For a minute there, I thought you had met my great aunt Anne. Then I remembered she’s dead.

I thoroughly enjoyed the descriptions of crazy Italian lady, but “odious slattern” is going right in the ol’ repertoire.

You should have pulled a Peter Griffin when he tried to argue with the Italian deli owner.

It still manages to amaze me when people freak out like the Italian Stereotype Lady. How do people get that much of an overinflated sense of self importance? Why is it so much more important for HER to get in than all the rest of the people who were also turned away? The sheer arrogance is mind-boggling.

I am glad that you called her out on it, though. I usually walk away from those sorts of situations complaining about the offending lunatic, but I am far too passive aggressive to point out the irrational behavior to the offender’s face.

*slow clap*

At least the cheese and crackers weren’t in a fanny pack around your waist?

You know “Crimson and Clover” is a cover, right?

Was the Crazy Cat Lady Italian? I learn so much from this site…

I thought it was just girls who worried about becoming their mothers. But if you’re carrying snacks in your purse– I mean “backpack”– for hungry bloggers. Yeah, you’ve got problems.

I fully expect to hear an audio clip of this story, including examples of the Italian accent.

Good for you for calling that weirdo on the carpet like that. I live for moments like that.
