Is It My Imagination?
A few days ago my fiance asked me to go to the grocery store and pick up a few things. I really didn’t feel like doing it, but like a good future husband I did what I was told and shut up about it.
I got in the car and drove down to the grocery store. As I parked I noticed a few spaces over a shopping cart sitting in a parking space. I’ve always found that that to be very annoying because someone was too lazy to put the cart back into the cart corral which was just a a few meters away.
But to make things more interesting a man drove up while talking on his phone, he pulled into the spot and used his car to push the cart into the row and got out and went into the store. My jaw just dropped to the floor. I got out of my car and grabbed the cart and put it into the corral. And here’s the kicker, when I walked in the store, I saw the man still talking on his phone and he had a shopping cart!
I’m still scratching my head on this one. People are just getting more rude and more selfish, which frankly I wouldn’t mind, but when your rudeness and selfishness start to impact other people, we have a problem. Just think of the people who were injured at Wal-Mart and a shopping mall last month.
You would think that with this being the Christmas season, people would behave a little better, but I guess that whole “good will towards men” adage it outdated.
