Dodge and Weave

Tis the season to be merry ... 


I went t the grocery store on Friday. I had to buy a few ingredients for the Christmas Eve dinner I was cooking. (That cooking is a whole post by itself!) When I get to the store there was not a cart to be found! (even though Ashley Swore that no one would be grocery store, because all food shopping would be done already!) I ended up having to settle for one of those with the attached infant seat. Now, it's hard enough for me to see over and standard cart! In addition the front of the cart is where I, typically, put all my items. Being 4' tall I need to improvise so I can access everything.


Well, using a cart that I could not see over, coupled with piling all my items in a "seat," made for an impossible trip. No one moved around me like they should have. I was in this, perpetual, dance of dodge and weaving. Needless to say a few people go hit! Hey if you don't dodge, I can't guarantee that I'll weave in time. 


While, I was in the toilet paper aisle I couldn't reach the four pack on sale!! That's typically not a huge deal for me. I turned to a man walking toward me and said "Sir, could you please had me the pack of toilet paper right there?" His eyes looked up at the toilet paper, then darted to me. As he glanced back up to the paper he said "I'm in a hurry" and walked past me! Now, unless you had plans to meet Jesus himself, how much of a "hurry" could prevent you from handing me something!


Every shopping trip for me includes, at least, 3 strangers handing me things. I've never had anyone tell me NO!!! 

Is it wrong that leaving the store I hoped that he fell, forgot to buy something, ran out of gas or got a flat tire? I wanted something to happen that would really cause him to be late!!
