How Confrontational Are You?

How confrontational are you?

Are you the type that walks up to strangers and gives them a piece of your mind? Or do you hang back, thinking how much you'd like to tell a person what you really think, but don't because you'd be embarrassed or whatever?

We're going off roading tomorrow so I went to The-Most-Hated-Store (Walmart) to pick up some supplies. I go there for one reason. They have a big bag of good, peppery beef jerky for $10.00. I could buy a little bag in a different not as good bag elsewhere, but whatever. While there I remember that I need makeup - powder specfically so I go check out what they have.

I come across a Mom and her teenage daughter in the aisle. Daughter is trying on the makeup while Mom is on the phone. I glance around wondering where the sample is and notice that it's not a sample bottle, the daughter is just opening makeup and testing it out. I watch her in disbelief thinking the Mom will come over and tell her - HEY NOW! But Mom just tells her it's not the right shade and directs her to a different one.

I'm looking for powder and not seeing what I wanted, and they continue to open makeup. She finally finds the one she wants - but does she take the bottle she opened? Of course not. She gets a new, unopened bottle.

Bitch.

While this occurs, I contemplate saying something to her: You mind not opening the makeup and wrecking it for everyone else?

But I don't. I leave and see an employee on the aisle next door and tell on them. It's the girl in the black and white polka dot dress I tell her. The employee rolls her eyes, sighs and goes to see what they are up to.

I would end up being the one to buy the makeup and end up at home noticing it's already been opened requiring me to go back and exchange it, I'm sure.

So - would you have told them something? Or just ignored it?

Do you have a time that you've spoken up about something to a total stranger? Or wished you would have in retrospect? Or wouldn't have?

And flipping people off from your car while driving doesn't count. Has to be face to face.
