I've just returned from the shops
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 went to a Supermarket which opens early, on Sunday, to avoid the big queue for Sunday Lunches; most people are either at Church/Mass, or still sorting out their kids.
Supermarkets in Northern Ireland only open from 1 pm to 6 pm, but the town I went to must have special permission to open early.
I also went to a Post Office, this morning, to post an Airmail Tracked gift to a friend from Toronto. The young woman working there didn't seem to have a Scooby. Plus, it was £11.05. Good Lord, almighty!
