Anybody else getting annoyed with all the rude, inconsiderate folks in just about every retail store known to man? People are just plain ridiculous. They have no consideration for others. I think we should revisit the lessons taught in elementary school on "personal space". Everyone has their own personal space...a bubble, if you will, that we as fellow humans should be aware of when rubbing shoulders with each other out in the world. Ladies, when you are standing at a rack of clothes and you are moving through the clothes faster than the person you are swiftly approaching...it is NOT acceptable to reach in front of them or ever-so-slightly nudge them out of the way! I was looking at some sale stuff the other day (Sales - where most of these offenses happen) and this lady moves in front of me...moving me out of the way so she can grab something that is directly in front of me. I didn't move and kept looking at her until we made eye contact. I said, "you really want me out of your way don't you?". She replied surprised, "I would NEVER tell you that"...to which I said back, "well you kind of just did, didn't you?" This little exchange did not change her actions though. She just kept right on grabbing items that, if you could look at this scene from a personal space point of view, were inside my bubble. Same thing happened today, I was at Target looking through the little dollar section at the front of the store (which I love by the way)...and again, a woman squirms right in front of me, requiring me to move out of her way, so she could get something out of a bin. I stood there amazed that she felt this was ok. She refused to look at me though and this little stand off was getting out of hand so I huffed and walked away. Seriously lady...are you kidding me. It's dollar store junk...there's enough for everyone. GET OUT MY BUBBLE, YO. I think I need to start speaking up when this happens. Maybe people aren't aware of what they're doing. OR maybe people just don't care since it's 2012...the year the world will end. Whatever.
So while at Target, I scored some Christmas ornaments for the game room at 90% off. I only pushed 3 people out of my way to get them...Project 365: Day 201
