We were in the Target realm on Saturday night, acquiring the goods that make the house run smoothly and keep the cats from eating the dogs and vice versa. Patrick had the cart, with baby secured in the front compartment. I have never used the front compartment for a child before, I always thought it was for eggs and other breakable items. I guess children are breakable...
Now, I constantly belch steam every time I come home from Target after shopping excursion. I can't stand if I am trying to get an item, and someone is either having a gab session with someone else or they are on their cell phone and are busy being completely oblivious to their environment and me who is trying to acquire a good from behind their butt. Generally I am forced to ask them to move and they always look all offended. Well gosh, I am sorry but when it requires me to reach between your legs to get yogurt, I rather would not, thanks!
Patrick, got a full taste of this stupid dish on Saturday night. He rounded a corner, into one of the BIG middle aisles. The type of aisle one could probably land a light aircraft in, if needed to and the aisle had two groups of people in it in with two carts...yes, blocking the aisle. If we wanted around, Patrick would have to back the cart up, go up to a smaller aisle and around. So basically circumnavigate the globe. Patrick stood there for a moment, and these lovely aisle hogs did not move or pay attention. Then Patrick finally said, "excuse me?" The aisle hog man turned, said "ok" and moved his cart just enough so that Patrick could scoot through. Wrong response idiot...you should say "Sorry." "ok" is not an appropriate response. We were not the ones hogging the aisle, you were.
I am pretty certain at this point in time, human courtesy is completely trashed. My faith was slightly restored this morning, when I went to get coffee and snacks for the girls and a nice lady went out of her way to open the doors for me at Starbucks.
