I think Lupo and I must be some sort of magnet for these people. For this scenario, we visit the local Aldis where they have a hair dryer that I saw for DDD for sale. It was one of the reasons I went in, aside from the grocery shopping for the little things we need. While there, there was a British couple there with their daughter shopping. The man was decidedly the pants wearer in the family ordering his wife around and to "stop dillying!" every time she stopped to look at an item. She just rolled her eyes and ignored him when he yelled (yes yelled) at her to get a move on.
Every time we passed each other, I managed a smile and the wife did too. She seemed like a genuinely nice person. I think the husband was just being a jerk.
As I made my way to the frozen section to get fries and frozen fish I noticed that they moved things around, again. It happens a lot. So I'm standing to the side, trying to find the breaded fish and french fries when I'm suddenly yelled at by the man, "Get out of my way, you stupid cow!" It was almost as if the world stopped and everyone was looking at us.
Now, myself and DDD, being students off BBC America, I've learned a thing or two. Instead of storming off, instead of swearing at him, I simply turned around and faced him, hands on my hips and said one sentence.
"Sod off, you stupid prick!" I found my fish and fries and headed for the checkout. All the man could do was stand there, making a fish face, then turned to his wife and said "Did you hear what she said! She can't do that! How can she say that to me?!" To which I hear his wife say "Well, she's right, you are a stupid prick." Everyone who was nearby started laughing and went back to what they were doing.
As I was waiting in line, his wife came up to me to thank me, saying that he needed to be brought down a few pegs. He'd apparently found himself being all high and mighty since they'd moved to the US a few months ago for his job.
