AM I WRONG?

I'm in the grocery store and a petite young lady had stopped with her cart in the dead center of the isle while looking for some soup. Five of us were backed up behind her when i finally spoke up and said...

"I know your mother taught you your manners like blocking the entire row she was just as rude when she spit the best half of you on the motel floor."

She had a shocked look on her face and promptly moved her cart. The guy behind me said "good one!" so i know they wanted to say the something as well. And I hope she will think twice the next time she decides to park in the middle of the road.

but was I wrong I mean I was the only one who could say it and blame it on my insanity.

I've been advised to look for the humanity in others. Personally, I'm not a rude person. If it had been me it would have been one of my more medicated moments. I am always appalled to realize that I upset people. Some how I find it hard to believe that it was an evil plot on her part to piss all of you off. Being kind has never gone wrong for me.

Wow! How proud you seem to be! You got a good laugh at someone else's expense. Couldn't wait to get home and brag about it, here, could you?
Well, let me tell you, we all mess up. I don't have a clue what the "petit young lady" was thinking, but let me tell you how I would have reacted. I would have apologised, turned varying shades of red and bone white. I would have gotten out of the store as fast as I could, and I would never go back there. I would be afraid of running afoul of you, every time I went out of my house. And I would replay the incident over and over for God knows how long, shame and embarrasment making me want to cry, and bringing on depression for a long time.
Be careful. The person you shared your talent for meanness with, could have bipolar, herself, and you could have harmed her more than you will ever know.

You said she knowingly stopped in the middle with people wanting to get by, so no that was rude on her part. I loved the remark. If you weren't the slighty mean you were she would just do it again. I probably wouldn't have been so nice.
When I'm in someones way, even for a second, I apologize while moving.

I was just remembering something. I lived on a tiny island with narrow roads. Right by a parking lot, 2 cars going in opposite directions, decided the thing to do was to stop in the road, roll down their windows and start a long chat. Traffic started building up, and I, along with everyone else went from patient to pissed. Know why I remember this so well? Later that day I saw one of the cars..and it had a bumper sticker that said "as a matter of fact I DO own the whole damn road"
beeeaaaatch!
