I was behind this girl at the grocery yesterday. I laughed at her. I laughed hard. It's not like me to blatantly laugh at someone. I was trying not to, looking at my feet, hoping she wouldn't notice. I couldn't help it. She kept talking really fast and ending all her sentences like thiiiiiis while the tone keeps going uuuup....and going on...and on....
I know, I'm so bad. I feel dirty.
I think it's so odd when someone has such a bad opinion of themselves that they require telling you all they know, own and experience. Such as twenty-something, Grocery Girl talking to the cashier yesterday.
"I went to Cancun last week, and was in a hot tub.."
[flip blonde / black hair to show off giant ugly Chanel logo on sunglasses and display freshly adorned, cute little butterfly tattoo on neck]
"...and I ran into people that live just four houses down from my house. Oh my gahhh, It's a small world."
[flip hair]
"Cause I bought a house last year, over by the mall in the 'upscale area'. I used to live here but it's so small town I moved away, but now I'm back. "
[flip hair and adjust yoga pants so thong shows better]
"Have you had that cheese, cause it's imported. I'm having a cheese and wine tasting party tonight with some girlfriends..."
[flip hair while aloof and silent cashier rings up purchases]
"My girlfriends are going to love this wine, cause it's $20 bucks.....it better be good...I hope four bottles will be enough...."
[I look down at my feet and start shaking trying my best to push down my laughter. Avoid obvious stares of cashier and girl who is now fully annoyed that I can only be laughing at her]
.......[uncomfortable silence].
She thanks cashier and almost leaves behind her Chanel sunglasses, "Can't leave these, they are $300 glasses!" as she grabs them off the counter.
It's so bad of me, but I felt sad this girl was so insecure she had to prove everything she did. All I could think of was Penelope from SNL.
