Feeling Snarky In My 12's :)

Friday, June 15, 2012

Well I decided since it was raining and I had to do my run on the treadmill which I really dislike that I would wear my infamous 12's as my reward today. While I won't say that they're the perfect fit, I was able to get them up without wiggling or jumping or anything today and my husband (bless his lyin' heart) assured me over and over that they looked fine and great depending on which time I asked him. Feeling pretty good about it! When I gained my weight again this last time I missed them so much, I feel like I've been reuinited with a long-lost friend! We're bonding today.

Anyway about the snarky...I stopped to get a bag of ice at a local small convenience store and as I exited the building a woman was coming across the parking lot as I reached the door so I politely waited about 10 seconds for her to come and to hold the door for her. Because I'm nice like that. She brustled past me and didn't say a word. Now I was raised to be polite at all costs and didn't expect more than a rushed thank you, but she said nothing just walked on by even though I went above and beyond to hold the door for her. As she was about 5 steps away, I said, "You're welcome!" and smiled really really big. She turned and said, "Oh, I didn't say anything." I turned away and said, "Yeah I noticed, but you should have," and kept onna walkin'! I blame the jeans. They give me attitude.

So is this a good development or a bad one? As my bigger self, I do as much as possible to avoid conflict at all costs. I don't want attention! But now, my slightly smaller self has a pretty cocky voice at times apparently! Quite honestly, I surprised myself when I said it. It's something I would normally just think in my head and not do anything about, but today it just came out. Maybe it's confidence? Maybe I better shut it before I get beat up? I don't know but I'm just going with it today!

Remember your manners, people! I'm out there and I will call you out!!!

    Whoa! I cannot believe that woman had the nerve to say " I didn't say anything". One of the many correct answers to that would have been "Oh thank you! I'm sorry, was in such a hurry I forgot to say thank you!"

ugh. People.

congrats on the 12's though!

    LOL! i love it!!! I woulda done the same thing!

Yesterday at the grocery store, a man backed his grocery cart into mea nd rolled it over my foot- he didn't even LOOK at me. So I said outloud, "Excuse YOU." and stared him down. He didn't even look back at me!!!! I was secretly hoping I'd run into him in the parking lot so that I could go off on him! Must be in the water?LOL

    First of all, congrats on being re-united with an old friend! How AWESOME is this!
Second, good for you for calling that person out. What effort does it take to say "Thank you" or "thanks?" I am surprised at her retort to you when you said you are welcome. One would think that such a statement would have "shamed" one to mumble a thank you and an excuse why it was not said earlier! Oh well, one hopes that she thinks about this exchange and comes to the right decision down the line.

Keep on being vigilant Melissa!
