Struck by an Amigo

Struck by an Amigo


Don't worry.... If your<b> traveling </font></b>fast enough, you can use body as a ramp. Perhaps then you can reach the Cheetos.

I have a grocery store peeve.

It's a BIG peeve.

Why isn't there a lock on how fast the motorized shopping carts go in a grocery store? I mean, come on.... It's not the Indy 500, there is no race to get to the next food item on your list.

Swear to God!

I was struck by an amigo today.... By a very large woman with a cigarette tucked behind her ear red stretch pants with hole in the knee.

The knee skin?? Crusty....

How dare I walk down the center isle as if I have right of way, not paying attention may or may not be flying of the cookie isle doing 50 mph on a motorized cart loaded with food items.

While I was laying on the floor, this woman had the nerve tell pick up her donuts as they fell from the basket on the front of her cart when we collided.

I smashed them.

"What is wrong with you?? Is it beyond your scope of reality that you may have hurt ??"

I don't think she expected burst of emotion as I teared up a little, breaking point from the last few days had arrived. She literally just sat there for a long moment, then teared up herself, started cry while she apologized .

Pulling myself up off the floor, I brushed the white dusty crap off my legs, turned on my heel, strode off leaving the crushed donut package on the floor a circle of spectators standing and staring.

Amigo 1 - 0

Amigo Lady - $3.99 (The cost of the donuts.)

Yes, good thing I don't have any broken bones. LOL I do have a sizeable bruise on my arm from where the basket on her cart struck me.

    Sorry, but that was a good laugh! I can't believe she had the nerve to ask for her donuts before apologizing! Had she apologized first the donuts may have lived!!
I never do stuff like that... and it is funny, now. At the moment I was so embarrassed, and everyone was just staring. I kept thinking, what is wrong with these people??

    No, everybody is carrying a gun.
I'm always amazed by the cultural differences in the different parts of our country. Or maybe I'm just naive.... But I don't think people carry guns like that in the midwest.

    I am trying not to laugh but come on, the look on her face HAD to have been priceless when you crushed her donuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Hope you are ok. Hurts bad enough when it is a people powered cart, never mind a motorized one.
Oh, it was priceless. I can finally laugh about it now..... Her mouth fell open and I'm pretty sure she swallowed her gum. I even surprised myself. I'm ok, it did hurt at first, but I think I managed to walk it off.

    OMG! I hope you're not injured from that! I can't believe people don't bother watching where they're going or looking at what's around them when they're on those things. And good for you for smashing her donuts! She should consider herself lucky that no one has sued her for assault with that cart.
My ankle did hurt for a bit, but I'm ok now. Aside from a couple of bruises on my arm and the back of my leg, no real damage done. I nearly threw the donuts to, but I restrainedmyself. Lol

    The donut lady got off easy. It would have caused a shootout here.

    i love those donuts... once in a while.
    it would always look like i was on coke, after eating a couple of them.
Oddly, I'm not a big sweet eater. I'd prefer fruit to donuts, believe it or not.

    Ironically I find myself complaining about how SLOWWWWWWWW the motorized carts at my store go...

    Hope you're ok (and that you forgive me for laughing a bit!!!)
I am ok.... and after initially being really upset, I did tell the story a few times and got a few laughs out of it. I was limping a little when it first happened, but I think it worked itself out.

    From my experience the ones in my stores can barely get out of their own way let alone fly low . With semi square wheels and needing a front end alignment and the battery on it's last leg
This one certainly wasn't experiencing any issues.
