And the annoying people win again.

Good Morning, I went back and read through this thread, and your right, I took what you said out of context...lol...I was tired and grumpy....and I guess that's why we all need to be more tolerant and loving toward each other....you seem to be a lovely person...

Overall I would say I'm nice to people, usually have a smile for any stranger I meet, but boy, once in awhile that Irish/Italian temper can really come out, and while I don't think I would ever pull a gun on anyone for such a frivolous reason...I do have some level of empathy for the woman that snapped....she had never been in trouble with the law before this incident, and now she's facing hard core jail time at over age 50...the whole thing is just sad.....

Whatever happened to the generation of people who could tune people out at will? A book, newspaper or even headphones

Have you ever tried to maintain a flow of thoughts with someone talking on a phone nearby? It's impossible.

People have become so self-centered that I'm waiting for a news report of two people yelling this at each other: "Will you be quiet? I'm on the phone here!" "No, I'm on the phone, so YOU be quiet!" Punch, hair pull, wrestle, kick, arrest. lol

What next, I have the right to explode verbally, and maybe even take out a gun... on someone because they weren't being courteous and stepped in front of my cart? ..or they hit my ankle with their cart ?

This makes me think of road rage. Someone cuts off someone, throws a middle finger out the window or drives too slow and people are ready to pull them over, walk up and fill them full of holes. Now we got this crap called sidewalk rage where people get stuck behind someone walking to slow and theyre ready to shoot them too. Getting to the point where people murder other people thinking theyre doing God or the world a service.

I understand the frustrated level some people can bring us into ,with their actions, especially on certain days , and I was pretty sure you were just explaining that level of frustration when you mentioned the gun, and I couldn't envision you pulling out a gun in supermarket.

You're correct in stating that it is human to also lose patience some days, when on others you have all the tolerance in the world , and it is nice that you have compassion for a woman who has no previous record, and let a bad situation turn into a very bad day. It is sad, and I hope that she and others learned a valuable lesson.

I think your level of compassion, and understanding is needed to make this world an easier place to live in.

BUT...if they happen to be pretty girls, no one will call the cops, and if they do the cops will just give them a warning, and maybe ask them on a date.
