If the other shoppers were Southern, they were just politely ignoring your atrocious lack of manners and display of poor breeding...

No, cultured Southerners would not have referred to raising and nurturing children as "breeding," an expression reserved for livestock. Please see my post #39.

I beg to differ. It is a term used discretely quite often in referring to poorly mannered people such as those who speak loudly and provocatively in a crowded store.
