To the jerk that picked up my daughters lost shoe and chucked it in the snow bank, thanks so much for your help! When I called out to you and asked you if you had a little shoe in your hand, and you said “Yeah, I’ll just leave it here for you” (and then you tossed it in the snow) please do not mistake the “Thanks so much” that I called out to you, as a heartfelt thank you. Please interpret it as go screw yourself, which I could not holler out in front of my daughter. God would it have killed you to walk the 10 feet over to my car, maybe you didn’t notice that I had my hands full, what with trying to get a toddler into a car seat and manage the rest of the bags I had in my hands. At the very least, you could have just left the shoe where it was, because it would have stayed dry. But I guess in your world snow soaked shoes are wonderful during flu season, and it is so much fun to have a sick toddler. And before you snark back that it wouldn’t have killed me to walk the 10 feet…..it didn’t, but it did mean leaving my child in the car alone, which is not something anyone likes to do, especially when there are people like you walking around. I hope you are happy with the impression that you left with me, and no doubt any other person who would have the misfortune to meet you.
