Everyone has a story

An A Fair to remember?

Off I went to one of my local holiday fairs.

 Got up extra early to get in line as it has a great white elephant table that people line up for.

 I arrived about 20 minutes before the doors officially opened.  I told my sister I would meet her there.

 The doors this year were open for us to stand inside the hallway as it was a cold November morning.

  I opened the door to see about twenty people standing clumped together.

I had no where to go so I just stood by the door able to move if someone else came in the door.

I am very considerate of other people and their spots in line as I have learned people can be nasty!

There was an older woman in front of me with a "furry hat" on.

 A woman on the side of me with a vintage hand bag and a bandage on her face and another woman in her late 40's early 50's to the other side with a Massachusetts accent.

I hear someone say out loud "are you really going to stand there?" he said in a very nasty tone of voice. I replied "Excuse me"? You have a lot of nerve coming in the door and standing there, there's a line here you know?

Really? I told him.

I am sure whatever it is that you are looking for I am not looking for and whatever I am looking for you are not looking for! So relax!

I am by no means a mean person and I hate confrontations. All of a sudden the woman in front of me

(furry hat lady) told him to be quiet.  This is a church fair you know.  There is no line in here.

He continued on and on with his partner in crime a woman his age, they both had to be in their late sixties.

I told him I really am not cutting anyone in line, I am just trying to stay warm sir! You are more than welcome to go up the stairs in front of me when it opens.  He continued on in his nasty tone, that karma was going to get me.

Well thank goodness for the women around me! One of the woman on the side of me all of a sudden began crying.

She looked at the man and told him how dare you? What happened to church fairs? They used to be a nice place to go and spend a Saturday morning, now people like you have made them not nice to come to anymore.  She went on to say that her husband was home on the brink of dying and she needed to get out as she has been by his side for a few weeks.  This was an outing for her to keep her sanity and she had to deal with this jackass!

I could not believe what was happening around me! It was amazing how these woman stood up for me.I knew from they way they spoke that they have been through some things in their lives.  Things that I have been through that makes me tolerate people. 

I always tell my kids be tolerant of people as you don't know what is going on in their lives.  Everyone has a bad day at some point.  So kill em with kindness!

The "furry hat lady" went on to tell us that she just gave up her house and is moving to Kentucky with people who she met on facebook! They had a huge piece of land with a small house on it that she could live in for free! She had been through two cancers and beat them, she let the Massachusetts lady get in front of her and gave her a hug and said she will pray for her and her husband!

What a morning...If only I could have found some treasures to buy.  I was so upset over this man that I let it bother me. 

The funny thing is that a huge woman around 300 pounds came in stood in front of me.

 Do you know that the nasty man did not say a word to her!

She ended up getting in front of all of us and going in first!

Karma is a bitch mister, but it wasn't coming to me that day it was coming back at you!
