So, I've been called a bitch twice in the space of a week by people I don't know. [View All]

First time was in a parking structure in downtown Seattle. I had driven around for 20 minutes trying to find a place to park, and finally saw a place that wasn't full (could not find any street parking). There were two openings in the building, one saying ENTRANCE, the other saying EXIT. I pulled into the ENTRANCE, and there was a sign saying "All cars stop here." I did. There was a car to my left, and a guy standing outside the car. He looked at me and I thought he nodded, so I thought, okay, guess I can continue. I start up the ramp, and this car comes DOWN the ramp. There is no room for two cars to pass each other. I got out of my car, and told the driver he was going the wrong way. He yelled at me, "This is the way out, BITCH!" I was so taken aback (not to mention the fact that I was close to being late for an appointment), that I told him to go fuck himself. He really started yelling at me, and another guy (who had been in the car that had been to my left at the entrance), came over and told the guy to chill out and leave me alone. Then he explained that it was valet parking, and apologized that he had not been at the entrance when I drove in (the other guy turned out to be a customer). I wish there had been a sign saying it was valet parking. Sigh.

Then, earlier today, I went to the grocery store, then to the liquor store next to that. I was 3rd in line. The woman ahead of me was talking on her cell phone, right in front of the sign that tells people to NOT talk on their phones when it was their turn to be waited on. Since it wasn't yet this woman's turn, it was no biggie that she was on her phone, but when it was, she kept flapping her gums on the phone. The clerk very politely told her that she could not wait on her while she was on the phone. At first, the woman told whomever she was talking to that she needed to hang up, because she was at the checkout counter. BUT SHE DIDN'T HANG UP. So, the clerk told her that she was going to to ahead and wait on me while the woman finished her phone call. The woman got all huffy, and said, very loudly and very rudely, "NO YOU WILL NOT!!!!"

The clerk and I were both taken aback, as was the clerk working the stand next to the one I was at. The woman's attitude pissed me off, and I said, "Then why don't you get off the phone so the rest of us can get on with it?" Her response to me, "Shut up, BITCH. I'M being waited on right now!" (She was still on the phone while she was insulting me and being rude to the clerk.). So I said, "Then get off the damned phone!" (That could potentially have had bad consequences for me, as this woman was about 3 times my size.....but I was really angry by that time.)

The clerk at the other stand called me over to her register to wait on me, and said, "You don't deserve to be treated like that." She rang me up, and by that time, The Bitch Queen was gone. The other clerk apologized to me for how the woman had treated me, but I said not to worry because it wasn't her fault.

What in the hell is wrong with people? They are in the wrong, but they cuss other people out and call them names when they are called on their bad behavior?? :eyes:
