to be close to the doors and so on. I then suggested to her, this time quite loudly, that if she lost about two hundred pounds it would probably help her hip out and the extra twenty feet of walking was probably good for that hip too. Holy shit! It was like I had stuck a hot poker up her skirt! She exploded, "Why I never! You can't talk to me like that!" So I leaned over and very quietly said in her ear..."Shut the F up Bitch" (sorry people, I know that was crass but she pissed me off) She spun around, damn near fell and waddled...you know, like fat people do, over to the store. Crazy cow.
And then of course, who do I continuously run into in the store? Yup, at every damned corner. There she was. At one of them there was a barrel of fancy painted canes. She came waddling along so grabbed on of the canes and swung it at her and waggled my eyebrows and asked if she could use of them. Hahaha! She accused me of being rude. And I just laughed and told her she should not have yelled at me to begin with. Anywhoo....
I bought a couple of useless things and swung around the store and left. I went to Safeway and had a much more pleasant time! I bought one of those humumgous nine dollar sandwiches. Thats what I will eat over the next three days. Monte will be back home here in a couple of days so I will probably put more food up then. I must spend some time over the next couple of days organizing garbage...like empty the house garbage. He doesn't have his license anymore but Graeme bused to Port and is driving the van back here for us. Monte will catch a bus back to Port in a few days. So while he is here we will make trips to the dump. I am determined to empty out this house, one way or the other.
Gotta bounce. TTYL

Hahahahahaha! I must have laughed out loud 3 times at least. Shut the blog down? Are you kidding? No one else has your gift of. Who else can make something as mundane as a miserable toad at the store wildly entertaining? Erma Bombeck to the 10th power.
