You know when you are enjoying a nice day, relaxing in the checkout line

[Thtwudbeme]

kind of enjoying having an older wiser person in front of you, fumbling for change....because they remind you both of your grandparents and the need to slow down sometimes...

And then some rude assed pansy shithead motherfucker who thinks that whatever they are doing, saying or thinking is WAYYY more important than whatever anyone is doing, saying or thinking makes some snappy comment about taking too long, and rudely throws the cashier a dollar to hurry things up?

Just chaps your ass, doesn't it?

[OhioBlue]

1. yes - I would have

been appalled at the way the person behind me was acting. They are probably the same ones that talk on their cell phone while being waited on and still hold up the line.

[Thtwudbeme]

2. BWHAHAHAHAH

I self edited my post to take the cell phone out of the story!

;)

[AirmensMom]

3. I'm with you, Thtwudbeme!

Yep, we'll have some chapped asses in the lounge tonight. There are certainly some rude people hanging around.
:hi:

[peekaloo]

4. Those are the times I actually enjoy passing gas in public.

and blaming the premature e-check-ulator.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

5. I read the original post on this one...

And Good God, what is wrong with people? Some people just need to be ended.

6. You sound offended by something

[Thtwudbeme]

7. I wasn't until now

thanks a bunch.

Could you change your screen name for me?

[DS1]

9. I don't know what you mean

[Thtwudbeme]

14. Sorry. It was a lame joke

I guess the only funny thing I thought of today was the liquor bunny. But, that was during cocktail hour.

8. "The next day he threw the cashier a nickel, it bounced of

the register and flew down his throat, permanently muting him and leaving him otherwise unharmed"

[Thtwudbeme]

10. Oh quit giving me fantasies

my husband said your post was randomly clever.

[AirmensMom]

12. Except that it sliced through his fingertips on the way

(it was a sharp nickel) ... making it impossible for him to every type again. Alas, he can no longer even attempt to communicate.

[Thtwudbeme]

13. ohhhhhhh the story gets better!

;)

[AirmensMom]

15. Well, he wasn't entirely "otherwise unharmed".

As he suddenly grabbed at his throat with his wounded fingers, he lost his balance and fell into the cart behind him. The cart was filled with eggs (this all happened BEFORE Easter). And I do mean filled. At least 24 dozen. Poor fellow ... he got more egg on his face than anyone ever has had. That doesn't sound too bad, does it? Ah, but he was allergic to eggs! He instantly broke out in a nasty rash and had to spend the entire afternoon in the hospital -- without his cell phone or dollar bills. Guess who his nurse was?

:evilgrin:

[Thtwudbeme]

16. but, before he got to the ER, he had to spend time in the ambulance

(this was a few years ago)

Guess who his paramedic was?

;)

[AirmensMom]

17. Well, for an "old fart" who is "slow as molasses" ...

he sure gets around! I hope he has a huge, dull needle for our "friend." :rofl:

[Thtwudbeme]

18. heh

I was a paramedic in my past life! :)

Now am trying to become an ER pastor.

Don't tell anyone I cuss like that; I am a Christian! ;)

[AirmensMom]

19. I won't tell if you won't.

I am a Christian, too ... and a PK at that. There's more, but you wouldn't believe it. :D

How do you become an ER pastor?

[Thtwudbeme]

20. Well, first you have to quit your job, learn to bartend, and start school

then, after taking years of classes with nutty eastern philosophy teachers, and Latin Nazis...you beg to get into Divinity School.

It's been a long haul for me; I dropped out of college a long time ago to go to paramedic school. So I had to start from scratch. I knew the whole thing would take 7 or 8 years---then I got married, and that kind of added on another year with moving and getting settled down.

It's a stretch... just class after class, and paper after paper.

[AirmensMom]

21. So, it's similar to becoming a parish minister?

I'm familiar with that ... harleydad was a minister for 11 years, way back in our distant past. (He may go back to it.) I think I should have an honorary M.Div. for all those papers I typed up.

Like he always says, the time will go by anyway. You might as well have something you want at the end of it.

But won't your paramedic training help? At least you'll know what they're talking about.

[Random_Australian]

22. Wow! My nickel comment started a huge discussion!

I love DU! :loveya:
:toast:

[AirmensMom]

24. The real question is ...

do you like how the story ended? :bounce: Your nickel comment was very inspirational. :rofl:

:toast:

[Left Is Write]

11. I can't stand being hurried out of the way when I'm paying for something.

It's like, can I please put my change in my wallet? Grab my receipt before you start banging into the back of my knees with your cart?

[CC]

25. I always tell the person trying to rush me

that they are more than welcome to pay for my purchase to get me out faster. They usually laugh sheepishly and STFU.

[jpgray]

23. I have room in my heart for both old people and impatient people

:patriot:

[merh]

26. We all know you are a saint.

I hope you pray for the rest of us flawed sinners. :(

[merh]

27. It annoys the hell out of me

and when that happens, I slow down everthing I do to make sure it takes me longer to check out.

I just don't like to make them happy. :evilgrin:

[Rowdyboy]

29. You've got more than a little bit of my mama in you....

I guess thats why I've always liked you so much.

[merh]

30. LOL

What a lovely compliment, Rowdyboy. :hug:

thank you
