It makes for a funny story but I think it would have accomplished more if you had told her you were going to report her and her kid to the manager for theft and contaminating the food. It bothers me that you didn't say anything. If you had, the manager could have removed the contaminated food. So innocent people came along after and took those nuts or candy unaware of what went on. The woman was being a jerk but I wish you had not acted in kind and had been a little more responsible. Also I doubt you taught her any kind of lesson.

This type of behavior (the mother's) is so sad, and unfortunately very typical these days. So many people have complete disregard for others and carry themselves with a "I'm more important than you and everything else" type attitude. I'd be willing to bet money that the mother also drives a gas guzzling SUV while talking the cell phone the entire time.

But for an adult to pick his nose and stick it in her bag? That didn't solve anything, it only made her less likely to think about anything you had said before. If you did actually do that, it was stupid. I agree with previous posters... you should have reported it to store mangement or the health department, then you would have been acting responsibly and getting the problem solved.
