The Line
I went to Trader Joe's today on my lunch break just to grab a jar of olives for my salad (what is a salad without olives after all). As I was walking towards the shortest line this woman with a full cart practically runs to beat me in line. I was a little bit peeved but instead of moving to another line I decided to be rude right back to her. I stood about four inches behind her (doesn't everybody hate personal space invaders) and every time she pulled an item from her cart I made a Huh? or a heh! sound just to irritate her. You could tell she was getting really irritated just by her body language as I stood behind her just tossing my one jar of olives back and forth in my hands making little noises at her groceries. As soon as the cashier handed the lady her receipt and change I popped my olives on the counter and loudly proclaimed "Yup, just these today!"
Okay, so I didn't stop global warming or promoted world peace or anything, but it amused me while I was in line and that is really all that counts, now isn't it.

Good for you! After all those cafe conversations, you must be about ready to burst. The nerve of some people.
olives noires ou vertes?
Well, they were kalmata olives. . .so I guess those are black?
Move to Canada. I was once in line with 3 items and a woman with a cartful in front of me offered to switch places.
I hope the woman in front of you heard your proclamation.
