Disclaimer: In the following post I am going to vent about all the rude people that have been around me lately.
Either I have been running into a lot more rude people lately or I am just really grumpy. It is probably the latter. Soren has definitely been having to tell me to calm down quite a bit the last few days.
Today we went grocery shopping and I was standing at the deli waiting for help. Another women came over to wait at the deli a few minutes after I did. When an employee finally came over she asked the other woman what she needed help with. The other woman didn't bother to do the polite thing and let the person know I was there first. NOOOO, instead she went ahead and told the employee that she needed to place an order. OH MY GOSH, how rude can you be! I guess her time is just SO much more important than mine. Whatever, I thought at least the deli person would hand her the order form and help me while she filled it out. Boy was I wrong, the employee just stood there waiting for her to finish. After a few minutes of this I asked if there was anyone else that could help me. She said someone else should be over in just a minute. No one else came over so I had to wait until the woman was done placing her order. In the meantime another woman came over to wait at the deli. When the employee was done watching the women fill out a form she then asked who was there first. Um, maybe the woman that had asked five minutes ago if anyone was going to help her and not the woman that just walked up! I was so ready to just walk away and say screw it, but I really needed the stupid meat and I would have just had to come back later.
Another recent incident happened at the drive thru for Taco Bell. I had to wait behind a man for fifteen minutes while he decided what to order and just generally played with things in his car. I can't count the amount of times that he put on and removed his seat belt or leaned over to get something off the floor. What the heck was he doing! I would have left, but there was a car behind me so I couldn't back out. Don't people realize that if you don't have any frickin idea what you are going to order that you shouldn't choose the drive thru. GO INSIDE where people won't care if you stand around and decide what you want. The drive thru is for those of us that know what we want. Plus, I only go through the drive thru when I am in a hurry so I don't appreciate having to waste my time.
There are many more instances I could share, but I will stop there. Thanks for letting me vent and sorry if you have felt my wrath lately. I promise I am trying to get over my grumpiness and go back to being my usual laid back self.
