Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s frisbees
I have a low tolerance for stupid questions and nosy people. I have no idea how I made it through dozens of college classes and neighborhood association meetings all brimming with nosy hand raising dumb question askers.
As you can see this intolerance is not flattering on me. It turns me into a mean sarcastic woman. But mocking those who annoy me brings me great joy.
Tonight I was at Target picking up some items for the company picnic swag bags. I purchased 9 Frisbees, which is only fitting since our company picnic is at the local state park.
As I placed my items on the belt the woman in front of me began fondling my Frisbees.
Ooooh…where did you find these I need some of these for my doggies she said as she groped my stuff. She peered over the rest of my items and began a barrage of questioning that was both nosy and stupid.
What are you going to use all these Frisbees for? Duh. Frisbee.
Annoyed, I answered, I’m going to use them as serving platters for a beach party (I live no wear near a beach).
Ooooh….that’s a brilliant idea. She cooed, still fondling my Frisbees.
Really annoyed, I began thinking of all the answers that I should have given her that would have shut her up instantly.
Here’s the short and highly inappropriate list:

I hate when people start to grope and ask questions about the stuff on the belt - of course they always do it when the kids are at their absolute worst…lol I love your stripper remark though - it really would have shut her up for sure! (Did she ask where you got them? I got that one the other day and couldn’t stop myself from saying “HERE, do you really think I would go out and get them from another store to buy here?)

nothing like a good frisbee fondling to get you in the mood for stripping, that’s what I always say . . .
