Totally Obnoxious Individual
Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:59 pm
As you may all well know, I am sentenced to the use of crutches and/or a power scooter. Since this sentence began, I have noticed that shoppers of a particular chain of retail establishments that begins with the letter "W" are completely oblivious to their fellow shoppers and surrounding environment.
I'm 6'2" (1.88m) tall, not exactly inconspicuous. Yet, people are so wrapped up in their shopping that they don't even see me! When I'm in the scooter, obviously, I'm shorter still and even less visible. Yesterday, while shopping, I was almost hit by two other shoppers whose heads were up and locked.
The end of my excursion was crowned by this individual who, for lack of a better term, was an anencephalic troglodyte. This fool had his cell phone glued to his head and was seeing nothing but what was straight ahead. He cut me off as I was exiting the store. I raised my voice and said, quite loudly, "Excuse me!" This caused him to interrupt his "very important" conversation and upset him greatly. I also told him that he should watch where he was going. He responded with a string of non-imaginative invectives, demonstrating his "quality" education and told me to mind my own "****ing" business. I can use those words, too, but my command is much better than his. He responded that I'd better be careful or he'd break my "other ****ing leg."
Do we really need people like this on this planet?
