My encounter with a freeper at Target just a little less than an hour ago

So I'm online at target right behind my girl who is buying some stuff for the couple whose wedding we're going to attend in a few hours.

The cashier is this girl probably some 19-20 year old who is obviously new and she's having a problem scanning I guess what's called the registry-you people who have been married before know what I'm talking about when a couple is getting married they create a registry with items that they want to have and give it to friends and family to get it for them ect and this way "gift receipts" are created easier.

Alright so anyways this lady (if you wanna call her that) is standing by the guy who is behind me she's about 50's I'd say. She starts out loud complaining about the wait just going on "oh my God I switched from two lines to come here cause I thought it'd be quicker!"

I just listened to her go on and on and on for about 5 minutes till she says "Why can't she just go to another line!?" (She was referring to my girlfriend here)

I turned around and said "Cause she started with this cashier they can't halt a transaction in progress like that with just a few strokes it would take much longer cause she has to get a manager, ect"

So for about two seconds that shut her up. I should point out I'm 24 years old here. This woman's old enough to be my mother, but sorry DU elders I never bought into that crap that you should respect your elders no matter what-there's no excuse for acting immature regardless of your age-ESPECIALLY when your age dictates that you should act more mature if anything.

Secondly she was obviously a New Yorker-just like me. A transplant. She also represents why alot of people out here in Arizona hate New Yorkers and well I didn't like her representing all of us like that.

So I said nicely "You know lady we're all in a hurry here, the cashier is working as fast as she can, why don't you cut her a break huh? just relax she's moving as fast as she can."

She says "Well *I* am in a hurry I don't have time for this!"

I said "Well what? you got a patient you gotta operate on in the next few minutes? are you gonna die? is this life or death?"

"Yes!!"

"Oh yea? who?"

"MY life! I could have a stroke any minute!"

At this point everyone else in the line was watching and they all cracked up when she said this.

She then says:

"Why don't you just turn around and look the other way just look the other way!"

"Well Ma'm I'm given you what you wanted. Attention. You wanted it you got it, and what's more I ain't ya husband and I think it's about that time when you need to learn that you're not always gonna get your own way especially using intimidation, okay I expect this kind of behavior from these little kids around here, but c'mon isn't it about time to grow up a little?"

I would've felt bad for the guy in the middle of us if he wasn't giggling so loudly.

So anyways then she says "I'm through with you! (man where have we heard that?!) GOD BLESS YOU! GOD STILL LOVES YOU! I am through with you!"

So then the mess is cleared with my girl, it's my turn, I pay for my items and the cashier at this point trying hard not to laugh but she's smiling pretty big and she says "Would like to sign up for a Target credit card?"

I said "I better not cause Margie over there's gonna have a freakin stroke if I spend one more minute here conversing with you"

To my disbelief the lady actually heard me and said "That's RIGHT!"

As I left I said "Lady if Heaven is full of people like you I can't wait to go to Hell have a nice day!"




Nothing beats a freeper better than public humiliation. NOTHING.




But God Bless You if you think otherwise :)


*FAQ: How does this make her a freeper?


Because only freepers pull this "God Loves You" crap while trying to justify their own greed and their own impatience and their own "ME" attitude when they are not getting their way.

This is from what I have seen. If you know of any non-freepers that in fits of anger when they were in the wrong pulled this "God Bless You but I hate you crap" OUT LOUD in public then let me know. I can picture DU'ers and non-freepers saying alot of shall we say derogatory remarks, but somehow I can't picture our average progressive turning to religion in order to justify why they are good and you are bad.
