Mall fun: The line bitch and the demonspawn with the drooling dad
Sarah finds the long line at the TJ Maxx register turning against her when she dares suggest the clerk call for somebody to help out:
... The clerk looked at me for a minute, casting a withering gaze, and said she was busy with a customer and could not call someone else to ring.
I was a little incredulous. Really? You can't take 2 seconds to make one of those "Rebecca up front to ring" announcements?
And what's even more shocking is when I looked to my fellow shoppers for a little commiseration I felt a distinct shifting in the people around me to take one step away from me. Could it be? A simple voicing of a concern everyone felt had me dubbed the Line Bitch? ...
Meanwhile, Tania puts fathers too busy chatting up big-busted new moms to spot their hellions of sons terrorizing other kids at the Barnes & Noble Brio train set on notice: She will take action the next time your kid tries to beat hers up:
... Before I knew what was happening the boy had Chicky in a full on headlock. It seems like he reached across her body from over her shoulder to grab for the toy and Chicky, once again, would not let it go.
Uh uh, see? Now you've gone and pissed me off, kid. ...

After having read a few of
After having read a few of these, I lean towards assuming that the poster is more likely to the the problem than the victim. The very act of going public with a one-sided rant makes me think that their little angel, or their nice doggie, or their reasonable request was the real irritant. It may only be a 55-45% probablity, but it's my experience that the very people who cause others problems tend to be the same ones who can't imagine why the rest of the world doesn't just roll over for them.
I couldn't agree more
