Bread Nazi

Oh Gawd.... I cannot stand his show... still haunting me in re-runs.. Forced to watch it every Saturday evening in my youth.. until I got old enough to escape!
 
Not my cuppa either -- seemed more suitable for my parents' generation. Of course I was too young, preferring folk, rock and jazz. There was a similar show here, 'Guy Lombardo', we changed the channel when it came on. My mom preferred Perry Como.

P.S. I'm fond of the soup nazi image, I have used it as an avatar on various forums.

A sorry indictment of today's conditions: Fighting over day old bread, cake, and biscuits.
Still fresh in memory how grateful we were for day old bread while still in the U.S.
Day old bread also available in Australia.
So grateful we've been able to buy fresh everything since immigrating.
 
Our supermarket offers end of day bread, after 6 pm, packaged in large plastic bags for $1 each. A very good deal.
 
I have encountered these behaviors in many senior settings. Exercise groups, classes for seniors, senior centers. I have come to the conclusion that many seniors become territorial because we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives have become controlled by fate. So some need to retain some semblance of control by controlling everything around them. I too have a hard time dealing with people like this and find just ignoring them is the only recourse.

Good point Nona, I've noticed that too with some seniors...I agree.

...and me three SB . Many seniors do feel they have to be in control in many different genres, in the RW and virtually ...and I never thought about it before Nona but I believe you're right , it's probably as you say due to the possibility that they have lost the right of control in their own lives and probably their own homes , so they feel they can attempt to control others.
 
I concur, SeaBreeze, Nona, and Holly.This need to control often wreaks havoc in their familial/social relationships. Sadly, many of these seniors become lonely prisoners of their own gravity. Too toxic for others to be around.
 
Totally ignore the bread nazi. I'd be tempted to knock her upside the head with a loaf of bread, but I don't advise that. :D
 
I'm kind of perplexed here isn't this supposed to be some advice to the Op on how to deal with someone in a supermarket?...how did it get to personal attacks? :dunno:

The first time my sister went to a new exercise class, she picked a spot with her mat, etc. in this very big room. A lady came in and told her to move as she was in HER spot! And this was a seniors class.
