SE: Did I commit a grammatically correct social error of some sort

edited December 2008 in Social Entropy++
So...I'm at the safeway, buyin' some food. I want the good sliced turkey from the deli. There's no deli lady. I flag one down.

"Deli lady," I say, "Could you come chop my meat?"

"Sure," she says. She turns out to be the mom of two of the kids from the kids class where I used to do judo.

We chat a little while she bags my meat.

Meanwhile, this girl who has just been standing at the unmanned counter the entire time takes out her phone.

"YEAH...I'm still at the store," She says, "I'm in the deli line, and of course this cow is helping her friend before me and I have to sit here while she takes forever and talks about her kids' little leauge and stuff so I don't know how long I'll be really"

What passive aggressive bullshit, I think.

She hangs up.

"Hey," I say, as sarcastically as possible (Note:Very) "look I'm really sorry I held you up there, Princess."
"Thanks," she says, without irony.
"So..." I continue,"I feel really bad"
She gets that "Is he hitting on me" face.
"So I want to help you finish your shopping. The tiara polish is on aisle 9, the chihuahua chow is on aisle seven and you can find diet books next to the magazine rack, where you can get an US magazine that will tell you how to replace last year's tacky phone and stupid fuzzy boots with this year's."
The deli girl starts coughing intensely as I walk away.

So did I A) do nothing wrong B) Fucked up by not letting her go first since she was standing there or C)I was rude by I canceled it out by being awesome?

That's my question to you, SE++, and I'll extend it by asking: What stupid shit did people say in front of you today? There are no prizes for participation and no-one cares, because your story isn't as good as mine, but you may answer anyway.

    For what? I don't work there. I went and got her to slice my meat. People that work complaint lines know to ignore every third complaint because the caller is a cunt.

    Orik, your story is good and the lady in your av is pretty.

    It reminds me of a time my friend wanted to piss at half time at a football game, so to clear a crowded trough urinal he dropped his pants all the way to his ankles like a little kid.
