Lost My Temper

So you all know I'm having a reaction to that dry mustard. So I summon up the courage to go to the market on my way home from work (which I left early from, with permission) to get a bag of chicken breasts.

My pinky and ankle go "numb" when I have a reaction, I get tunnel vision, I swear sweat (turns out I do swear )

it's all I can do to hold myself together to go in that big store.

I'm coming out of one of the aisles and this foolish man boy dude thing came racing around the corner pulling a huge pallet thing behind him, hit my cart with it, hit me with his arm or something and I tumbled into the cookies that I can't freaking EAT!

Before I knew it, I go, "WTF is wrong with your stupid self?" He just kept going! :o I go "HEY! STUPID PERSON! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?" This old man goes, "son, you knocked this lady over, just nearly." Then he turns around, I guess cuz an elder MAN spoke to him.

I go, "Seriously, why why why would you act like that?" He don't say nothing, so I go "Whatever, you're a nasty effin' creep."

I do NOT act and talk and go off like that, so it musta been part of my reaction I don't know, but damn,

wanna know a secret?? it was fun

I'm thinkin of taking it up full time :D :D

You go Connie! I would have huffed up to the service desk and loudly demanded to speak to the manager. The store really doesn't want people like that working there. If you were hurt, they could be sued.

You definately should have gone immediately to the manager. What if you had been an elderly woman with osteoporosis! There was no excuse for his not stopping and at least apologizing. He deserved all you gave him and then some!!!!!

I would have been mad too. There was no excuse for his behavior and not saying he was sorry and making sure you were alright. People just don't use their manners anymore and it is sad. I preach manners to my children. Here is something else to consider. While he may not have had any intention on appoligizing, he may not wanted any further confrontation with you after you started having words with him (I probably would have said something offstandish myself). I think people like this get away with this behavior because people don't report it.

It never occurred to me to tell the manager. We all know each other by name there. The guy was a soft drink vendor, he doesn't work for the store directly which is even worse I suppose. He's new, I haven't seen him before.

All I wanted to do was get back in my car and sit down, that's all I was thinking of. And that old man was givin' it to him pretty good.

I'll go up there tomorrow and tell them what happened. Now, typical me, I'm feeling sorry for the stupid guy... he's young, he's obviously got a new job, he was trying to hustle and do good.....but still, what he did was wrong on a lot of levels.

I once hit a man with my cart, on purpose! This was many years ago before I had a child. I was shopping alone. Going down an aisle and nearing the end when a man with a little boy came blasting around the corner, ramming his cart hard into mine and getting it shoved back into my legs. It hurt! He said nothing. Didn't even look at me and just kept on going. I was flabbergasted!

Not long after, I saw him standing by the dairy case. So I said not a word, just came up behind him and rammed in lightly but quickly in the back of his legs with my cart. Of course he screamed. Said something like, "So you think it's okay to hit a person with a little kid?" And then I replied, "Well, I guess you think it's okay to hit a person without a little kid!" Then I hightailed it to the checkout.

I think I've only been back to that store once since. I really hate it. There is not enough room in the aisles the way it is laid out. But that still didn't give him any excuse to ram me likt that.

That's why pregnant women should travel with wingmen (women) - so when some crazy *itch like that acts up we can take them down for you. Or, you know, tail her out to her car and freakin CALL THE COPS FOR ASSAULT!!!! How can you do that to a pregnant woman?!?!?

I was 23 then. I've grown quite a pair since then! ;) There's no way I'd take that nowadays! I hate Costco anyways. I'm always in defense mode when I go there now--And NEVER on a Sunday after church--that's when all the crazies show up!!

What if we all went shopping together? That would be scary. We would wear matching gang shirts and push our carts next to each other taking up the whole aisle.

In the midst of all this venting, I want to share a good shopping experience.

I was at Costco, and some little boy raced out in front of me. I screeched my cart to a halt, waited for him to return to his parents, and kept going. A few minutes later I realized the boy and his dad were following me. When the finally caught up, the dad looked at his son, raised his eyebrow, and motioned to me. Very contritely, the boy came up and apologized for almost running into me. I told him it was alright, and thanked him for taking the time to come up and say something to me.

Sorta reaffirmed my belief in the human race, and all it was, was a dad taking the time to parent his child. :)

This reminded me of something my husband told me. He is a butcher for a local grocery and is the manager of the department. He is constantly having to throw away meat product because people, especially children, poke holes in the shrink wrap. This costs him money since he can not resell the item. This really makes him mad. On several occasions he has approached the kids/parents that he has caught doing this and gets no response, no boo, sh*t..nothing. One day he saw a kid poke a hole in a package of hamburger. The child's father picks up the package and brings it and the child over to my husband. He has the child appoligize and offers to pay for the meat. Hubby was so impressed that someone took the time to do the right thing that he said that it was not necessary to pay for it and thanked him for appoligizing. So, there is still hope yet!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
