I have my handful of stores that give me joy just to walk around in and look . I'm not a big shopper and when I do shop, I make sure one of my favorite stores is included in the shopping rounds.
We found ourselves walking through a store enjoying its music selection. (Hobby Lobby) . Neither one of us were finding anything we were really looking for but we strolled down each aisle pushing our empty carts along just in case we did.
My way was blocked in the middle of one aisle by a woman and her cart. The woman was texting on her cell phone and didn't move aside when she saw me.
"Excuse me", I said. No response or movement.
"Ugh, pardon me". Still no response.
I tapped her on the shoulder and asked, "could I get by you?"
Her reply; "You'll have to wait until I'm done texting here."
I look behind me at my friend to share an indignant glance , and a scowling squint, with lower lip bite. I turn back to deal with the aisle blocker. . . I freakin' don't think so! I shoved Ms. Texter aside with my cart, using it as a plow.
She gives me a LOOK which is no match for mine. It took all of my self control to stop from grabbing her phone and smacking her on the head with it .
I'm not sure what the correct etiquette is for this behavior. I didn't have Emily Posts book handy. Guess I'll write my own!
