my run-in with girlscout mom

[ucmike]

i dropped off a prescription at the local pharmacy this afternoon and had to pass 6-7 girlscouts selling cookies in the foyer of the store, chaperoned by a mom. they asked me-and i use the word loosely it was more of an ambush- to buy cookies which i declined with a pleasant "no thanks, girls" and went about my business.

an hour later, i return to pick up my prescription and they're still there. again they jump up to shill cookies and the mom tells them, "leave him alone girls he was here earlier and said no." i walked in and was about 20' away when i hear the mom turn to the girls and say "he's just unamerican, that's all." i couldn't believe i heard that and turned to face her. she looked at me with a challenging look, but i am a master of the intimidating glare so she immediately turned away and didn't make eye contact again.

i picked up my stuff and left and tried to make eye contact again, but she wanted none of it. i was tempted to give her shit and embarrass her in front of the little capitalists, but decided that was unwarranted and i would never convince anyone i was right if the situation escalated so i let it go.
