Wal-Mart Rant

Here's where my ugly side comes out. Sorry, but this needs to be said:

When Shopping at Wal-Mart:

If you and your significant other need to use two carts, I beg of you, please do not insist on pushing them side-by-side.

If your baby cries, PICK THEM UP!! Big stores are overwhelming places for little people, even if they’ve been there three times in the last week. Plus, they are probably tired from all the extra shopping going on this time of year. Comforting them may add a few minutes to your shopping time, but the trust you add to your relationship with your little one by responding to them when they need you is priceless.

If you insist on holding your class reunion in the store, please do it someplace other than the center of the aisles. The same rule holds true for family reunions.

Watch your language. This isn’t your living room.

Respect other’s personal space. I don’t like to feel your belly bumping against the back of my jacket while waiting in line. No one will cut in front of you if you give me a little room to breathe.

Keep your little ones with you. Watching unattended children destroy store property fries my cookies. I know, I know, YOUR children would NEVER do anything like that. Well, someone’s is. Why not keep yours with you to be on the safe side.

I don’t care what anyone else says, those shoes with the wheels in the heels should not be used indoors! I tripped over one skater when he whipped in front of me and another one almost knocked me over in his haste to check out the latest video games. And here’s a surprise: Neither of them apologized. Obnoxious.

If you and your children can’t treat others with respect, stay home.

And, PULL UP YOUR PANTS! You look like a toddler with a full diaper. No one should have to look at that. And, while I'm on the subject, when you grab your privates and walk with that weird sway, you look like a three-year-old who needs to go potty. If you want to be treated like a man, ACT like a MAN! Respect yourself enough to present yourself in a positive way to the world.

Rant over. Harumph.
