goes to the lady next to me in line at the supermarket.

You know how bad the grocery store gets the weekend before a holiday. Lots of shoppers, few cashiers, lines getting longer, tempers getting shorter...

So I am patiently standing in my line, waiting..waiting..waiting to pay, and the lady in the line next to me starts ranting and raving about the whole situation. After about 15 minutes, the person in front of me, totally gets ticked off and pulls out of line.

Sooooooo... the nut in the line next to me starts to cut in front of me!!!!!!!!

I said to her "I DON"T THINK SO!!!! What makes you think I am letting you in front of me?" Needless to say, she was not a happy camper. So much so that when she came out of the store and passed me putting my bags in the car, she actually started calling me names!

Holidays!!!

Yeah...isn't it a shame how people act....I don't care what is going on in someones life etc there is no need to be rude!

If you want to really tick those kind off, tell them "Jesus loves you anyway!" There's really no intelligent "come back" to that one! The atheists will be ticked just because you used the word Jesus and the Christians know you're absolutely right.

I have one for you. It was raining and with 3 babies we need 2 shopping carts. All the shopping carts are gone, but 1 so I'm wiping it off, my husband goes outside to get another shopping cart. So this lady stands there and is watching me wipe it off and my husband comes back with the other cart. So I turn around to start wiping that cart off, the lady goes to grab the cart I just wiped, I let her know thats are cart, start to help my husband again, she goes to grab the cart again, I tell her, thats our cart. She says,"Why don't you make up your mind". My husband says,"Why don't you listen". She gets an aggressive attitude and says,"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" I don't know if she thought she was going to intimidate us or what," my husband says,"I said, why don't you listen, and I say,"Can you be any ruder?" And she just turns around and takes off. I don't get people sometimes.

I went shopping at midnight last night to avoid the holiday dummies. I'm sure people thought I was a bad mom because I had my kids out so late but nobody said a thing

This is exactly why I want to hibernate until the holidays are over with. I hate the holidays. All the freaks come out and this is on top of all the freaks we have to deal with on a normal day.

I have similar stories, but if I start writing about them I'll just get ticked off all over again.

What an idiot. The holidays just bring out the worst in people.

So glad I don't celebrate holidays.

We usually go and hibernate at our beach house for almost three straight weeks, but not this year. Sigh.

I'll make sure to send you a Christmas card Mensch.

LOL!

I made X-mas cards one year (many years ago).

On the front were Mary and Joseph looking into the manger (but you couldn't see what was in it. When you opened the card you could see that the manger contained a baby dressed in an Elvis outfit with stylized Elvis hair, and the caption read: The King is born!

And people wonder why I hate Christmas so much. At the time of year when people who claim to be Christians observe one of their most important holidays, I see vastly more un-Christian like behavior than any other time of year. I never cease to be amazed at how hypocritical that is, and how they don't see it when they're doing it. I don't know. Maybe they act that way all year round and we just notice it more at Christmas.

Mensch, VERY funny card (except that I can't stand Elvis). Sorry Elvis lovers. Don't hate me. : )

I just wanted to add that hubby and I had dinner with my sister and her husband tonight. Sis is VERY involved in her church .... she's on the church board and is the church treasurer, and her husband is also on the board. I told them the story here and my suggestion to tell them "Jesus loves you anyway!" and they just rolled with laughter. BIL said he was going to remember that one and use it alot.

So during dinner, when one of us would say something silly, we tell that person "Jesus loves you anyway!"

I think we just started a funny family joke.

I love family jokes like that. When my daughter was young, she always wanted to order big, expensive icecreamy drinks when we ate at restaurants. I seldom let her order them, and finally once when we'd gone back and forth about why not, when the waitress came for the drink orders my daughter said in the most pitiful, martyred voice, "I'll just have water..."

Now whenever one of us wants to have something we know we can't have, food or otherwise, we adopt that pathetic little voice and say, "It's okay. I'll just have water." Of course, it doesn't make a bit of sense to anyone else but we all laugh uproarously.

and again ! I always tell my kids you don't mess with people, cause you don't know what they are capable of.

I can happily say, this lady did not get my goat. I just ignored her remarks in the parking lot. It's one of those stories you just have to share!

Its so sad how we stress out during this time of year. Everyone is in such a hurry to get nowhere

Well, I for one intend to enjoy MY Thanksgiving!

I wish all my CC buddies and Happy, Heathly, Joyous Holiday Season!!

We were talking at work the other day about black fridays, and one girls bragged about how she wanted this Tonka truck that was on sale. She got there to late to get one so she followed another woman around the store until she left her cart. She proceeded to take the truck out of the woman's cart while she was away. I told her that that was why I won't go near a store on Black Friday, because if she would have done that to me, I'd probably have to kick her a$$, just for general purposes and then she could have the truck. LOL.
