Retail Pyschosis

Sometimes shopping is fun. I typically hate shopping for clothing now, which really wasn’t the case when I was smaller younger. I think the significant difference between when I was smaller younger and now that I’ve gained about half a small child in weight gotten older I just can’t ever find what I’m looking for. Please, enlighten me on something; why is it that all the stylish clothing are meant for those of a less heifer-like stature but when one peruses the sizes there’s only the fuckin’ sizes zero and one remaining? Doesn’t that maybe tell the purchasers or designers something?

But I digress.

I also do think it’s significantly due to the lack of consideration from my fellow shoppers; not just for myself, but for those around as well. There’s just an all around deficiency of manners which has increased significantly over the years. Who knows, maybe I just notice it more as I get older but no one holds doors for people anymore, the able bodied people cram into an elevator as fast as possible just to get fifty paces ahead, yet they’re no further ahead than if they had taken the damn stairs that one floor. Instead they’ve otherwise taken that spot from a mother with a small baby in a stroller or an elderly person who can’t walk that flight of stairs. Society has just become lazier, more self endulgent and compassion for others is a thing of the past.

I was raised to understand the importance of manners and respect; I can’t even bring myself to treat people with disrepect. I feel guilty and ashamed if I don’t hold a door for someone, I don’t know how people can behave like this on a regular basis.

What brought this on? Some stupid lady that parked in the last family parking space at IKEA and she didn’t even have children.

I wanted to rip her hair out as I lugged my infant carrier out of the car, but instead? I bought ice cream.

Let that be a lesson you family parking space stealing bitch.
