Have you heard that fable about the man in the supermarket pushing his cart around and shopping, all the while talking as loud as he could into his cell phone? Was it to be a cautionary tale? A "don't be this fuckin' guy" story? Well I'm sure you Lovely List Members know of it and heed its warning.

I came across a guy at the Von's yesterday who either did not know the story or didn't give a damn because I could first hear him across the goddang PARKING LOT before entering the store and then proceeding to jabber away at top volume while walking the aisles. It was nuts. It was truly one of those, "hey, that's the Poster Boy of (whatever)" moments. He was the Poster Boy of Supremely Obnoxious yet Oblivious Loud-Talking Cell Phone Guys. He had a little toehead kid in his cart and he ignored the shit out of him. The kid smiled at me while I was wincing a "shut the fuck UPPPP you jerk"-look at his papa. That made me even more irritated.

At checkout, the gal asked if I found everything I was looking for okay. I said yep. She then asked how my day was going. I said it was just fine, but that guy screaming into his phone (who could still be heard) seriously bummed me out. She said she didn't even notice those jerks anymore. Lucky grrrrrrl.
