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?

Thank you both.
I came home ranting to my husband and although he understands to a degree I'm not sure he could fully comprehend why I was so very wound up - like a spinning top about to take off.
So I came here as I know that this is a place of understanding.
Autonomistic said:Your mention in the 'spare a thought' thread has tempted me out of hibernation too.
That's made my day.
Welcome back
I have this vision of your husband hiding under the kitchen table with a large upturned saucepan held tightly on his head.

LOL.
That's not far from the truth.
I transform into a monster when stressed (or angry).

Yes, that's very interesting.
I am doing similar and in fact my great nephew is presently being assessed (at around 6 years) for autism ...
