I just got back from the grocery store w/ DD, and had three separate instances of crazy people. Luckily I'm super relaxed about this type of thing and none of them upset me, but I'm still shaking my head at what people think is okay....
1. A woman comments on DD's red hair. Says how sweet it is, and asks if my DH has red hair (since I obviously don't). I reply no, then hear a voice behind me (someone not involved in the conversation) say "well you know who does? The mailman! Oh yeah, the mailman definitely has red hair!" Seriously? Maybe a friend can joke like that, but random person in the store? Rude.
2. Woman walks up to me and DD (I'm wearing her), and says "oh my goodness, so sweet, but why aren't you wearing socks?" She then grabs DD's foot w/o asking if she can touch her, squeezes it, and says "oh my you poor thing, your foot is frozen!" and walks off shaking her head. Ok lady -- #1, don't touch my kid. #2, it's 80 degrees outside today, and #3, you're crazy, b/c her feet are completely warm right now.
3. I walk out of the store w/ my very full shopping cart. Before I've even loaded the first bag, a car pulls up and stops w/ their blinker, waiting for my spot. Now, I got a good spot today. But there are two open spots literally *4* spots down!!! So she sits there and watches me unload my bags one at a time (hard to do more while wearing DD)....then when I go to return my cart to the corrale (b/c I'm not leaving it sitting out just 'cause someone is waiting) she gives me the rudest most annoyed expression ever -- she's obviously annoyed it's taking so long. And she still has to wait for me to take DD off and get her strapped into the car seat. Seriously? When there's a spot only 4 spots further down?
Most exciting trip I've had to the store in awhile!
