I think it is going to be a cranky weekend...(LONG)

I just came back from Target...why do my kids give the cats the last bit of food and not tell me, lol? So my poor babies followed me around looking pitiful and fat, they are now sunning themselves in my office. I arrive at the plaza in a good mood but a little shaken as I had seen an elderly lady that had been in an accident and she looked so scared...as I pull into said parking lot a lady in an Expedition hightails it into a front row space almost knocking out a door on her way in all the while talking on the phone. She doesn't like her position so she hauls it back out and almost hits me all the while talking on her phone. I park, far away from her lol, and walk past her car as she is swinging a newborn in a carseat out of the car and into a carriage-I saw the baby later it was a newborn. I go into the store and go in search of catfood and other items on my list and here she comes. Get this...while walking in the middle of the main lane of the store she is still talking on the phone and says I will give you my atm # and proceeds to do just that. OK call me crazy but is she nuts??? Everyone within earshot heard her number and exp. date loud and clear as she said it not once but twice. I head far far away over to the Christmas section and there is some lady letting her kid hang over the front of the little car attached to a carriage. He almost gets knocked on the head and a clerk comes over and politely excuses himself and tells her her child cannot hang over the seat like that-this is the store's carriage and car-she gets angry and says she can do what she wants. He politely tells her it is store policy and if she would like him to get a manager to explain it he will. She says yeah and as he is calling she walks away. Manager comes they have a discussion and he is supported but lady is no where to be found. Yet...that is. She goes and gets a store security guard and proceeds to tell him how rude the clerk was and that she can do what she wants. He aplogizes and says he will take care of it. I am in shock. I knew where the guard would be standing and on the way out I stopped and explained what I saw and said that I thought the clerk should not be reported. He said he knew he had seen the whole thing and was actually on his way to speak to her. As I approached my car there she is with that big carriage and who is hanging over the front of the little attached car??? Some people never learn!
Sorry this was so long.

Don't let it get to you! People are crazy these days, esp. with the holiday shopping rolling in.

I just smile and thank God that I am not them.

Don't let them get you down. Keep your head up and smile. Some people just never learn......

Around Christmas time, I expect everyone to be in a hurry and impatient before I leave my home. I remember to breath...I tend to forget when nervous/anxious..., just think that they're probably frazzled and tired and, I play soothing Christmas music. I keep reminding myself to stay calm and not let it get to me.

Mostly, I just try to avoid going out. I'm already done with my gift shopping. I just have my weekly grocery shopping to deal with.

There's nothing to say to this. Just shake your head in awe and disbelief. I'll never get some people.
