saul... nope... fine for you and me but me mum don't need rudeness at the shops at 84 years old. She is civil and she needs that from others at her "age". "Small"? Nope.

Sorry to harp on my pet peeve but I, and you, all of us, are gonna be old eventually and I think we should expect good manners from other people. Respect for everyone is "civility and consideration for our fellow travelers on this short trip called "life.""

I was waiting for my turn to look at the sirloin tip roasts on sale for $2.49 a pound today behind three women jostling to get at them. Two more women walked in front of me and tried to get at the roasts. I said, "Fuckin unreal." in a low voice and started away and an old lad obviously waiting off to the side with a shopping cart chuckled and said, "You need to bring your wife when there's a sale on." Obviously a wise man with years of experience in grocery combat.
