Shopping at Christmas time - uuurrrggghhhhh!!!

I've just returned from the shops Scream

I try to do all my Christmas shopping presents online or by voucher nowadays.

However, I had to go to buy lunch.

I get a Sainsburys delivery but the food was from S+M today, so needed to be done by hand.

S+M + TK Maxx - not too bad but already too busy a few minutes after opening.

Sainsburys - mad.  Totally mad.

People walking into me, shouting, standing far too close.

It opens at 11am and by 11.05am the large car park was full and people were driving around with no care whatsover.

I had a car at my heels (obviously desperate for a space) as I walked back to my car but I couldn't walk any faster as there were people in front.

Then, when I pulled out the car that wanted my space was sitting where I needed to drive to actually go anywhere.

People driving at 60mph in a 30mph zone.

It's bonkers.  It's still November.

Why do people have no consideration, awareness, manners or spacial awareness at this time of year?

Also, why do people drive so recklessly?

  • I feel so sorry for you but I'll experience the same next weekend when I go shopping with my mum. Christmas shopping is the part of Christmas I hate the most! Everyone goes mental, busy shops and streets, everyone pushing all shoving, way too loud music and the amount of people is crazy insane.

    I much more prefer Christmas shopping online it's easier and much better doing it from the comfort of my room. Unfortunately my mum prefers shopping in town so normally I'll end up in there at least 5 times before Christmas Christmas tree
