I was at Publix the other day, picking up some goodies for our vacation to the Smoky Mountains. In this store, the dairy products are located on the same aisle that the soda is on. While I was looking for some milk to carry in the cooler, I heard this:
AW/M (Abusive Wife/Mother)
WH/F (Wimpy Husband/Father)
AW/M: Well, tell me what kind of soda you want! They only have fifty different stupid kinds here. I don't know if Cherry Coke is better than Orange Crush! Just tell me what you want! Fine!!! (and hangs up her phone)
WH/F: What did she say?
AW/M: She's so stupid sometimes and doesn't have a brain, like you! She said she wanted Cherry Coke.
(Now, WH/F started to pick up a twelve pack of Cherry Coke, when AW/M stormed in with):
AW/M: Hey, stupid! That one's dirty. You need to get one that is clean on the box! Aw, both you and her are such morons!
Keep in mind, at least a dozen other people were on this aisle, listening in to this. None of us could help but stop and stare open jawed at this one. The assumption was, which is why I called them what I did in this thread, she is the mother of the girl she was speaking with on the phone, and this is her husband who takes this abuse.
I think all someone had to do was follow this couple out, get the license plate of their car, and report this bitchy woman to someone, like child services. Wish I had thought of it, but it never occurred to me until after I had left. It was pretty stunning.
