Scrap In Aisle Three!!

I went to Wal-mart today. Yup, seven days before Christmas, and I stepped into the zoo. I was prepared to get what I needed and get out, and so I didn't even get a cart at first.

I found what I wanted behind an empty cart. Once I had it, an older lady took up the cart and started to ask me about the item I had in my hand. We were having a nice chat when an older (and apparently crabbier) lady asked the nice lady if she had taken the crabby lady's cart. The nice lady politely said no--it was her cart. Crabby lady then accused nice lady of stealing the cart! Let me remind you that it was empty! I sort of just stood there for a moment, and then smiled at the nice lady and left.

Anyhoo, the store wasn't that busy, and there was a whole line of empty carts just two aisles away at the door. I don't know who got the cart in the end, but I saw crabby lady a few minutes later AGAIN wandering away from her EMPTY cart to look at something.

Here is a clip from Coronation street that shows if you're going to be a crabby old lady, the least you can do is be sarcastic and funny about it!!

The crabby lady appears at about 0:44, and she absolutely cracks me up in this scene.
