Rude people suck

There are few things that I hate more than self important people who think that their time is more valuable than anyone else's. These morons are often so blinded by their sense of entitlement that they don't even realize that they're being rude. I am not usually deliberately rude, and it irks the hell out of me when people are inconsiderate.

I was in CVS this morning picking up a couple of prescriptions. I didn't have my CVS card with me, so I asked the cashier if she could just look up my telephone number to find my account. She tried the number three times without success, so I asked if I could just sign up for a new card. The whole time that I was at the counter, I could tell that the woman behind me was getting impatient, but I didn't care. Then this broad had the nerve to ask the cashier "Can she just use my card? Because I am in a huge rush." I didn't say anything, so the cashier asked me if I wanted to use this stranger's card, and I said, "No. I don't want my purchases going on her account." I didn't even bother turning around to acknowledge this nervy broad.

I don't know what would make her think that I gave a damn about her time constraints since I was in line first. And I was really taken aback by her condescending tone like she just knew that I would go along with it. This wasn't about doing me a favor, this broad wanted me to get out of her way. The cashier was all flustered like she didn't know what to do, but all I knew was that this woman was going to have to wait her turn.

Long story short, someone else came over to help me while the original cashier stepped over to the next register to help impatient Sally. And wouldn't you know it, there were problems that held up her transaction. She still wound up waiting and got out of the store maybe two minutes before I did.

After Sally left, the cashier said she thought the other customer was rude but decided to ask me in case I wanted to accept her offer. I told her that it was fine because I was not in a rush, and life is too short to be obnoxious. Now the old me would have cussed this chick out, but I am mellowing in my old age. I was all too happy to let this old jerk look like a fool all by herself.
