Conversations I have In My Head At The Grocery Store..."no, no, no, please, go right ahead... it's obvious to me now just how important you really ARE, heaven forbid you'd have to wait in line, with the rest of us peons. I am just so sorry I didn't recognise how important you were, before I got in your way."

OR......

"Sure, stop in the middle of the freaking isle for your impromptu class reunion, I don't have anywhere to be, and EVERYONE wants to know how Billy Bob is."

"Yup, that WAS my ankle...forgive me for assuming you saw me standing here."

"I'm sorry, what? Oh...you're not talking to me, you're on your phone - while we all wait for you to unload your cart..."

"Please, excuse me for standing here in your way - picking this item off of the shelf, as you squeeze yourself in front of me to get past...I didn't realize I had my cloak of invisibility on today."

"Yeah, I saw you bag that without scanning it....now what you gonna do?"

"Oh my gosh! This is a parking lot, not a private sidewalk, ya moron!"

"You are literally standing next to the cart return, get your cart out from behind my car, what is wrong with you?"

"Oh my gosh....WALK!!!"

"heavy sigh....If my kid ever acted like that....whew!"

"27 lanes and 2 are open. Excuse me, what's the quota for the number of people in line before you open another register, 50?"

"Yes lady, the end of an aisle is just like an intersection, you should look BOTH ways before exiting."

"UGH, PEOPLE!!"

I didn't say that outloud, did I?

***

I am sure I have missed something...please feel free to tell me your tales. :)
