When you have to go out for errands and not in the mood, seems like a lot happens.
Someone walks out in front of your car looking at their phone not paying attention. You trip and almost fall.
Checker in the store isn't in a good mood, she doesn't give you time to put your change
back in your wallet because she's ringing up next customers groceries change falls on the floor. All kinds of little things
not going smoothly, well that was my day, along with dropping my bananas....so decided to get on home.

I think it's just that people out in public these days are oblivious, self absorbed and preoccupied.

I was at Walmart earlier today, people pushing shopping carts expect you to get out of their way, same with people walking. Back when people were civil(seems like a lifetime ago) oncoming people would veer to one side as you veered to the opposite side to avoid collision. Not happening, not anymore. :rolleyes:
 
Sometimes it happens, and usually I'm in a good mood, and it won't bother me and I think "They're having a bad day." Today, for example, we were at Walmart and in the parking lot, someone was trying to back out of his parking space and two cars were blocking his way, while another car with a woman inside was trying to come toward him from the other side, so it was quite a jam. She just kept hitting her horn hard like there was no tomorrow. The poor guy finally backed out and she pulled in to the space next to his, and I wondered "What difference did a few seconds more make to her? The poor guy wanted to leave." What would I have done if someone honked their horn hard like that? I might have gone out and politely talked to them and said, "I'm trying to get out of here as fast as I can. Thank you for your patience." But it hasn't happened yet.:)
 
I usually don't take it personally. It's just a lot of idiots out at one time. Think of it as a challenge where your task is to avoid them... stay alert, look ahead of you so you can slow down in time or speed up to get around them, or go down a different aisle at the grocery store. It's like a game... Avoid the idiots game! And if you make it all the way back home without any major inconveniences, you win! :ROFLMAO:

Unfortunately, we living in a world with a lot of hate, confusion and misery.
Everybody is having a struggle of some sort but how they react causes trouble with others. Some just do not know how to have compassion for others.
This is especially shown through the business of the season. I try to shop early in order to avoid being confronted with such people. More peaceful that way.
 
We had a series of wrong turns yesterday looking for someplace to have lunch on the way to Joeys. Changed lanes in front of a car whose early Xmas present was a horn 😂. Oh, well. Then we gave up and decided to just eat at Ikeas. But we couldn’t get there.

Had to back track quite a way to get to the other side of the freeway, then drive the same distance back to finally get to ikea, have a late lunch, and realize they did not have the container we wanted in the color we wanted. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But have decided to go back and get the other color.😏

Got to Joey”s-finally. Only to realize he had gone to a Xmas party and was not there. Still, did some more work on his room. Needed the closet door removed, but the house manager acted like he would be arrested and jailed if that happened even though we assured him doors can be put back on. So, a no go. We did not have time to pick up Joeys groceries. Have to do that today.

Back to Joeys tomorrow. So yes, it seems like what can go wrong does and I’d rather stay home in my recliner and watch tv. But, another few days and his room should be set. However, there is always a silver lining somewhere.

Found a pie shop, that makes small individual pies. Going back today and getting a pie to stuff in my face. 😊
