...especially around the holiday season.
i was at the grocery store earlier getting some, well, groceries. so as i was walking down the aisle, which tapers off to a narrow end, this rather large lady decided to park her cart horizontally, blocking the entire end. behind me were 2 other customers with carts trying to go through. i took it upon myself to say "excuse me" to which she replied "I AM SHOPPING HERE!". i was confused, i didn't think i was being rude, so i said "uhm, can you move your cart? we need to get through" and i motioned to the pile up behind me. in my head i was thinking it really can't be too much of a task for this lady to move her cart a mere 2 feet. apparently it was. she snapped back with the same remark as before, "I AM SHOPPING HERE!"
i was already irritated. i was already given dirty looks by like 2 other people when i politely asked them to move their carts from the middle of the aisle. so i took it upon myself to move the cart a good 10 feet away from her. she gave me the dirtiest look ever. i gave her a snarky smile. :)
now, is it just me, or do people seem to be bitter during the holidays? i feel like it's their way of releasing the stress of spending money on presents and such. the only nice person i encountered today was the butch lady at the checkout stand.
and i wanted to add the poor planning of my grocery store. they decided to put their holiday display of giftcards right in the entrance/exit area. there was this mob of people circling the damn display while people were trying to come in or go out. and if you asked them to move, the took half a step to opposite direction. idiots, i swear.
