Waiting in Lines

OK I just need to vent a little, so if you don't want to read it just skip over this entry.

The other day I was doing a little shopping at Big Lots (a discount store) at the end of shopping with an uncooperative Lance...he insisted on being held practically the entire time and holding him while pushing a cart, shopping and being 6 + months pregnant is not exactly fun. Although while holding him I noticed that he was a bit warm and since the other kids have been having bouts with colds I figured that it was his turn. So I'm trying to "hurry", I finish up with not too many things in my cart maybe 20 smallish items, barely filled half the cart...and get in line at the checkout. There are about 2 people in front of me and a few behind with only 1 checkout line open. The people in front don't have too many items so it's moving fairly quickly. The lady behind me then asks if she can go ahead of me since she only had "2" items. I roll my eyes and make a comment under my breath about being pregnant and dealing with a toddler. She must have heard some of it because then in very sarcastic and rude voice mentioned that she was disabled and don't mind her. I turned back around and said (sarcastically), "Why don't you go right ahead, please!" She made comments on my pregnancy and said that she was only permanently disabled, blah, blah, blah. I then repeated, "Please go ahead, I'd rather you go first so that I don't have to listen to your rude comments any more." She then started making comments again about my pregnancy and something about if I had used birth control I wouldn't be in that condition, or something of that sort. At which point I REALLY stopped listening and left the line, saying "that it wasn't worth standing in line listening to her."
Now I realize I was a little rude too. I mean I know I'm supposed to be nice and considerate of others, but this isn't the first time someone has asked to cut in front of me just because they have a few items and I have more. Lately it seems to happen at least once or twice a month. (And I'm not exagerating) And remember I am noticably pregnant and generally don't go to the store alone. I feel like I must have a big sign over my head saying, "Please feel free to cut in front of me, I'm only pregnant, dealing with 4 kids, my back hurts...blah blah blah!"
Whatever happened to a little common courtesy? I don't know if this is a common occurrence, so if it's happened to you please let me know that I'm not the only one.
As far as I'm concerned, if you're planning on going to a store you should plan on AND be willing to stand in line...which will most likely happen! Everyone HAS to wait in line at some point in their lives, indeed it's actually a daily occurrence. GET USED TO IT! And in reality, it probably only would have made a difference of about 2-3 minutes. I have NEVER asked to cut in line, I consider it rude and basically against the "rules". And when I have not been in a rush, pregnant or dealing with kids I have let others of "those" natures go ahead of me.
Now my story does have a semi happy ending. So as I was saying I left the line and decided to roam an aisle or two, to calm down (I was on the verge of tears ~angry tears~ chalk that up to being pregnant and emotional, ugh!) and wait til she had "left the building". An employee caught up to me, having heard part of the conversation and apologized for the "woman" and offered to ring me up. As we chatted through the transaction about the "episode" she mentioned how someone else had told her to stop spreading her bad mood onto everyone else.
Of course I am also not the type to think quickly on my feet and come up with good comments to these situations at the moment. Those come afterwards and they did on the way home in abundance. One not so nice comment I thought of was in response to her "birth control" comment. "Too bad her parents didn't use "BC" when she was conceived, or that I guess it didn't work since she was conceived". Bad I know. But who is SHE to make a comment LIKE THAT! Jeez!

So anyway, that's my rant. If you want to just chalk it up to being pregnant and over emotional. Fine by me...I know that it wouldn't normally bug me like this if I wasn't pregnant.
Thanks for listening.
