Excuse Me

Todays lunch: Wendy's

Todays headache: Michael Moore look-alike in line ahead of me, talking on his cell phone.

Now, I don't generally have a problem with cell phones - talk all you want as long as you don't mess with me. So this guy is yapping away and gets to the counter and I hear him say, "hang on a second" and I think he means whoever is on the other end of the line. Nope, he means the cashier - which also means those of us in line behind him.

I am just about to jump in front of him when someone else does to get a refill - which doesn't bug me so much, no big deal really. Then he turns to me and says "sorry for just barging in like that, that was rude"

And I say "no problem, apparently I have to wait for him to finish his conversation to place my order"

Michael Moore look-alike moves to the side to finish his convo.

God those people drive me nuts. But you know me. I run my mouth and ask them (tell them) to move until they're done.

Gurrrrrrrrrllll you just know I would have been going ape shit over that since it is no secret how I feel about cell phones.

I'm afraid I would have followed Rachel & Lori's lead and said something really rude while my husband kicked me to tell me to hush. As I get older, I get less patient.

How do you know it wasn't Michael Moore?

Should have kicked him in the balls just for practice.

It could've been him - except that I just saw MM on Jay Leno's show and he had bathed. and shaved. and was wearing a suit.

This guy was lookin' like MM in at his slovenly worst.
