i was choosing apples A happily at the supermarket
a woman, who was around my age, was choosing apples B beside me

suddenly

Woman: Apples B are very nice
Me: Thank you (with a polite smile)

ignoring her, I continued to choose some more apples A

Woman: Then why are you still choosing apples A?!
Me: I like these apples more!

i walked away
no point talking to her
who was so opinionated
who are you?
trying to dictate what i buy

oh my goodness
i had never been so infuriated by a stranger before
i didn't ask for your opinion
so just keep them to yourself
and leave me alone
i buy what we (my family) like
we like what i buy

if i were in a bad mood then
i would have said
"mind your own business!"

i hope i won't bump into this busybody again

Hi Audrey,

That is similar to my reactions but I would have talked her into trying apples-A. I would have been mischevious enough and then I would have said , thats ok if you don't like my apples- A I ain't gona like your apples ?

Blessings.
Ron.
BTW- She was probable look for a friend her own age ?

Dear Audrey ~~ As you say, you buy what you like, and she can buy what she likes. End of discussion.
Thanks for the Leap Year Day wishes,
and I wish you the same or is it too late? It is already 1st March here.
In fact 1 .15 PM. Take care,
Love, Merle.

Hi Audrey,

Thanks for dropping by to say hi. I don't know what happened though...I tried to fix something on my post and in the end I lost the comment. Just wanted you to know that it didn't get deleted on purpose.

Hope all is well with you. Sorry I haven't been very visible on Facebook or here...the family has been sick and this has been a hard week with my friend being sick and passing away.

(((HUGS))) and blessings to you today. Hope you had a good leap year day!

Patience! Patience! Patience! We cannot avoid meeting disagreeable people. They may be just trying to be helpful. Just don't mind them and don't let them get into your nerves. I hope I did not get into your nerves. Thanks for the post. God bless you and your loved ones always.

These folks can be a little irritating can't they? Usually people like that keep their distance from me. May be, that I look pushy to them? ~ jb///

My goodness, Audrey, some people like to stick their noses into other people's business, don't they? Best thing is to ignore someone like that.

Have a wonderful day!

Blessings,

Renie

Dearest Friends

Thank you so much for all your encouragement.
If I were to bump into her once again, I would avoid her =)
God bless.

I prolly would have smiled at her and said: We tried them, but we like these better.
That would have put an end to it. hehe.

I hope you won't run into her again. Maybe we should pray for her, because I think Grandpaw was right. She may just have been looking for a friend.

God's Grace.
