Tons of things to blog about
But I'll start with last Thursday. I had to change planes on my way home from Boston at Chicago, Midway. Flying Southwest, I was in the "A" line, patiently waiting to board.
As sometimes happens, the gate changed. I bent over to pick up my backpack and I was very nearly knocked over by this guy - who shoved me out of his way so he could be ahead of me in the line at the new gate.
I called him out on it - when I recovered my balance and ended up just a few people behind this absolute jerk, I said, rather loudly, " So, do you get a big kick out of pushing 52 year-old women around?".
For some odd reason, he didn't reply, and refused to turn around.

Probably one of those sensitive "progressives".

Hey! He looks just like one of those gluteal cavities, with sharp elbows and dull heads, that barge themselves at Customs.

Looks like a putz.

Well, young lady, I see that I'm older than you. Does this mean that you'll wave me ahead if we meet in line, or should I bring my walker, to make sure of precedence?

Jim: Probably one of those sensitive "progressives".
That was really uncalled for.
Beth: Sorry, there are just jerks in the world regardless of party affiliation.

He is a sphincter muscle. And he looks all uptight...oh don't get me started.

Mess with a Camera-Totin' Blogger at your own peril.
I recall a case recently where a guy on the NY subway exposed himself...a blogger with a camera phone took a picture and posted it, and the guy was identified and busted within a couple of days. Harh!
