Ever heard of buggy rage?

[unholypet]

Buggy as in carts, specifically grocery stores.

I, as did my parents, this night, recall the tales of my youth. When I was but a brat, and my parents less quiet about their tempers and problems with other shoppers in the nearby vicinity.

My mother has bipolar, which, at the time, was uncontrolled. Think a lady with angry pms, and in control of a cart she wields like a truck.

1. Someone may have tried to go around us halfway through one of those skinny aisles while we're moving,
Mom: I'LL RAM THIS CART RIGHT UP YOUR @$$!! Back off! *speeds ahead like a goose

2. When you try to cut in line at the cashier,
Mom: Hey.. HEY! Yeah you, d!@kface, get in line! *pushes cart in bronco motion

3. Never push my -4ft self or little sister,
Mom: That's my f@$king kid!! Touch her again!! *angry fist shake

4. Never get my Dad involved, especially when you try to push Mom's cart,
Mom: RR!! *almost gona ram them, then-
Dad: Holy f@$k, you almost smacked with me with the 20lb. shadow of your @$$ *puff chest
Mom: LET GO OF THE CART! I'm gonna wreck them! *bronco motion


Luckily, we're all controlled and calmed in our +10yrs. lol

Makes funny stories.

For some reason, when I read the title, I had this image of a couple of Amish folk in a horse-drawn buggy playing chicken with each other, or flashing their lanterns LOL

Reminds me of Weird Al: "Don't be vain, and don't be whiney, or else I might have to get medieval on your hiney!"

Now I have this urge to go on a roadtrip to Amish country (kind of by my bf's hometown in Bum Egypt) and see if they really do get buggy rage.

I own a Grand Theft Amish T-shirt (below, it reads Penn State Dutch). It has two Amish buggies barreling along at high speed as the drivers flick whips at each other.

It's now a discontinued line - I treasure it.

I think there are a few of them here in Cheeseland. For some reason I think around Black River Falls.

I do see people in the store from time to time who could be Amish. The other day I saw a guy with 4 boys, all in dress shirts and suspenders and straw hats. Father was dressed about the same. Another time I saw a lady in a bonnet and kind of an old-fashioned dress. But then again they could just have old-fashioned fashion tastes I guess.

Heh heh, now I am reminded of a joke!

What goes clop, clop, clop, bang, clop, clop, clop?




An Amish drive-by shooting! Wocka wocka wocka!

That's pretty funny. I only have one story about shopping carts from my youth. I was about 2 and my mom put the cart back after shopping with me in it and forgot to take me out. She got to the car before she realized she didn't have me. She ran back and I was sitting there waiting for her.

Dare not venture into the lane we traverse unannounced again, ere we cause grievous harm to bestow itself upon you, English!

I saw an Amish family getting on the subway one morning when I was working in Philly.

An Amish-raised friend told me, if I'm remembering what he said correctly, that part of their traditions include taking their older children out to give them some exposure to the way the outside world works. Basically, they let their kids make an informed decision on whether they want to stay on the farm or to venture forth and take part in modern society.

Yup, that's the way it works. Still gives me pause when I see them playing the games in the arcade though. ^_^
