I'm not proud, but not ashamed

[summer]

I pushed an old lady today. She wasn't frail or anything, she was strong, I had to use some counterweight.

The elevator is big enough for 2 strollers and another lady and I were on. She tried to butt her way in and we both said first politely, then shouting,"Nein! Es geht nicht!"

She refused to get off, so I pushed her out. I suppose if someone somewhere in the universe is keeping score, I lose some points.

That's really all that matters

Well, you get points from me and, really, that's the most important thing. :-p. ETA: Jinx summer! LOL

Old people can be pushy as fuck, sometimes literally. One once physically shoved my toddler daughter out of the way to get to a free sample at Costco. Long story short, I'm not judging you.

[redwino]

That's hilarious! No judgement here. I've wanted to push plenty of old peopl. Well actually I want to ram my Kia soul into the back of their Cadillacs but the feelings are the same.

Don't ever go to Costco in Boca. I had to learn to prefect my olds shove at a young age just to make it through alive.

I need you to explain the reactions of (1) The lady being pushed while you pushed her (2) The other lady in the elevator.

OMG I am in TEARS!!! NitaX cookiemdough @soudesafinado @smorriso  GET YOUR GIRL!!

She tried to talk trash as we were descending. "Come at me, bro!"

[iammalcolmx]

May I also add that in the past two months origami has gotten into TWO fights with old people. My favorite was when she texted me saying she was racing around the store looking for the women who took her parking space.

If you only knew how hard I was laughing right now. I just had to close my office door.

I want to know the German version of trash talk. Yo mama wears lederhosen?

The fuck? Is there a reason origami has not shared this with me?

See! That needs to be said in English. Cursing someone out in German doesn't have the same oomph. They only get points because when you yell in German it always sounds Hitler-ish.

What??   Oh my goodness.

Save some room for me on your bench in hell.

Because I totally clocked an 8th grader with my shoulder yesterday.

I was walking on the sidewalk, right by the curb. There was a giant group of 8th graders because it's 8th Grade School Trip Season in DC. They were probably walking four across. I didn't turn my body to avoid hitting her and may have ever so slightly leaned into my left shoulder. Hey, kid's gotta learn at some point!

No sympathy here for sidewalk hogs. For some reason is was particularly awful in Brisbane. I think my shoulder started getting bruised.

Exactly. I bet when you tell your child how excited you are about the A they got in spelling it sounds like you're justifying a Polish invasion.

This post has made my morning.

I began smiling right away, but I lost it at "She wasn't frail."

Thank you, summer. You tell that old German bat to suck it!

God, no one is more entitled than old people. I was juggling C, the diaper bag, my credit card, and the cart with purchases the other day at the register at Target, and some old bitch was all, "Um, EXCUSE ME!" to get around to another register/out the door. I wanted to spit on her.

This is why I don't stop DD from yelling at people in line or when they yell at us while selling stuff outside the store. She's like a personal guard kid.

This is where the NY in me can get a bit out of hand. I am a nice person normally, trying to be pleasant, but when people are rude, especially when it comes to doors and not holding them so I can grab when I have my hands full with a child, I make loud commentary.  I've gotten a few looks but I am all "sorry, not sorry" learn manners asshole.  

I had a Costco issue with some bitch going in for her second sample of the same thing who bumped LT into the table cart pushing to get a piece of cake.  I grabbed him and knocked into them.  Nope. Don't care.  Stop eating lunch on the free samples. 

[cville]

I have two, diametrically opposed, reactions to this story:

1. That old bitch pretending like she can't hear or see or understand the time-space continuum.

2. Man, won't it be fun to be an old bitch pretending like I can't hear or see or understand the time-space continuum.

I need to see the other one...what the heck.
But this one, what is going on with people who can't back out of a space without doing a 20 pt pull out?  Or, can not get into a space in one shot, straight, because they don't swing out a bit??

I didn't save the other one. But as I recall it was right before a snow storm at the grocery store. And I was texted the following : " I am looking for her because I want her to see I am a 6 foot tall b!tch and I am hungry!!"

I had the EXACT same experience at Frankfurt International a few years ago (okay, I suppose it wasn't exact...I had my dog with me, since I didn't have kids at the time).   I had parked my car in the lot, and got on the elevator to the terminal with a couple of other people. It was looking pretty full, and I was pretty sure there wasn't enough room for my dog and I. I decided to wait for the next elevator, but the people inside were smiling and beckoning for me to come in (side note: Germans love dogs). So we get in the elevator, which at this point is pretty full, and someone presses the close door button. An older woman comes running up to the elevator, pushing one of those huge luggage carts, and tries to push her way in. She almost ran over my dog's paw, and I was PISSED. Everyone else in the elevator was yelling at her, she was yelling back, and finally a man stepped forward, shoved her luggage cart so it started rolling back, and she was forced to run after it while someone else hit the close door button. 

Unreal. I get that people have planes to catch...but it's not that damn hard to wait for the next elevator.

I'm dying at picturing her chasing the luggage cart.
