Someone told me to go back where I came from today. But I got the last laugh. [View all]
Some woman took issue with my mask in Kroger. Behind me making all kinds of snide comments. I was just going to ignore it, get my stuff paid for and leave. She moved on to "I don't know why they can't just come in senior hour so we don't have to see them." WHAT THE WHAT????
Well that lit me. I turned around and said "Ma'am, I'm not doing anything that affects you in the least." Which of course set her off like Mt. St. Helens and ending with. "This is America and you people aren't going to stop us. If you don't like it here just go back to whatever shithole country you came from." I couldn't help it... I involuntarily bust out laughing.
Paid for my stuff. Started to go.. still giggling like a maniac under the mask. Should have just left. But no... I turned back to her and said. "Ma'am. You ought to know... I'm 5th generation Kentucky farm girl. I'm about as American as you'll ever see. But you are right, the current president is indeed turning us into a shithole country. All these flaming racist just need to crawl back under whatever rock they came out of and stay there." Well, I'm sure that's word for word, but it's close.
It isn't like me to create a scene. I'll about tie myself into knots to avoid a fight usually. But I've had it. My hackles were up pretty good. I guess I was louder than I thought. People in other lanes clapped... and some lady caught up with me to shake my hand.
2 hours later and I'm still pretty wound up. These idiots are just beyond awful. I mean this one was hateful on immigrants (why she thought I was is a mystery), masks, old people all in one. I was just standing there waiting my turn. Not bothering a soul and she starts up.
And still, I'm not sure if it's more annoying or hysterically funny.
