Like should the "a" in a lot be capitalized, for example.
I feel like such an ass these days. Several weeks ago H-Man mentioned to me that something he can't stand about me (needless to say this made me feel AMAZING to hear) is that I will do anything to avoid making other people uncomfortable, even if that means making myself inconvenienced. My immediate and intensely reactive response was to explain that being polite was very important as I hate all people who don't think about other people's feelings.Literally, I HATE people who are inconsiderate. Just today I was shopping at a narrow aisled store, I was pushing a cart along with the baby in the basket and selecting different items to buy when I came across an aisle that left much to be considered and evaluated. Several minutes into this aisle I noticed, out of the corner of my eye, a woman pushing her cart behind us . She nudged closer and closer to us. I tried,oh believe me, I tried to pointedly ignore this lady. All she had to do was whisper "excuse me" and I would have leaped out of her way. But she didn't. She kept on nudging her cart against mine until finally, I gave in and retreated momentarily as she breezed past me smiling and said "Thanks!"
Now I feel shitty. I should have held my ground and said, "Fuck you lady, take a different aisle" Well, I should not have said that but instead have insisted that she be polite and humane. But I didn't, because I let assholes walk all over me. I am proud to say that the exception to that rule is when I am encased in my steel cage called a car and I can be passive aggressive without immediate consequence. But of course those consequences are much more life threatening.
