So I went to WalMart today, even tho I hate the place with a passion. We're doing this stupid Secret Santa thing at work, and where else can you go to get cheap crap?
Anyway, so I'm in Wal-Mart and some fucker has abandoned a cart in the aisle, now I'm shopping, and completely blocking the aisle because of the abandoned cart. Some lady comes up behind me and wants by so I move up and push my cart over in front of the abandoned one while I look at all those stupid gift box food things. (This is taking far more energy to bitch about than I expected)
So while I'm standing there, I have my cart on the left side of the aisle and I'm looking at the right side. Then some old fucker and his wife stop on the right side, without blocking my view of the cheap crap, and the guy stops to lecture me on WalMart shopping protocol. Apparently you are supposed to park your cart on the side of the aisle you're shopping. It seems my faux pas was enough to irritate this sonofabitch enough that he had to get snotty and "educate" me.
I really didn't know what to say at first, there was no eye contact made before this, no one was in anyone's way, he just didn't like my disrespect of his WalMart shopping experience. So I asked him if I was in his way - did he want to look at what my cart was blocking, he said no. No, he just wanted to be a fucker.
I told him I wasn't aware of this rule and thanked him for bringing me up to speed. Then I moved my cart back over to the right side, completely cutting off the aisle and leaving him stuck in front of me while his wife and cart were blocked in behind me. This didn't make him very happy, but he really couldn't say much - they left the aisle after that.
What the fuck is with people this time of year? Everyone is all filled with the Christmas spirit, making them exponentially more rude, obnoxious and self-serving. They're making it difficult for me to scoff at the Christmas experience..I may have to embrace this new fangled version of Christmas Spirit..
