You know what really grinds my gears – the ignorant ladies that I came across these last few days. So ignorant in fact, I may have to space out my blog posts.
First, there is the original ‘ignorant old lady’ (from previous posts) who I used to see at the bus stop everyday until I decided to take great lengths to avoid the b’yotch. You know, the one who always has to be first on the bus and off despite the long queue of people who arrived at the bus’s door first?
She just irked me so much that I actually decided to wake up sooner, leave the house earlier, walk the ten minutes in the opposite direction just so I could catch the bus at the mall and not have to wait at the stop with her. If I’m running a little behind I still catch the bus at the mall and would rather be late for work and thus have to stay late at work to make up the time then deal with that damn broad at the stop.
We are still on the same bus together but she usually just passes me and chooses someone at the back of the bus to irritate. Yesterday morning, however, I was not so lucky. The bus had less people than usual and I was sitting in my typical seat at the front of the bus, farthest from the heat, on a three-seater bench. Let’s say I’m in seat #1 for simplicity.
Ignorant Old Lady gets on the bus and sits in seat #3 on my bench. The part that starts the grinds my gears rant is when she decided to place her two bags on the seat between us (seat #2). I guess her enormous Mary Poppins bag deserves a seat on it’s own and can’t go on her lap like everybody else. Heaven forbid she put it on the floor in front of her or under her seat. Heck no!
Not one but BOTH of her silly bags have to be on the seat between us. AND bag #2 is resting nicely against MY lap. Well the Ignorant Old Lady recognizes this and moves her hand on top of the plastic bag, which I can only assume is her lunch. I believe this is her way of telling me that she does not want me to steal her valuable plastic bagged meal.
In case I didn’t understand this small gesture, she makes it more obvious by picking up the plastic lunch bag, tying it, and placing it BACK on the seat STILL touching my lap.
Her lunch is safe now, right? No! Even after knotting her bag she feels that I will steal it so she decides to store it safely inside her Mary Poppins bag. Well that’s good, it’s no longer touching me. But given that Mary Poppins bag is still on seat #2, the lunch is still within my grasp. Well Ignorant Old Lady must be on to my clever tricks, so she locks her arm through the handle of her bag and clenches on for dear life.
Alas, NOW her lunch is safe. Surely I won’t be able to take it from her. Oh sigh, this is still not enough for the old broad. She turns her body completely to face the front of the bus (and myself) and guard her bag with all her might. She crosses one leg over the next and starts to do this ridiculous twitchy thing which leads me to believe she’s practicing for the doctor’s reflex test.
Now that she’s kicking me I’ll leave her lunch alone. You know? A normal person would put their bag on their lap if they were so concerned for its contents. But Ignorant Old Lady who has no consideration for others or awareness of her surroundings would rather go to these lengths to PISS ME OFF!
