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?
Your post made me smile and chuckle! Thanks, I needed the stress relief
Like someone said, it sounds like you vented out your frustration: lol.
My sister does do Christmas shopping months in advance. Maybe to avoid a similar situation you could consider doing the same (I couldn't, but maybe you should consider it if you cannot handle crowds, and buy online for special items)
By the way: people always drive recklessly in the UK that's nothing new. In my country, English citizens are renowned as excellent, respectful, safe drivers. I made my assessment on that one! *laugh
