RUde incident in Giant?

[Anonymous]

OP anyone who says they never asked someone to watch their spot in line for a minute is either too perfect for the rest of us or forgetful.

Most normal people would gladly hold your spot in line.

As for your mom in the car, I assume you left the air on. People are so judgemental even when they don't have all the facts. Why assume you are leaving your mother in a sweltering car.

Anyone else get the feeling OP is sockpuppeting?

Op her elderly mother and father were on the car. She wins.

You are the definition of "entitled."

What an a-hole.

OP left the engine running with no driver in the car? Is this something people do?

Cannot stand people like you. You are the ones who make life around here really suck. Is it so hard to be nice to someone who lives in your own community? I once ran to get something I had forgotten and someone pushed my cart out of the way to get ahead of us -- AND MY DC WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE. I was like, why did you let her push the cart out of the way? He was too shy to say anything. I was floored that someone would have the nerve to do that to a child. He was 9.

People like you two PPs are really unlikable. So glad I am not raising my children to behave or think like you do.

I would gladly let someone back in line if they ran to get something. Gladly. It's easy for nice people.

She was wrong. I would always hold a the place in line while someone runs and gets something, until the point where one of us is next. Then if you're not back I'm checking out. But it sounds like there were still people in front of you by the time you got back.

I'm guessing OP had the a/c on or windows open. It wasn't too hot for windows open.

I just did this the other day at the store. I forgot olive oil and asked the person behind me if they would mind holding my spot and ran off and was back in a minute. The person ahead of me still was not done checking out and even if they had been, the checker could have started scanning my groceries if I had taken another minute. Sorry, that lady was a bitch, OP! Unless you were actually holding up the line and did not have enough time to make it back. Then you were a jerk.

As to leaving your elderly mom in the car, I'm assuming she probably had the engine running and A/C on! DCUM is weird.

I agree with this, and I think it's a key distinction. You don't just leave and go get something you forgot. You ask if it's ok with the others behind you.

OP was the rude one here.

Or, complete checkout, then get water and check out a second time.

The woman was rude, but I think you were too.

This.

FFS, this is America, drink the fucking tap water and STFU. You drink tap water everyday in your coffee, tea and meals.

This is absurd. No one in their right mind would get out of line and go to the back of the line because they forgot something. What would the point of that be, since everyone is just standing there waiting anyway?

No one behaves this way IRL. No one.

Occasionally, but just my five year old, not the baby, she comes with me.
