She Utters An Insult To A Shopper Who Cut Her Off At Target, So She Claps Back As She Leaves Them In The Dust
by Ashley Ashbee
A lot of people are cutthroat about shopping.
Especially if it’s Target at Christmas time, as the woman in this story found out.
See what her new nemesis did at the store.
The Wrath of the Target Line Lady
It was Christmas Eve, and I had one mission: get wrapping paper. Simple, right? Wrong.
I made the rookie mistake of going to Target.
The place was packed with frantic last-minute shoppers, all acting like it was the apocalypse and wrapping paper was the cure.
From here it’s the stuff of nightmares.
I finally found the shortest checkout line—or so I thought.
Suddenly, this lady cut me off and waltzed straight to the front like she owned the place.
I whispered under my breath, “So stupid,” because, well, she was.
But of course, as fate would have it, she heard me.
She whipped around with the intensity of a hawk spotting prey and started yelling.
Now, I wasn’t about to back down.
So I did the only logical thing—I played dumb.
“Who, me? No, I didn’t say anything!”
The lady behind me caught on, too, and backed me up, calling her crazy.
Soon, the entire line was looking at her like she was auditioning for a reality TV meltdown.
Victory was mine… or so I thought.
Fast-forward to checkout
. I paid for my stuff, including the much-needed wrapping paper, and strutted out of Target feeling pretty smug.
That is, until I realized I couldn’t find my car.
I was so stressed about the crowd that I hadn’t paid attention to where I parked.
The nightmare continues…
I wandered the parking lot with my cart, trying to play it cool, even though I looked like a lost toddler in a mall.
That’s when I noticed a car creeping behind me.
At first, I thought, Oh, they’re just waiting for my parking spot.
But no.
I turned around, and there she was—the same lady from the line, glaring at me like a villain in a bad Christmas movie.
She rolled down her window, laughed maniacally, and yelled, “SO WHO’S STUPID NOW?!”
And you know what? She had a point.
I never found my car faster in my life.
Lesson learned: never pick a fight with a crazy lady in Target on Christmas Eve.
Here is what folks are saying.
That’s the spirit!
That’s a polite way to do it…
That about sums it up.
The best comeback is always out of reach.
Ha no.
Maybe try online shopping next time.
It might turn out better for everyone involved.
