Default To the woman giving out hate for free today at Target:

Just because you *have* an opinion, doesn't mean you have to FOLLOW a mom into the restroom and ask why her daughter is not in school today. When the mom actually took the time to explain to this stranger that her daughter had an eye appointment, the hateful woman starts going on and on...

"Well, that's okay then. I see WAY too many kids out of school for no reason. I am an ex-teacher and I can tell a school age child. And it just makes me so angry."

When the other mom continued to indulge her with "Well, maybe they homeschool" the hateful woman is just egged on. "Oh, don't even get me started. That is the worst of the worst. There are too many other options like private school or parochial school then to do something like that."

And I am there, with my homeschooled DS trying to get out of our stall fast enough to share MY unsolicited opinion. I could not believe the nerve of this woman! I didn't make it out fast enough - she was walking out as I came out and I said "Oh goodness, someone throwing hate at Target" but she either ignored me or didn't hear me. I am still sooooo angry! And so relieved that myself and my kids never had her for a teacher!!!

I can't believe the other mama was so calm. I would have been furious. What business of it is hers??

Wow, mean AND self-righteous. My least favorite combination.

How crazy of that woman to chase that other woman into the bathroom to ask such a question. Let's all be thankful that she is an EX teacher.

Never argue with an idiot. He'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

Sounds like a good time to ask if the child came out of her vagina? Because why else would she think it's her business.

I would have loved to see the look on her face.

Crazy is probably why she is an ex-teacher.
