OMG! I went grocery shopping while Aaron was at work today. We are having burritos this week and when I got to the wraps I couldn't remember if we had any since when they are on sale we buy extras and freeze them. So I pull my cart all the way to the side and call Aaron to ask if we had. Conversations lasts a whole 30 seconds while he tells me that he remembers defrosting the last ones so we need new ones.
During those 30 seconds I get bumped from behind. I don't think much of it, figuring it is either a kid or someone who misjudged while trying to get past the couple who parked their cart in the middle while looking at the other side.
Turns out that it is some 80 year old woman. Instead of apologizing she starts telling me that I should wait until I get home to talk on the phone.
I was shocked. No excuse me or apologies. By the time I actually realized what had happened she was gone. (I was like 2 feet from the end)
I could not picture my grandparents or Aaron's grandparents ever doing that, would yours?
Re: The nerve of some people
She must have a hard time functioning in society if she thinks that it's her duty to reprimand everyone she sees talking on a cell phone!
I could understand if she was right behind you the whole time and you just stopped and she ran into you. Like it drives Adam and I NUTS when you're out in public and you're walking behind someone and they just stop. Or people that just stand there with no regard for other people needing to continue on their way.
Obviously, you didn't do any of that and she was just being a crotchety old woman. Unfortunately, not a whole lot you can do about that. Besides, of course, what stephers said.
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.

agreed!
