I loved my grandmothers very much and I remember them every day in my prayers.
But good thing you aren't rude or insensitive or selfish.
There’s a lot of hatred on this thread for people perceived to be “elderly.”
Do you honestly believe that if it was a 17 year old boy mouthing off about the cops wife and kids instead, the posters here would be vociferously championing the cause of an annoying young punk?
We all know people like this horrible woman: they are the ones who get in a long dispute with the only cashier at the store over whether the store let him or her slide with an expired coupon last time.
They are the ones who, at a gas station, pull up around the line, drive over parking spaces and then back into the open pump from the front.
They are the people who, rather than wait for the next subway train or bus spend ten minutes pushing and shoving trying to wedge in.
They are the people who when sales are limited to two items apiece take four and refuse to let another customer have any while they wait for the friend they just called on their cellphone to arrive and buy the two they are hoarding.
They are the people who, when their meal doesn't come out as quickly as they want at a drivethru, block everyone else in until they get their food.
Get a grip. She’s not a “horrible woman.” You don’t even know her. You are simply on the wrong side of this. And you are mistaken to believe that you are not going to encounter obstacles in life. Life does not owe you or me a smooth, trouble-free path.
And, she wasn’t “blocking everyone else.” Your animosity towards this person is disturbing.
