2005-07-27 . 8:04 a.m. - Sorry, I don't accept ass pennies at this register.I am Marcela's intolerance of rude people.
Last night, Neutron and I went grocery shopping. It had been a while since we had gone and, as you can imagine, we had a pretty full cart when we finally got to the checkout line. Just as our cashier was scanning the last few items, the customer in back of us remarks "You guys should really go to Costco." He didn't even say it in a joking manner, he said it in the same way a rude person would look at a family of 15 and say "You guys should really buy some condoms." I didn't know what to say, so I just said "yeah ... I guess so." Then he says "No, seriously, you would save a lot of money." Once again, it wasn't a light-hearted comment; following the previous analogy he may as well have said "No, seriously, your reproduction rate is a plight on humanity." At this point, I actually started blushing. I don't know why I let him make me feel so uncomfortable. I really wanted to just turn around, look him in the eye, and say "Yeah, well you should really try minding your own business!" ::sigh:: Should-a, could-a, would-a.
...
My point is this: people should mind their own business. Moreover, this rule should apply doubly so to people of the rude persuasion. Keep your two cents, and if you happen to be rude, you can shove those two cents up your ass.

We went to the mall this weekend and I was lured into the dollar store by some knock-off Sharpie markers I saw in the window. Stay tuned for pictures of that adventure.
