Zsa-Zsa Gabor looks like Mother Theresa compared to....

Zsa Zsa Gobor looks like a saint compared to this lady I just ran into at the grocery store.

Please bear with me while I vent. Usually I'm really good about letting things run off my shoulders but lately I've been dealing with a real anti-social on a daily basis so I'm becoming very tired of rude and disrespectful behavior.

Here's the long version. Last night I had a date that had to cancel. We were gonna' go eat some steak fajitas and drink some beer. So I've had a craving for steak fajitas all day. So I go to the store to get all the fixins to set myself up. As I walked by the newstand I noticed the latest copy of Pro Football Weekly so I grabbed it real quick and started scanning it for Chiefs news. I'm standing there for about 30 or 40 seconds, minding my own business, and I hear this very abrupt "excuse me!" I look over and see this 70'ish lady with dyed pitch-black hair. Always one to give the benefit of the doubt, I replied, "I'm sorry if I was being rude."

She said in a very mean-spirited tone, "no, cheap." She turned up her nose to walk away. The paper she wanted (some Enquirer type tabloid) wasn't even blocked by me. It was off to my left.

I was momentarily stunned. I can't remember the last time I was spoken to so rudely for no reason by a complete stranger. It took me about three seconds to put the paper back and step to her side to say, "excuse me?" She responded by saying, "what's your name, I'm going to report you. You need anger management."

At this point she's really getting to me. I acknowledge that I was having a bad day but this lady was over the top. She was really getting under my skin. So I just said, "look, you were the one that was rude." Then I just walked away.

So I'm talking to myself the whole time and thinking "damn, that bitch was rude." I couldn't find the steak fajitas anywhere so I just got frustrated and gave up. As I was leaving there she was near the exit talking to another 70ish lady with dyed blonde hair and they're both staring at me the whole way as I walk by them. And I can hear the one talking about me.

Like I said, if I wasn't in a bad mood I probably would have just blew it off but I was so fed up I stopped and said, "you had no reason to talk to me that way."

She again said, "what's your name? If you approach me one more time I'm going to report you."

Now, this is where I feel bad. The whole situation pissed me off so much I said, "Lady, you are rude. You'd think that somebody that has lived on this planet as long as you would understand the importance of respect."

The two ladies looked at each other and went, "oooh."

Now, I'll admit that I'd like to take my last comment back but was I completely wrong or was this lady a real bitch?

It was like my Grandma was intentionally picking a fight with me.
