This is something i shared with someone else, but I was going to share it here initially, so sorry if it doesn't make sense, but it was hard to write and I don't want to write it out again. Sorry if this explanation makes no sense.
Yesterday was a pretty bad day for me. In the span of two hours after work, so much went wrong. I had this idiot co worker who seems to think this exit only door is his personal door and keeps it open with a piece of cardboard. When I was leaving out it fell and he started yelling from his car. What pisses me off is that a) that is a safety issue and he and others really need to stop doing that and b) the entrance he should be using to go back is not that far away. And he is just so vain and loud all the time. Then, I went to gamestop to pick up something I ordered online that was on sale. As I was walking in, this guy was coming out and asked me if I had five dollars. I told him I did not. Then he asked if I had a card. I told him I didn't. These were both lies and I don't like lying like that. But you know what else I don't like? People I don't know asking me for money, especially for video game. Never have I had someone ask me for money for a video game like that. Yet, the thing that gets me is that I felt like the a hole for not giving him the money. Never mind there were other customers in there and never mind that he was with someone. Somehow, this made me feel like I should have done the "right thing".
And yet, it somehow gets even more ridiculous when I tried going to the grocery store across the street. The parking lot is such a pain to navigate through. I was going down this parking aisle where the arrow indicated it was a one way drive thru or whatever and yet someone from the opposite direction comes down right as I was about to turn into it. So I end up going down another aisle only for this big truck to start backing out and almost hit. I honked my horn and that's when I decided to just not even bother parking and left. And as I get to the end of the aisle where you have to stop as to not wait for traffic that is crossing, the big truck that was behind me decides to cut into the next aisle which was yet another one way drive thru. Because apparently having to wait a few seconds was just too much to do. I ended up going to the store downtown (I was in Simpsonville at the previous one). The woman in front of me thought it was a good idea to have her kid drink water and eat potato chips before they were rung up. She kind of held the line up because something was priced more than she thought or something, I don't know for sure but the cashier had to call someone over to take something off. She then proceeded to leave this little children's cart in the way as opposed to taking it back. I get it that the cart is there to keep kids occupied but it was inconsiderate of her to leave it in the way of other people who are in line. The person bagging groceries thought it was mine for some reason. I also realized later she also overloaded my bag because it later broke. And I usually find her to be a pretty good bagger, but this really added to the already difficult day.
Then there was the traffic getting back to my apartment. I don't know if it was because it was Monday but it was worse today either way. It barely moved and when I decided to take an alternate route, I was met with various construction taking place in an already narrow area because people just love to parallel park everywhere. And I also just love it when someone decides that rush hour traffic is the best time to go for a bicycle ride during said heavy traffic is a great and convenient idea. And yet, when I finally got to my apartment, i still could not catch a break. This girl decided to go for a stroll in my neighborhood and for whatever asinine reason, stopped right in front of my the driveway I had to park into, and then just proceed to just stare into space, oblivious of my car just a few feet away. I didn't honk at her, but eventually she came out of her trance and saw me gesturing for her to move. I'm actually surprised how quickly she did so.
You may think I felt better once I got inside, but no, I really didn't. That was because aside from all of that, my back has been hurting really bad since Sunday evening. And it continues to hurt now. So much so, I decided to once again call out from work. And while I feel bad for doing so, after how bad yesterday was, I really don't want to deal with anymore frustration and stress.
