Mother's Day Shopping Fiasco

I've just come back from Mother's Day shopping and need to vent.

So my mum doesn't eat chocolate, is very particular about books and music and LOATHS flowers. That's why it takes me forever to find her the perfect Mother's Day present that I think she'll like. 

I was out late night shopping tonight, going from store to store in an attempt to find something that I could present to mum on Sunday and was having no luck. Everything looked tacky, had flowers on it, was exorbitantly over priced or just not "right". As a last ditch effort I went into JB HiFi to see if I could grab her some sort of movie gift pack or something. 

Firstly, NEVER go to JB HiFi at Riverlink on a late night shopping night. You may just lose your life. 
Secondly, if you have issues about personal space, NEVER go to JB HiFi at Riverlink on a late night shopping night. 

I was squished into between two people who have not be introduced to soap or deodorant in a very long time, looking at older movies to see if there was something for Mother Dearest. I was reaching out to have a look at a movie, it had Audrey Hepburn in it, when the lady next to me said "Back off that's mine [insert bad word here]!" Well a little shocked, I politely told this woman that she wasn't holding the DVD so I had the right to buy it. When the man next to me snatched the DVD and gave it to the woman, I think my mouth may have it the floor. He said a few choice words, which I won't repeat, took the woman's hand and walked away. All while I stood there and watched. 

Are people really THAT rude?! Please, comment or send me an email. I want to know. How can a DVD cause two people to act in that way?

On the drive home, I promptly walked out of the store after that encounter, I decided to take my mum out to lunch instead of getting her something this year, it seems like a safer option. 


I feel like this entry needs a little bit of brightening up, so here is my favourite song with the word "Momma" in it's title.
