I’m not generally one to rock the boat or cause a fuss. I’m
content to go with the flow and unless necessary just leave others be to their
devices.
As some of you know the other week as I walked past some
smug young girls I overheard one of them not so quietly say “Thank God I am not
as fat as her.” Normally I would just keep walking and not stoop to their low
level. Instead I turned around, took a step closer and whilst puffing my
peacock like chest loudly said “Thank God I’m not as ugly as your soul clearly
is.” As I promptly and proudly walked off some people clapped and I felt
victorious.
Once again whilst out yesterday I overheard a comment that
propelled me into an almost Pulp Fiction style beg for forgiveness you pitiful
person situation. The comment from a middle aged woman “That’s disgusting that
she’s out without covering that head of hers. I can’t even look at her without
feeling sick, she should be ashamed.” It was in reference to a woman whom since
I don’t actually know, can only assume is undergoing some kind of medical
treatment that makes her look like death warmed up and has caused her hair to
fall out. Instantly reaching boiling point I could not contain the angry barrage
that flowed from my mouth at her. I mean
seriously if shame should be inferred in anyone’s direction it is clearly hers.
I asked her how she could come out without her disgusting mouth in check since it’s
clearly a detriment to all of society. Once started though there was no
stopping me and she bore the full brunt of my outrage in dumbfounded open
mouthed silence. A crowd started to form in curiosity and the woman headed to
the car park. I was left defending my actions it is true but still felt vilified
in my actions and will not apologize for them nor feel that I was too cruel to
that woman despite some of the onlookers comments.
Continuing into the supermarket I was again confronted with
a scene of complete lack of respect. At the checkout where I was waiting to pay
for my groceries the man in front of me went off his head at the youngish
checkout girl for putting his meat in the same bag as his milk. Even though she
politely apologized and rectified the issue, he continued to abuse her. So much
so that the young girl was in fact in tears and he still didn’t look like
stopping. Of course management were nowhere to be seen so for reasons unknown
to me I stepped in and stuck up for the girl. It was of course not very successful
since the man then just directed his anger at me, although I didn’t actually
raise my voice to him or even say anything remotely cruel to him. I merely
pointed out the problem was fixed, the girl apologized and now since she’s
crying perhaps he should calm down. He did his best to engage me in an argument
but I didn’t take his bait. Finally he paid for his groceries, made some
threats and left. I really don’t know what is wrong with people lately.
Watch out universe, Emma is on a rampage……… err power trip
:P
Well done Emma. Hopefully you will have made a difference and these people might, at the very least, think about what they say before they open their dumb ass mouths again in the future.... Nice work for having the courage to stick up these bullies
