Have you ever been in the 'supposed to be moving' carpool lane only to have someone decide to 'park' their car IN the carpool lane and go inside for their child, forcing every other car to navigate around them? This happened to me the other day. Fun, stuff. People like that make me laugh. I have to stop and think to myself "Seriously?"
I was in Wal-Mart tonight (feel for me). I often see people on their cell phones, perhaps checking with their spouse to see if an item is needed, desperate calls from kids telling mommy that there's no more ice cream and could she please bring some home. You've all seen that. I'm sure you've also seen those moms or dads who are trying to carry on a casual conversation while shopping with kids in tow. I feel for those kids, especially if they act up to get attention, only to get in trouble and watch mommy or daddy get back to their phone conversation. I've seen it all, or so I had thought.
Tonight, there was a grandmother pushing TWO carts, with TWO children, one in each cart. She was trying to have a conversation on her cell phone. Seriously. The little boy dropped a small toy on the floor and the grandmother proceeded to yell at him. Now, if you think like me, you are probably saying to yourself, "Gee, Grandma, get off your cell phone and pay attention to the TWO carts and TWO kids you have with you." But, no, she continued to yell as she picked up the toy, threw it in the cart, and then proceeded to turn both carts out of the aisle, all while still talking on her cell phone. Poor kids.
I could go on, but I'll refrain and leave some thoughts for another day.
