To The moron in Target on her cell phone
I’m sure you will be surprised to discover the universe would not stop spinning on its axis if you didn’t answer your damned phone. There you stand, completely oblivious to the shopping cart traffic jam you created. You are the Blanche DuBois of retail rudeness, “depending on the kindness of strangers.”
Well, I am a stranger and right now, I’m not feeling kindly. I am bewildered, confused and completely flummoxed as to how to react.
Should I cough and hope you will get it and move out of the way? Or, maybe a firm, “Excuse me.” I resist the urge to injure your toes and footwear and move forward while muttering through clenched teeth with a fake smile pasted on my face.
What I’d really like to do is run my shopping cart over your Manolo Blahniks.
This is what I wish I’d done. Maybe next time I will.
