My friend told me the most disturbing story yesterday and I just have to rant about it here. The other day she was waiting for a parking spot at her bank and had her signal on to indicate she was waiting for that spot. Then some lady swooped in and took the spot she was waiting for. My friend did exactly what I would have done and called out the lady for taking her spot. The lady then called my friend a bitch, yelled at her some more and then said, "Not only are you a bitch, but you're an ugly bitch."First off, my friend is NOT ugly. This lady was obviously at fault and because her time was clearly more valuable than my friend's, she felt the need to not only insult her character, but also how she looked which is CLEARLY uncalled for.
I just don't get people. Do they just let verbal diarrhea spew from their mouth and not care about what they're saying and who they're hurting?
To try and make her feel better, I told my friend about the time I was shopping at Trader Joe's and was wearing a flowy dress. Some idiot came up to me and asked when my baby was due?!?!? OMG there is probably nothing more insulting for a woman when someone assumes she's pregnant when she's NOT. I've always stuck to the rule that unless the baby is actually coming out of the woman, never assume she's pregnant. She could be just fat, or have a horrible tumor!
Do people not think when they start to talk? Or realize how much they hurt people's feelings? My friend was terribly upset by what that woman said to her, and the pregnant comment didn't exactly make me feel great.
Think before you talk, that's all I have to say. Oh, and if someone else has their blinker on for a spot, don't take it!
