I had a variation of this recently. At Walmart, a nice lady with a bunch of stuff invited me to go ahead of her becuase I had on a couple items. I graciously accepted. But, there was another guy behind me that had on a couple of things too, so she let him go ahead as well. Theeeeeen, yet another person was behind her with few items, she let him/her go ahead. All three of us said to her that she will never get out of here if she keeps acting like that.

I think she may still be there.

Well, yeah, but hey, not only did I get to read the entire new issue of The National Enquirer, I got to finish The Globe, too.

I don't usually like to answer a question with another question, but here I have to ask, why be interolent or unaccepting and create a problem that doesn't yet exist?

I'm not saying that you are basicly wrong in what you've said, but people are human and people will be people, but being grumpy in and of itself is not really a problem except for the grumps themselves. Besides, I can think of a number of reasons that can be causing one's grumpieness, mood or their need to "rush" if you will, and I'm not about to make what might be unfair judgement about them or make what seems to be their already miserable day even more miserable!

I think she was still there when I was there this morning!

I always feel I need to defend myself when posting on Talk of The Villages for one reason or another( reason I rarely post anymore) because someone has taken things out of context. So here it goes:
"Grumpy" is a term I use to discribe someone who is miserible--and there are a few I have met down here. No matter what, they don't like it here and will be the first to tell you everything that is wrong with the place They usually demonstrate rude behavior to justify why they are unhappy.

As for "being retired" and "what's the rush". Stop and smell the roses so to speak. You worked hard all your life to get to this point to enjoy whats around you, and, we all know many who didn't make it. Relax.
There are no deadlines that must be met. Enjoy life--you earned it.

No more comments please, and I finally had enough. Signing off.

Wishing everyone well. Enjoy The Villages, its the best place ever.

Oh Peggy, please don't go.

Sometimes people just comment on a post, not to disagree.

I like to hear what you have to say.:wave:

A lot of times, my mind is changed by someone who doesn't look at things the same way I do. And a lot of times it isn't. But I think about it anyway...

We are all important on here. Your comments are well taken...and taken into my heart.

Some of 'these' type of people best start realizing their day may come - they are not able to avoid the outcome of life.

Good luck with 'The Friends of TV'

I'm sorry that you feel that you need to defend yourself, however I don't for the life of me understand that need. You simply expressed your opinion, I didn't fully agree with all you stated, and in response I simply expressed mine without making it a personal attack or attempt to embarass you. By your reaction to my posting, you're making it sound like you feel that you have a right to express your opinions, but others don't have that same right to express theirs in response if they have a different point of view! I certainly hope that this is not the case. There is already too much of that sort of thing going on today with several news agencies and biased bloggers.

BTW, if you go back to your original posting I responded to, you will find that I was in actuallity answering the very question you posed at the end of your post. Nothing more! So why react negatively to my merely doing what you had definitely asked for in the first place???

:D
