Shun them, shame them, abuse them.
I am getting used to actively doing theses things in all aspects in my life. It is against my nature, as it does make me appear to be mean. My latest act of meanness was at the grocery store about an hour ago. The woman ahead of me was having problems with her EBT card (Food Stamps) in the self-checkout line. She was complaining/giving crap to a high school kid working at the store and holding me up. (Amazing contrast by the way. A 17 year old, I know her, she goes to school and is friends with my daughter. She is working a job after school where she gets great grades. The food stamp woman was middle aged, fat, poorly dressed and completely illiterate ... Could not speak the American language if her life depended on it.)
This is the exchange that I had with her.
Me: "Shut your Obama loving pie hole and stop complaining, but before you do anything, say thank you."
She: "Say what?"
Me: "I said, 'say thank you.'"
She: "to who?", with her big fat lip sticking out.
Me: "To the person who is trying to help you, and to me."
She: "why you?"
Me: "because I am paying for your food stamps. Have you no shame?"
She shut up, but she didn't say thank you. Just what you would expect from one of Obama's people. At least she wasn't bothering my daughter's friend anymore.
LOL!
