What is Wrong with People? I did not deserve what happened to me today!

Ok I need to vent because I am still a little shook up.

I was at Shoppers Drug mart this afternoon picking up supplies as I do every week. I am in the check out with a whole basket of items. As the clerk is ringing through my order my phone wrings and I answer it. With my phone propped on my shoulder I am digging through my purse for my debit card. AND THIS IS WHERE IT TURNS BAD!

Guy behind me asks the clerk if there is another till open and she says no. Then out of no where he starts yelling and he says "you stupid bitch why can't you get your fucking shit together" I turn around and realize it is me he is yelling at.

The clerk is still ringing through my order so my brief phone call was not holding anything up he continues to yell at me very loud calling me every name in the book. I was totally caught off guard and flustered so now I cant find my card. As i dig though my purse he starts yelling louder and louder and being very vulgar with me. I tell the clerk behind the counter to just let him go through. It was not worth the aggravation nor could I handle listening to him berate me for no reason.

To make things even worse when he left he stood outside the front doors and causing me now to feel scared. I ended up standing inside and waited for him to leave.

What dumbfounds me the most is not one person said anything to this person the whole time he was yelling at me nor did any staff try to diffuse him. There were many people in the store and clearly a staff member in a managerial position not ten feet away.

I stick up for people all the time and today no one stuck up for me. This whole situation really rattled me. It takes a lot to make me cry and today I had a mini melt down, maybe I am being to sensitive.

That messed up as a guy I would have been slower. And make him more mad and see what happen. Maybe it because this guy hate women in general and took it out on you. But that was on called for.

I get annoyed at people who are slow in check-in lines, but I limit my anger to eye-rolling and icy stares. This guy sounds like a freak!

Funny. I also had a rude customer in a long lineup at Shoppers complain about me (of all people) a month ago. I was returning an item. There was a new cashier not familiar with the process of refunding a returned item and then reselling the same item again so that I qualify for the Swiss Chalet 1/4 chicken coupon. I also had an Optimum card and MasterCard as well that had to be processed.

Anyway, I asked the cashier to process the complaining guy ahead of me so he could be on his way. This guy did thank me and apologize for being rude and explained that he had to get the meds back to to his sick mom quickly. I understood and said no problem.

Probably a Terbite who needed to get laid really bad but couldn't have you, so he lost it. lol Watch out for the bad review now.

Trying to lighten it up so it doesn't get to you.


Next time you wanna go to Shoppers, pm me and I'll escort you. I dare anyone to act that way when I'm around. No worries.

What is Wong with People? I did not deserve what happened to me today!
I am sure you mean wrong, not necessarily mean that Jerk is a Chinese, right. ;)

BTW, this guy is a messed up for sure and I really hope he does not do this on purpose in the public...if you know what I mean.

Sorry you had to go through that Molly but he'll get his as Karma can be quite wicked as it comes back tenfold.

You gots to be real tolerant and extra careful these days with all the idiots and loonies around every corner these days. Especially aggressive ones.

Good thing he didn't touch you or anything.

Too bad nobody stood up for you either. Too many passive people in Toronto until they themselves need help. People are generally scared and they were probably afraid he might have turned his anger on them if they said anything.

Sometimes it's best to avoid a potential escalation of things too by not responding to such people as it might result in something regrettable. Yes you feel like shit now and I would too but you'll get over it.:)

Speaking of checkout lines, the one I still dread the most is Canadian Tire. There are still customers there who fumble with cash and those paper Canadian Tire money. Takes them forever to to get checked out. Even worse when they have manufacturer's coupons or those Canadian Tire cards where you rub out the blank space to see if you get a $5 discount. Maybe, I'll try self-service next time.

I don't think you are being too sensitive Molly. There are alot of fucked up people out there walking around on the edge. I am not surprised noone would come to your rescue in this matter because well, we have been trained to keep our mouths shut and to mind our own business for fear of becoming a target ourselves of who knows what kind of violence. Good news is everything turned out ok and you kept your wits about you. Take heart that this guy will have to deal with karma as its surely a sign of his typical anger toward the world. There are also good Samaritans that will come to your aid but sadly none were present today.
Just blow the incident off your back and have a glass of wine and say to yourself.
Thank god I am not a psychopath like that loser.

MOLLY! I'll stick up for but I'm very disappointed in you at this moment. Why, because I know that you have a great sense of humour and you just plain messed up. This is one of those "OH NO YOU DIDN'T moments!

1. Tell your friend on the phone, "I'll you back, I have to deal with this little prick in line."
2. Turn and say to him, "Excuse me, I'll have you know that captains of industry, kings of finance, senior government officials, professional athletes, Mr. and Mrs Rob Ford and ED the Sock pay me 300+ an hour to say the same words to them so siss on you pister, you're not so muckin' fuch!
3. As he's on his knees beggin' for forgiveness, you look at the other people and snap your fingers and say, "This is how to deal with men!"
4. Managerial positions in SDM means doesn't have to stock the shelves.
5. If there were any other males in line, you should have said to them, "If anyone had intervened, we'd be on the way to my place on the house!"
6. He stood outside, so what was his big rush? Absolutely Nothing.

Unfortunately, you know how that elderly man felt on the TTC subway, I believe a year ago. As someone else said, you don't know how he would react or if anyone would intervene if it escalated further.

You were dealt a lemon today, so I made you lemonade, hope you get a chuckle from this.

You needed this guy today!

No, I do not work for Campbell's soup!
