So, I'm heading home from work, yesterday, and as I'm approaching a red light, I see a woman and man walking in the crosswalk. About halfway across, the man suddenly starts shouting and carrying on and walking back the other way, yelling all kinds of insults and shit at the woman who, for her part, is not saying anything at all or looking his direction.
I figure that the man in question must have spotted the woman while at the gas station on the corner and followed her while trying to get her number or otherwise chat her up. She, not being interested, ignored him. At which point, since he had to look like a "real man" in front of his two buddies, decided that he would have to "show her" for not giving him the time of day.
I shouted something unflattering but not profane at the guy as I waited for the light to change. I don't think he even noticed, but I'm pretty sure both his buddies did.
....
Later, I stopped at the store prior to getting home. One of my big peeves is people who can't be arsed to move their carts out to where they belong. Or, at the very least, parking them on the grass islands so that they're not in the way.
As I get out of my car, I see a woman emptying her cart into her trunk. She's got a lanyard on with a ton of cards attached to it, and I get the impression that she works in the medical field in some capacity based on that and her clothing.
As I'm just passing by, on the other side of the aisle than her car, I see her take her now-empty cart and shove it into the space next to where she parked. Which just so happens to be the extra space for wheelchair access for the handicapped spot she was next to.
So, me being me, I shout out, "Jesus Christ, lady, really? The cart return is right here!" I point to the cart return, which I just walked past, that is almost directly across the aisle from her parking spot, not 20 feet away. "How lazy can you get?"
She spent at least the next minute yelling at my back as I headed into the store. I almost thought she was going to follow me inside, but if she had that much energy, she would have just put her cart where it belonged in the first place.
