I replied, "If you had discipline, you could, too."

Disclaimer: I didn't actually say that to anyone. Saw it on Threads, and laughed. It is such a good line, I shared it on its own. I didn't want to dilute it with any other comment, but I'd better. I'm just getting the hang of pushing past people blocking the aisle at the store. Working on good comebacks

Really sorry if I triggered anyone.
