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 managed not to kill someone who was very close to me the whole time I was trying to shop for individual Christmas cards today in a card shop.

    Never ever give me a gun.

    However, the upside is that I am not the poor clearly long-suffering husband who was with her, so I didn't have to go home with her.

    Because she loudly talked through her card purchases, constantly moaning, at everything and especially her silent husband ('well, you're not helping are you - I'm leaving you at home next year' - which I'm sure he'd be delighted by) I had to take my possible options down to the far end of the shop so that I could actually THINK.

  • Poor man lol xD I wonder if it was my dad lol.
