Quit Bumpin' My Butt!!!

[BARGINSHOPS]

Ugh, I just got back from walmart and the lady behind me in line had her 5 kids with her. If it wasn't her kids bumpin into me it was her bumpin me with the cart OR BOTH! I checked back a few times to see what was going on and she NEVER even said sorry. Why do people need to stand so close to you in line? its not going to make the cashier move any faster. And to top it off one of her kids kept coming over and jumping on my cart! And she never told him to stop! Who in the world lets their kids run a muck like that? How embarassing!

I have grabbed some Infants Tylenol because it was marked $4 in a clearance section and it rang up regular price so someone had to go check the price (like I was lying, lol). By the time they came back to tell the cashier that they were infact $4 all my other items were rung up so they did an override and I paid. As I walked away she pushed the cart into my back side again and said "about F%&$ing Time!" I tried being patient the 8 times I got bumped into but that was the last draw as I turned around and realized the last bump was on purpose I called her a not so nice name.
Not that I am proud of that last part but my god! Seriously why is it my fault that she felt the need to take 5 kids to walmart (of all places) the night before a holiday weekend? And does she really think its my fault they had to do a price check? I'm sorry but someone had to tell her like it is. I'm even more sorry I only did it with one word.

I know my "good bye" behavior was very wrong but I couldn't take it anymore it was like a family of animals behind me. Would anyone else be upset by this?

This is EXACTLY why I don't shop at Wal Mart. Love the prices, hate the atmosphere. But, there are rude people everywhere.:shrug7:

Some people are so rude!! I would be irritated too. Last week I was at the grocery and some lady was huffing and puffing behind me because I had a lot of coupons. I felt bad for the cashier, she was a very nice older lady who I could tell was getting upset by the rude person behind me and she was trying to hurry as fast as she could.

I have to continually tell my daughter (she's 11) "Don't crowd!" Or "Don't be pushy". She seems to like to go stand on top of the person in front of us, or right up behind them. I can't seem to get it through her head that that's rude.

But yeah, I wouldn't have been so "polite". After the first two or three times, I would have already have said something. Not to mention telling the kid to get off my cart. But I can be mouthy. I'm getting old and don't care what people think about me. Not that I ever did. lol

Ugh, I feel your pain completely - that drives me crazy. :hectic1:

I love to use the self scan machines at a couple different grocery stores and it seems to be really bad there as well. One day last week, there was a man behind me and he just kept pushing his cart closer and closer so I finally turned around and smiled sweetly while I said "gosh, I'm sorry, I'm going just as fast as I can!" The doofus didn't even get it - he replied "oh, you're fine, take your time." I wanted to scream "I was being sarcastic - get OFF me!" but my son was with me and I was trying to set a good example!

OP - I would've probably said the same thing if someone intentionally did it like that, um, "lady" did to you.

I don't think the issue is taking her 5 kids to Walmart on a holiday weekend. I have 5 kids and we are heading to Walmart tonight as a family to get some stuff we need for the 4th. But I would not tolerate my kids acting up in the store. The issue seems more like a rude mother who has taught her kids to not respect others personal space.

I have had someone like that behind me in line too and they were lucky that the cart did not end up in their teeth. LOL

This is one of my pet peeves.

People to close to you while you are cashing out.

I always give them a distance. You have gone to far for me if your are at the little table/credit card swiper. Too close while I am signing a check. Too close when I am digging in my bag.

Have some manners please. I am not in your business.

And I tell them, "Can you move back a bit, please."

[PraiseAdonai]

As for what you did.

Well, as for me, I would of reacted not nice to this women and her kids.

Its worse when its ADULTS who stand right next to you while putting your Items on the Band, and then right next to you while you cash out.

I told this Woman 2 times, exuse me because I could not even get MY stuff on the counter cause she was IN MY way. Then when I was using my Debit she was right there, and I again asked her" exsuse me could you just back a bit so I can finish!"
SHE told me " Jesus &^&@*^#&*@^ Christ Like I would steal from you or want what you have,,,,,, I have more MONEY then you anyway" I Guess she asumed I was dirtpoor cause I did Coupons, maybe she needs a reality check just because you use coupon dont mean your POOR.

I think there should be a LINE on the floor where you have to wait just like at the Bank!

There is a voice in my head that is telling me that I would have felt sorry for her, maybe she had a long day, yada yada yada. Then there is another voice in my head saying, "yeah, right--you would have told her to shove it and used several expletives in the process." Second voice wins. I am so sick and tired of rude people. I feel the same way as OP though--a little twinge of guilt if I bite back or make a gesture out of frustration. My kids know that people have a comfort zone (or personal space). They know not to come within 3 feet of someone in a line or anywhere else for that matter without express permission from that person. Like if someone is standing in front of a product that you want to grab--you say pardon me and when they acknowledge it, then you can move closer. Bumping with the cart is completely unacceptable. Some kid rammed a cart into my back once and it hurt for days. I would be mortified if one of my kids bumped someone--even on accident. The fact that a grown woman did that to you on purpose is just scary--sounds like she has major anger management issues.
