After the 3rd "nudge" husband turned around and most antimatedly said, "I am so sorry to be ahead of you in line...here let me help you with your groceries...(he proceded to take EVERYTHING from old coot's cart and put it on the belt). When old coot started to object, Husband said "oh noooo, nooo...I am only happy to help" so on and etc. Everyone KNEW what was happening. Even the check-out and bag people chimed in. When the manager came over (...oh no, we thought...) and said, "oh let me help....I will, PERSONALLY, take these to the car for you"....It was great!! As he left, people actually applauded!! <br /><br />I know people get tired and we never know what the circumstances are, BUT as my grandmother told me "being old does not give anyone the right to be mean or hateful!! If you feel that bad - stay home." <br /><br />As always your blog make me smile!!! Thanks Hula!!TACMAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447939715909352415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495665171407148682.post-42275716528660108242011-03-15T08:02:04.269-05:002011-03-15T08:02:04.269-05:00What is it with the blogs I visit today all having...What is it with the blogs I visit today all having this "Boycott American Women" comment. Both you and Jason have it in the comments and both times, I've been the commenter after it!<br /><br />Besides that....<br /><br />I had a similar experience the other day and as they swept by I said rather loudly, "Oh, I'm sorry, did you want to get through? I had no idea!" I got the stink eye. What ever happened to some good old fashioned "excuse me...may I get past you? Thank you"<br /><br />OK. I'm off my soap box.Kelley with Amy's Angelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815426069055211963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495665171407148682.post-14607427199694253672011-03-14T22:11:00.514-05:002011-03-14T22:11:00.514-05:00Yikes!
