My DH has a saying when people act like that....only I can't repeat it here. Has anyone noticed the incidences of road rage has increased since all those latte/frappacino/expensive coffee places opened up in little buildings all over town???? COFFEE is the fault!!!!!

OP - I went to Hancocks and felt the same thing. But then, I've never liked the Hancocks here.... ;-)

All of the quilters that I have met have been really sweet. They are amazed that a guy quilts and then when we start talking machines they are amazed that I only use treadle machines.

Before I know it there are several women fawning over me and helping pick fabric out for me and showing me "cute" patterns.......Damn I love quilting!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I'm sorry your time at Hancock was so disappointing. That rude quilter was just so sad. Thank goodness they are few and far between.

Oh my gosh Billy! I almost spit out my mouthful of chips.

Hmm, wonder what the name of that new surgery is? I will have to ask my medical class next week if anyone knows.

Give me time and I will come up with a name.

You just have to accept that there are some very angry and bitter people out in the world. I try to feel pity and sorry for them, rather than let it get to me. Some folks really need to change their lives because the current one is NOT working for them!
Candace I have always said that if I knew I had one day left to live, I would take a big truck out and teach rude drivers good lessons. Admit it, didn't you REALLY want to slam on the breaks and mess up her front end?
You know, if I were really angry the thought would have crossed my mind. But the irrational venom spewing from this woman made me think she was mentally imbalanced. I wasn't angry, I was scared. There have been plenty of times, that I've been in typical road rage situations. This one felt different. I don't know how to explain it, other than my spider sense was tingling and major warning bells were going off.

LOL Billy, you're too much. I think the medical term may be "anus-orrifice seperitus".

I probably would have told her to get her nose out of the air :D I don't have any use for rude people, I just don't see a reason to be that way. God bless. Penny

Thats when I would have asked her if she heard about the new surgery they had now. You know the one that disconnects your eyes from your @%$ hole so you wont have a shitty outlook in life.

Then to top it off....I met a rude quilter! Thats a first for me! She was in front of me at the cutting line. We both had bolts of red white and blue. Not the same fabric but in the same color wheel.

Hmmm you know sometimes you just don't know what people are going through... red white and blue .............perhaps she had a family member in military or perhaps making a quilt for one she lost.. I'm just saying.. having been there ..;)I don't always respond in the best way some days.... don't be so judgemental.. perhaps she needed a hug instead of what she got.
