MY NEW PET PEEVE

Posted on 08/02/2005 10:36:12 AM PDT by redlocks322

I just spent my lunch hour at the grocery store. I was so ticked off by the time I left, I had sweat rolling down my face.

First of all, (and I'm not knocking stay at home mom's) but is the noon hour the ONLY hour in the day that they can schedule hauling their screaming bawling children to the grocery store???? I mean come on... those of us who work 50 hours a week use our lunch hour to get things done, not to tango in the isle trying to get around a passle of "play group" kids on a field trip!

To top it all of... after my $260 worth of groceries, there was no one left to sack them for all the "mommy groups" so I sacked them myself and had to carry them out myself, all so I can get back to work and fume over it.

I think there should be a law against people who don't work to stay out of the grocery store from 11am to 1pm during the week and let us workers have the opportunity to get our stuff done.

Anyway, done venting... like I said I have nothing against stay at home moms as long as they stay at home during the lunch time hours.

They're not back from the store yet! :-)

Can I get that in a 15 year old female version. My oldest daughter is "helping" me at work today.

You don't have a clue...

You think YOU guys are bad! Ha!

These girls will discuss things in detail that would make Hefner blush.

Every military commisary and BX have a couple of checkout counters reserved for military personnel, "IN UNIFORM" from 1100-1300 (1pm). It is funny how nobody bitches about that.

In eerie foreshadowing of my brother and I joining artillery, we detonated the backyard a few times.

What a whiner. I hope when you have kids the baby diaherrias all over you as you are leaving for work one morning and your other shirts are at the cleaners.

Unhelping?
Uh oh.
;-)
(I think it is in the contract that children are supposed to unhelp their parents.. Or is that an optional rider clause to the contract? I never did understand it myself.)
