Well my redneck would have come out & my 1st thought was you "B" what do you care what I do with it. You should have told her some weird thing like you were gonna drap the horse stalls with it or cover the deer stand. That would have wigged her out. She is probably a little manic. Sounds like my psycho sister sometimes. There are all kinds of nut jobs in the crazy world. You just got one on this day.

And if she continued to not take her medicine, sooner or later she would wind up either in jail for assault, or under constant supervision in one kind of health care facility or another.
I hope your boss pursued a warrant for her arrest to get her off the streets on an immediate basis.

Then she pointed at my buggy and said "What are you making with those?"
I told her I didn't know. She said "Oh, you're one of THOSE!"
She walked around to the other side of the table and said "What are you going to do with all that fabric when you die?" Then she said "I'm donating mine to the seniors that sew. I haven't put it in writing yet, but that's what I'm going to do."
Here comes the wierd part -- I was walking down the center aisle, and she was standing in one the short aisles, and when I passed, she said "Humph, she's got 2 bolts of fabric and doesn't even know what she's going to do with it!"
OMG - what a wack-o! I told the ladies at the cutting counter when I finally went up there, with many more than 2 bolts! - and they were shocked. Told me I should have come to one of them when it happened. Said they don't people in there like that making their customers uncomfortable.
Makes me wanna go running back in there! lol

Besides, you are planning for the future... you never know when you will need that exact fabric for a project.

People are strange.. I try to be nice to them because I may end up there myself! We just don't know what's coming, so indulge the poor grumpy people out there and don't ever let it bother you.. Most people that are not quite right seem to be on the grumpy side rather than getting sweeter..

They were standing in line to pay for it when another woman came up & demanded that they share what they had with her. They told her that they made quilts to donate to injured service men & women, and that they needed it all. The other woman was furious & told them in no uncertained terms as she huffed off. Myself & the others in line were standing there with our mouths opened. I agree with you that there are some strange people out there!!!

Also, I tell people that if nothing else, I will take it out to pet it. I also might have been responsive to her and not rude. After all, that may simply be her style and heaven knows, I do have my own style!
