It's not fun to call out a line cutter. In fact, most folks do not consider confrontation with strangers to be their strong suit, and yet sometimes, there is no other alternative but to call these people out on their nonsense.

Here, we have a babysitter who was purchasing a toy with the 3-year-old she was taking care of at the time. When it was their turn at checkout, the 3-year-old accidentally dropped the toy, which gave the impatient Karen behind them the opportunity to cut the line and insist that it was actually her turn. The babysitter chose not to pick a fight because of the presence of this kid, but she ended up having the chance to enact some perfect petty revenge later on in the parking lot. 

As it turns out, the babysitter's car was parked right next to the impatient Karen's vehicle, so the babysitter took the opportunity to take a ridiculously long time and effectively block Karen from being able to leave. That's what you get for not waiting earlier, lady!

    I was at CVS today with the 3yo I care for (I'm a nanny). She'd earned a prize for using the potty and we'd gone to CVS for her to pick a small toy.

    She did, and we joined the check out line. There's three people ahead of us and only one cashier, so we're waiting a while. Eventually this

    and starts huffing and tapping her foot so everyone knows she's annoyed.

    We finally get to the front of the line. We are buying one small toy and nothing else. I hand the 3yo her toy to put on the counter,

    I'd say something, but I don't want to get in an argument in front of the 3yo. So we wait for impatient lady to check out, then quickly pay for our one item.

    Out in the parking lot, I see impatient lady with her trunk open. Her car is parked next to my car. I

    Right before I closed 3yo's door I said oh wait, let me take the packaging off your toy. So I reopened the door and did that. Then I realized
