I know that people are a bit more on edge right now with the situation with phones acting up and the Northern Lights being visible like they are but that is honestly no excuse for rudeness in the grocery store. And neither is age when you get right down to it. I understand that no one likes waiting in line I really do but when I’ve got one item and your cart is almost overflowing - don’t berate me for refusing to let you go ahead of me in the line. In the amount of time you spent screaming about me being ungrateful and rude - I could have completed my purchase and been gone.

Ugh. People can be rude and annoying at the best of times. And sadly, any time there is any kind of oddness, people are worse. Not all, but enough.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Just incredibly annoyed by that woman. I understand that she's older and generally I'd have allowed her to go ahead of me but it just didn't make sense to do it this time.

People are sometimes just caught up in themselves. They don't want to hear anything but that you will do what they want.

Unfortunately that's true.

Then there's not much you can do but be nice, but firm with them, and hope they either leave or get the message.

I barely was able to stop myself from snapping at her when she started yelling at me. I just ignored her until I finished my transaction and then left.

I'm glad you managed to.

I hope whatever is making people irritable stops soon.

I hope it does too. I'm worried that my own temper will slip around my students.

Hopefully your good nature will help.

Thank you Presto. I'm hoping you're right. And hoping that the principal understands the number of crafts we're doing right now. The kids aren't really up for lessons with this madness and we're ahead in the curriculum anyway. As much as we can be at this age.

How are you holding up with this madness?

It's a bit crazy. I'm taking a break from things because it's all been a little much.

I can understand that I think. It helps to talk to friends when things get like that for me.

Yeah.

I think that's a good idea.

Thank you.

And so do you.

Thank you.

If this ends soon, we should totally catch coffee, or maybe tea. My sort of girlfriend(I'm still kind of figuring that part out) keeps introducing me to new teas. And there is a good tea shop down 17th.

I haven't found a good tea shop since I came back to Orange County. We should definitely meet up and check it out when this ends. Because it has too soon. I don't think anyone will stay sans otherwise.

oh no! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, ugh people can be so mean sometimes!

Give me my students any day - at least when they're being mean I can do something to try and get to the root of whatever's causing it.

You know, I've noticed that people that complain the most about other people being entitled, rude, ungrateful... they're pretty much just reflecting themselves on to whoever they're yelling at.

I've noticed that a few times myself unfortunately. And if it's pointed out to them that they're behaving in the same manner that they're complaining about it's denied by them.

Oh no, because it couldn't be them at all. There's nothing wrong with them, it's clearly everyone else.

Oh obviously. How could I have forgotten this life truth?

I have no idea, after all everyone should know who they are.

I've been horribly insensitive not knowing who perfect strangers are.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]damnrichpeople
2017-04-28 01:41 am UTC (link)
And how much more important than everyone else they are?

I have no idea. Just remember next time that they are the most important person in the store, if not the entire state.

I'll try to remember that if I run into her again.

That's awful. I hope the next person she screams at - pays in change and takes a really long time to count it.

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]gracefulmaiden

And then the cashier has to count it themselves to make sure it's correct before putting it in the drawer.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]abigail_hobbs

And double check it with a manager.

I'd forgotten that step.
