made a big mistake today

i was being kind to a elderly nieghbour, she wanted a pack of vhs tapes from town.
omg why did i say yes to this?
town was packed, parking the car was done with miltary precision, i.e we both scan every space, and if it is 60 cm bigger than my car we would have it. heaven help anyone that tries to nick it as well.
waiting for the lift down to the shopping mall. we went up 3 floors down 2 floor, back up again, then down to the ground floor.
we then proceeded to elbow our way through the crowds to the shop. i have a bruised ankle from the bloody shopping trolleys that ran into me.
we then goy the tapes, they aint out of stock, hooray. but there is a little old lady in front of me, she cant rememeber her pin number. sharon stay calm,i said to myself, she will get it in a minute.
she cant remember it so trys to pay by cash, after fumberling through her handbag she decides she hasnt got enough money and tells the cashier she will have to use the hole in the wall. but she cant remeber her pin number.
our turn at the till. the till receipt runs out, this is a 10 min job to replace as the bloke put it in the wrong way.
we get back to the car park, only to find some inconsiderate person had parked so close to my car that i had to get in the passenger side and climb over.


next time someone else can go into town.

pass me the coffee please
 
Ohhh man Sharon! That sounds like a bad day! Try to do something nice and it ends up sucking... Sorry Sharon!

A couple weeks ago I had someone park really close to my car so I wrote them a note that thanked them for being horribly inconsiderate. Made me feel better!
 
Merry, it was so kind of you to go out of your way for your elderly neighbor.
Just remember...whatever you put out there comes back to you tenfold.
You have such a giving spirit!
And isn't that what Christmas is all about? :)
I'll bet that elderly neighbor is thrilled!!
 
Christmas month is not the time to go into town especially weekends, which I avoid. I have done some errands for an older couple but only if I am going in for myself, 45 min away to the big town. Just know you did your deed for the day, you should be proud!
 
Sometimes internet shopping has its benefits - I fully empathize in the progress we have made to make shopping a fun experience
 
I just can't stand bad drivers and bad walkers. No bipedal creature seems to know how to use their own two feet or think to get out of the way, and when they are using those two feet to drive a four-wheeled vehicle, it's the same issue, only they're deadly. Everyone tailgating, no signals, disobeying traffic laws/signs, speeding, etc...

I am also one who rather likes online ordering, but sometimes you just have to go out for some things or some sales (mainly clothes and food, IMO)...

I was reading and reading and waiting for you to say you had an outburst at the old lady, saying something you regret to her, but you kept your cool quite well. :D Well done, and very kind of you.

You guys call ATM's a "hole in the wall" over there? That means something totally different around here...:ybatty:
 
Well, look at it this way...you could have had an attack of diarrhea while waiting in line or on the "lift" lol Things could always be worse! Glad you made it home safe and sound and next time, say "I'm not going anywhere near the video store, sorry"

As for the dumbass that parked and blocked you in......

You could have left them a note saying. "next time your gonna park this close would you be so kind as to leave me a f*%^ing tin opener !!!

Glad you made it home to the coffee

Hmmm, I'm thinking that might have been a *great* time to dump your bag Sharon......on their windshield! (brutal, I know - but it would have been funny to us right?).
