Thank You...it was a little chilly this morning

"There's no one waiting behind me, so I can take my time."

Aaaand that would be the point I would just happen to get a tickle in my throat and would have to cough.

Ain't that the darnest thing?

[morgana]

I think I might have started jumping up and down, clapping, and yelling, "Yay, my invisibility experiments finally worked!" And then let out the evil-villain laugh.

[Becks]

I would have coughed or cleared my throat or something like that.

I might do something like that...

I think I might have started jumping up and down, clapping, and yelling, "Yay, my invisibility experiments finally worked!" And then let out the evil-villain laugh.

...but this is more me.

[Ironclad Alibi]

I might have started quoting Emily Dickinson at her. "I'm nobody, who are you?"

This looks like a good place in mention the Nobody song.

[Mr Hero]

Damn, I should have left my Stone Mask at home.

[chainedbarista]

'yah, there's NO ONE behind you, NO ONE at all.'

bitch.

[Mytical]

Hmm I'd have been tempted to say "Hi, I am Nobody" also

See though I'd actually have preferred my cousin to have been there, he does a dead on imitation of Freddy Krueger. I have the authoritative voice that I can use when I want, but he can have a demonic voice when he wants.

"There's no one waiting behind me, so I can take my time."

*gently taps the old lady's shoulders* "Ma'am, I'm not just a figment of your Alzheimer's. I am as real as you."

[shadowpanda]

I think I would pretended to answer my mobile and say 'Hi, I'll be there in a minute, I'm just queueing to pay for my stuff at *store*'

Would be embarrassing if my phone actually rang then though...

[Pagan]

I don't know what it is with extremely self absorbed people. I swear, they truly think they are the only people on the road, in the store, here, there, everywhere. It's sickening.

I'm glad it's not just me noticing this. The other day, some bitch was blocking the way and when I said "Excuse me", I can't remember exactly what she said, but it something that implied that I had done something wrong. I looked at her and said, "The proper response to someone who says 'excuse me' because you're blocking the way, is 'oh, I'm sorry' and move. But then, some of us actually learned manners." And then I walked off.

[Rantsylvania 6-5000]

I hope she was merely oblivious, and not trying to act superior. It also annoys me though, because even if there was no one behind her, she's still being inconsiderate of the employee. Like the cashier has nothing else to do!

[chainedbarista]

i agree, blas; whatever happened to caring about each other? oh yea, it died out with parenting.

[zombiequeen]

Dang, if I had been there, I would have sang the pumpkin carving song...but only because it makes me less angry. The words:

Oh, the knife goes in, stabbity-stabbity!
The guts fall out on the slabbity-slabbity!
That's how we carve the pumpkin!
Just like dear old dad!

My brother taught me that song like years ago, don't know where he got it from. Makes awkward, stressful situations just that much better.
