Why it's a good thing I don't have super-powers:

[stariel]

I have a bit of a temper. Those of you who know me will know that I'm very happy-go-lucky. I'm content about 95% of the time. I'm slightly whiney about 4% of the time, and the other 1%, well... watch out!

So this is why it's a good think I don't have super powers. See, if I was like Clark on Smallville there would be at least one very smooshed lady. When I was in P-town in a little antique shop with my friend, I met this awful woman. See, the aisles were really really narrow (it was a crowed antique shop, what else would you expect?) and I was calmly walking down an aisle toward my friend. This aisle was big enough for only one person at a time. Well, aforementioned woman decided that she wanted to get out of the shop via the same aisle, so what does she do? Does she say "Excuse me" like a sane person? No, she shoves me over and into an antique dresser, because really that's what you do when someone is in your way.

So I mumble something along the lines of "You didn't have to push me!" and her husband says "Well you weren't trying to get out of the way!"

At that point if I were a super hero I probably would have thrown the both of them against a wall, breaking many valuable antiques. Which is why it's a good thing that I'm not.

That's like the other day....I was trying to walk by this lady in the dollar store, and then she bent over, nearly blocking the aisle with her planetoid-sized rear end. As I managed to squeeze by, she said "Some people say excuse me!" And I muttered, "Some people don't have asses big enough to block the whole aisle". The End.

So, are you saying I'm fat and deserve to be pushed? I'm not quite sure...

[the-meagan.livejournal.com]

No, I'm saying there seems to be quite the abundance of rude, unjustifiably indignant people in stores lately. There was no reason for the lady to push you, and there was no reason for that woman to reprimand me just because she unexpectedly bent over as I was trying to walk.

*snickers at the use of the phrase "planetoid-sized rear end"*

ahem.. well... if you were a superhero i'd be one too.... right? :)
all i can say is that i'd take full advantage of flying-at-the-speed-of-light powers.

[stariel25]

Well, that depends. It depends on whether we're a superhero family like The Incredibles or if our parents just found me wandering after a meteor shower or UFO landing. ;)

Plus, who says you'll get flying-at-the-speed-of-light powers?
