A character flaw I own - I'm too old to deal with, Example of which. I am in line at grocers. Cart all bellied up to the bar. i even have a conversation with the cashier who ( though her light was not turned on) assured me she would take my custom. Lo- in from the west sweeps a tarted up botox queen I mark down in my mental file cabinet as a realtor (God Jesus). The hair - lacquered and red - the nails lacquered and red - the age?- the age which one goes in to realty. 60 trying to pass for 35. Anyway as i am parceling out the chops on the conveyor belt she plunks down her yogurt and storebought submarine sandwich along with her depends right in front of moi. I say &quot;do you not see me or my purchases&quot; &quot; No&quot; - says she. &quot; I'm in a hurry, i have an appointment.&quot; I am seriously atwitter - can't deal with it. The outrage is insupportable. Her life is so much more important than mine. I finally say - and this is such a step for timid me - I'm sorry, you are going to miss your appointment - and i started putting my crap in front of her crap. She muttered something abotu her appointment was in 5 min. and i said - well you won't make it now you shouldn't have left it so late. All she had to say was can i go in front of you? Yes http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/3rd-chapter#post-61806 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:36:38 +0000 Maxx England 61806@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I just write my stuff, if someone says nice things then yes, I do get a kick out of it, if it gets ignored or knocked, well, fine, it's not that important.<br /> <br /> You just carry on having fun with words. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/3rd-chapter#post-61529 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 03:37:23 +0000 diane tigue 61529@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Scribblings, I find, is a particularly sere arena. I don't fink anyone cares about our little doodling and scribing. i shall henceforth eschew the category. One calls to mind Dorothy Parker entering an elevator - Pearls before swine. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/3rd-chapter#post-59114 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 18:51:47 +0000 diane tigue 59114@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ [img]<img src="http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk93/papertiguer/cartoon-now.jpg" alt="" />[/img]
