I am such a flake

My step-son is is, really really sick (just came home from urgent care- he's better now). But earlier in the day, I went to the grocery store to get him some ginger-ale, etc. When I got to the check-out there was only one cashier open, so there were several of us on line. I was starting to get irritated, but a few minutes later another cashier motioned to me to come over. As I did, the guy in front of me (and the lady in front of him) flew over to the other register, so I loudly said, "Oh for God's sake, forget it!" and walked back to my original line. The guy who had been in front of me called over to go ahead and get in front of him and I was all bitchy and said, "No, really- it's fine". So then he said, "Honey, I was in front of you to begin with" and then I said, "No really, it's FINE". I was such a ridiculous bitch! I walked over to him and apologized after the whole thing. I told him that I had a sick child at home and that I was really edgy and that I was so sorry for acting that way. He was so appreciative, and you know I think if more people would just suck it up and apologize for being retarded, the world would be a happier place. He said he completely understood and thanked me for apologizing. I'm all about being a bitch when you've been wronged, but the way I acted was uncalled for.
