Back again. Bit of a strange one today as there was only a handful of people in Tesco, Boots and M&S today. But there was the usual folk standing in the middle of a narrow aisle gossiping. Asked one of the people if I could squeeze past them and they gave me the filtiest look that I've seen in years.
So I asked them what I had done to warrant the look and she said "We were having a conversation and you just go barging past us". Letting out a big sigh and told her "I didn't go 'barging' past you, I asked if I could squeeze past, which meant that you only had to move a wee inch or so, so I could get by". She then bitched at me saying "You've got no fucking manners", so I finally said to her "If you want to bloody-well socialise, then there's a pub across the road", and in a defensive tone DD piped up "Don't you dare speak to my mummy like that you ignorant person" 
.
I was trying not to laugh and I could see that the rest of her group were trying not to as well. One of her group eventually pointed out that she was being rather nasty, which was unwarranted. She shot a filthy look at the person, but I didn't wait around to get more dog's abuse.
Ah well, the joys of post-Christmas sales . Luckily I had dynamite DD with me. I have to admit, DD has the patience of a saint, but even at 6yo, she can verbally slap down anyone who crosses her.
