That lady at the supermarket

I stood in line behind an annoying Asian lady at the supermarket this afternoon.
She had a fifty dollar bill in her hand.
She was short in stature.
She unloaded one item at a time and made sure she double checked each item.
She had past due coupons.
She wouldn't admit they were past due.
She questioned the cashier numerous times.
She bought a tiny watermelon.
She bought a lot of Stouffer's frozen items.
She wore a funny hat.
She hummed along with the muzak playing in the background.
She bought buy one get one free items, but she got the wrong size.
She turned around and smiled an I'm sorry I'm taking so long smile.
She asked me if I had seen The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.
She wasn't happy that the cashier bagged her groceries in paper.
She grabbed a plastic bag and stuck her tiny melon in it.
She checked and re-checked her cash register receipt.
She walked away mumbling something.
She bought a mega million lottery ticket.
The end
