say what you're thinking

This is a great thread. In most cases, I don't say exactly what's on my mind. It depends. I *may* edit what I'm REALLY thinking or I may change the tone.

Just recently, I was at the post office trying to send a package out. I had some of my belongings on a counter, and just as I was about to move them out of the way, a customer comes up from my right side with her packages and just puts them up on the same counter...no "excuse me" or "sorry, is this yours?" or anything. I guess my peeve was that she just came over like she owned the place. I *wanted* to say (in my blackest of black voices), "Um, ex-ca-uuuuuse you? You could have AT LEAST waited until I moved my stuff!!" With plenty of hands-on-hip, neck twisting, finger snaping action.

However, it was one of those things where I was so put-off by her actions, that I just moved my stuff out of her way (with lots of huff, so that she would know that she pissed me off), and went on about my business. Funny thing: she didn't even look in my general direction. Had she done so, she would have caught my look of death.
