Standing in line at Costco - I am the annoying person on their cell phone because seriously I never have time to talk to friends and sometimes multi-tasking is my only chance to catch up with my BFF.

So, I have two items in my hands. Just two. Lines are everywhere and I am behind a woman who easily has $600 worth of bulk product on a pallet. I hear a clerk announce that a new line is open. I am busily chatting with my BFF and I attempt a “quasi” run to the open line, in heels…with my hands full….on the phone…

Out of the corner of my eye I see a lady with a cart and two children in tow heading for the open line. She is focused on being the next person “helped”. Before I can get out of the way, she almost clips me. I fumble a bit and then step back into line behind Pallet Lady. Because I am talking to my BFF and I sometimes forget how loud I talk, the following occurs:

Me: Gosh people are so rude! I only have 2 things! That lady has so much stuff and she just has to be in front of me!

BFF: You should know better than to cross a stay at home mom who is rushing to get home in time to make dinner.

Me: Brutal. People suck.

Pallet Lady: (turns around) You can go in front of me if you need to…

Me (to Pallet Lady): Oh, no! I wasn’t bitching about you - it was the other lady!!!!

BFF: Oh my gosh who are you talking to? Did you just say that OUT LOUD?

Me: Yeah, um, gotta go…am total public jackass right now.
