Show some fucking RESPECT...
I was at the good ol' Walmart earlier this evening and after getting the usual water, bananas, diapers and milk, I returned to my handicap labled car. While in the process of slowly limping my way down the that sexy beast of a car ...I was people watching. What I saw made me puke in my mouth a little.
In front of me were a few teenage (18-19) boys, one girl and what looked to be a mother who aparently didn't realize she was in her late 40's and climbing that hill fast. They all had in their hands items that belonged in a dorm room, so I think that it's safe to say they were headed to college. (God please bless them with a fucking education, thanks.) One of the boys was talking rather loudly about how he'd "TOTALLY" do something or another "drunk". This is what started the initial disgust that lead to the horrible taste in my mouth. Well, I kept watching...why? I don't know. But one of the guys, as passing some elderly man/woman's vehicle that was parked in the handicap section, grabbed the cancer ribbon off of the trunk and the rest of the group started to chuckle.
I think my jaw hit the pavement. (This is how the vommit escaped my mouth, by the way.) Who really has such a lack of respect that they do things like that? In my head I am thinking of the little old lady, whom possibly has had breast cancer herself, coming out to her car and not even realizing that it's gone. Or the old man who's wife died from cancer and has the ribbon to remember her. I know that these are like, "worst case scenarios", but I believe that SOMEBODY should be thinking about them. Obviously it wasn't the assholes that were trying to be "cool" by stealing from the damn blind!
So I debated...say something or not. I honestly almost didn't but I was sure that biting my tongue would just piss me off even more later. So...I did. =0)
I simply said... "Exuse me" quited loudly a few times until I got their attention. I then asked if I really saw what I thought I had just seen. (Of course I was only trying to be poilte.) They all looked away and said nothing. The misfit herself brought the walmart cart over to it's station right beside me and asked ever so softly to repeat what I had asked. I repeated, not so softly. She couldn't even look up at me when she said,"I don't know what you are talking about." I replied, "Of course you don't, but just in case you do...it's really fucked up."
They all quietly gathered in their POS and drove away.
I felt semi accomplished. At least, even if their dumbasses thought that it was funny, they'd know that it didn't go unnoticed and it certainly goes to show that the human race is officially fucked.
