I'm up to here --- with grumpy old ladies like the Devil with the Blue Hair who was taking up two seats at the crowded movie theater, and acted So PUT Out when I asked her very politely to please move her bags and detritus, so my husband and I could actually sit together.
Well, I wasn't quite so polite when I told her that if she didn't want to sit next to people, maybe she should have waited until the movie came out on DVD, and then she could watch it in the comfort of her home. All by herself.
Another grump was the Devil in the Red Sweater who was walking her dog on the soccer fields despite the many signs reading "No Pets Allowed". When I politely told her that dogs were not permitted, she told me that I didn't have permission to be there at my son's practice.
She started to tell me how nasty I was, (ah if she only knew), but she soon got a clue at how Jersey I could be, when I said to her, "It's all about you, isn't it? You don't care about the rules, the rules don't apply to you!" Her husband got her under control and led her off the field and tried to give me the "hand". Doesn't work, pal, you got the leash on the wrong bi+ch.
I am also up to here --- with grumpy patients who don't want to take responsibility or solve their problems. I can't care more about their problems than they do, that's for sure and a lesson I learn daily.
And how was your week?

Oh dear. . .
Martha is on a tear!
oh my goodness! lol I can't stand when people think they're above the rules! lol I'm a bit of an anal rule follower/enforcer! =)
Wow! I hope we don't become them someday!!! I'm sure we won't though, we have too much sense in our heads.
If my hubby reads this he's going to think I'm from Jersey.
I don't think I've ever read a cuss word come out of your mouth! You must REALLY be mad!
Happy Holidays!
"you got the leash on the wrong bi+ch."
Bwahahahahahaha!
i sooooooooooo FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!!
retail in the holiday season.. one of these day... I. AM. GONNA. LOSE. MY. COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!
I bet you feel so much better for getting that off your chest.
"How jersey I could be." You are going to have to explain this to one confused Brit.
Oh yeah, you need a day at home!
Are you the cranky old lady magnet? You've had quite a run lately! I hope you only encounter interesting and eccentric old ladies from here on...
I am so in awe of your comments to these grumpy women. I ran into a grumpy old man once at the grocery store. But I'm not quick!
You definitely need to stop running into grumpy old ladies.
I probably would've shot someone - you know, if I had a gun and actually knew how to use one.
We will NOT become the "grumpy old ladies".
You are awesome.
I love it when you get all Jersey!
Oh, wow, how awful. I think though the patients who refuse to face up to facts would bother me the most. Hang in there. Maybe people are just grumpy because it's the holidays.
Come on girl, don't hold back...just let it all out! Heeehehehe!
Is that anything like when I stopped the car to let a sweet little lady cross in of me and when she got face to face she turned and gave me the finger!!! I had to pick my jaw off the floor of the car.
Guess it takes all kinds, huh???
You have an amazingly blessed day sweetie!!!
Well goodness Martha had you had a bad day that day? LOL! Love your saying about how "Jersey" you can be.
I have a BFF at work from Jersey who steps in to let everyone know how I really feel all the time, LOL! :-)
merry christmas.. hope your holiday are fabulous!!!!!!!!
