meanness poorly disguised as helpfulness
Today I was shopping at The Gap, looking through the sale tops on a top rack. A girl came right up and put her arm in front of my face and looked through the tops I was looking at. I laughed because it was ludicrous and said "I hope I'm not in your way!" She said "Yeah, actually...I'll just get over here" and she went to my left side and stuck her arm in my face again. I said "Oh yeah, I definitely prefer your right elbow". She looked at me like what are you talking about, looked me up and down, then said "Oh I'm sorry" with that dead goat eye look they give you when you call them on something. I said "Well maybe you shouldn't do it anymore". She just continued to look through the tops to my left.
Before that, I was going in a revolving door and a woman coming out saw me but shoved the door from the inside anyway, knocking me sideways between the front and revolving door. I said "WTF?" She said with that smug look as she had never taken her eyes off me "Oh are you ok?" I said "Yes, luckily I am. She continued to stare at me with the dead goat eyes.
I was at McD's drive-thru on Friday morning, and the girl told me to pull up and wait for my iced mocha, so I pulled up 2 or 3 car lengths, LOTS of room, and even turned on my flashers. I was sitting there half awake when someone honked loud at me and pinned me so I couldn't have backed up anyway. I looked back at her, a blonde beauty queen, and she shouted at me why didn't I get out of the way. I said "Can you see my blinkers or are you blind?" She pulled up along side of me and turned fully around and said "You shouldn't be eating this food! You shouldn't be eating this food." Then she looked SO satisfied, so peaceful, a serene seattle smile on her face, knowing she'd said JUST the right thing, as if she'd told me helpfully that my brakelight was out or something to help. Her brand new car, her neat blonde ponytail and swan-like neck, oh what a perfect beauty, eh? I suddenly felt berserk, like I snapped, and I even turned my wheel fast, I might have rammed the side of her car, I was almost there. But the little girl had my iced mocha and was between me and the side of the building, and I would have hit her if I'd pulled out. It saved me. The girl was so sad when I told her what happened. I started sobbing immediately, feeling helpless. I cried all the way to work.
