Today at the grocery store, my cashier disgusted me so feverishly that I silently hoped to myself she would SHUT THE FUCK UP so I could leave as quickely as possible without bludgeoning her before she was finished.
She was an oozing mound of ignorance, a steaming pile of idiot.
To the guy in front of me about sauerkraut (because he asked where it was):
"Whyyyyy do you want that?? We don't eat that here!! That's jewish!!! That's jewish! We use ketchup and mustard on our hot dogs here. I'm sorry but that is GROSS!!"
Dude: "It's pretty good...It's like a relish..."
Annoying cashier: "I mean, people like what they like I guess...but I'll never understand. That's jewish anyway..." (WTF!?? a million times about this WRONG comment on so many levels)
Then, because I can't stand listening to this another second without screaming, chime in and defend this stranger's desire for sauerkraut. She looks perplexed and outnumbered. I also proceed to give her a brief lesson on the regional origins of sauerkraut.
Finally it's my turn to be rung up. She rings up my vegetarian sausage and scowls.
"What's this?? Is this fake-meat?? It's green! Is it supposed to be green??"
"It looks fine", I say coldly.
"Are you sure??" she asks. "So are you vegetarian??"
"No, but I don't really eat much meat."
"You know, my brother tried to get me to eat that way once and I've never been more constipated in my life!!"
WHO THE FUCK TALKS TO STRANGERS ABOUT BEING CONSTIPATED?? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD?? WHEN DID GOING IN TO BUY A FEW GROCERIES GET TO BE THIS AGITATING AND ANNOYING!!??? OH MY GODDDDD!!!!!
And people want to know why I don't like talking to anyone. Chrizzist.
Now I am going to go and make red velvet cupcakes and drink them with a cold glass of soymilk and maybe I'll be constipated all night.

(Even though I'm pretty sure I will not)
People tryna front like they know me on the BM tip. Shitttt son.

carla [email] said at 12:40 AM 04-02-2006: There were seriously so many things I wanted to say. But I am very much like Pandora's box when it comes to my temper so when it's unleashed that shit is OUT THERE and it's not going back in. The whole encounter really made me grouchy for a little bit afterwards though.
And here I sit, venting about it on the internet, because it's cheaper than therapy.
myriam [email] said at 12:43 AM 04-02-2006: ha ha ha! i rarely lose my temper nowadays (after years of irish temperedness) but when i lose it, i REALLY lose it. i lost it at o'hare last week and embarrassed the shit out of poor sweet john. those idiots at united...
