No no... You are inappropriate

I do a lot of things often. Things I do not do often include being embarrassed, conceding to defeat when I believe I am correct, not thinking about what I say to strangers and regretting decisions that I have made. I did all of these things tonight and it really makes me want to go back to that KFC and tell someone off.

Rewind...

Today I went to pick up KFC for Cameron (guy I work with) and myself. I was told that Cameron's food would take 3 minutes so I took the cup that I was given and got some Wild Cherry Pepsi. I had a few sips, refilled, had a few sips, refilled and capped it. The women standing behind me who was about a mom's age (my mom not my age and an infant's mom) said, "Excuse me...do you know how inappropriate that is?" I was shocked and instantly felt bad. She explained that with swine flu and germs I should not drink out of a cup and put it back up to the fountain. I told her I have never thought of that and if it had occurred to me it was a problem I would not have done it. I felt awkward and out of place and wanted her to leave before the lecture continued. Then I spent the next half hour thinking about this.

I realized that not only did I do nothing wrong...but she was in fact the one who was inappropriate. How dare her lecture/confront me about doing something that is both allowed and in now way spreads germs. I should have told her that she was inappropriate for telling me what I was doing was wrong, not minding her own buisness, and watching too much bullshit news and being a hypochondriac.

I do not regret much...but she should have been slapped...or at least politely told she was mistaken.
