For many people, Grocery shopping is thought of as a routine task in our everyday lives necessary to put food on the table; I consider grocery store shopping to be a maddening experience. For example, grocery store parking lots where most of the vacant parking spaces are occupied by abandoned shopping carts because some insensitive shopper couldn’t spare an extra ten seconds of their day to return something back where they found it, the audacity of people, it’s enough to make my blood pressure sky rocket. To illustrate further, several days ago while patiently waiting for a parking space, I observed a scruffy middle-aged man sporting brown, wavy hair sort of a stocky fellow, over-dressed in an expensive trench coat, unpacking his shopping cart. Slyly eyeing his surrounding’s to see if anybody is eyeballing his every move, like a fox seeking its prey, he quickly slithers into his car and ditches the cart right in the middle of the vacant spot I wanted to occupy, causing me to stop, get out of my car, and remove something that some inconsiderate numbskull could not be bothered to do. Additionally, parents that allow their children free will to run wild through the store, with no boundaries, screaming an ear deafening pitch, and leaping out in front of a swiftly moving shopping cart destroying products on the shelf creating a colossal mess, causing me to feel like the hair on my skin is standing straight up. I could practically feel steam coming out of my ears and my face was a hot gleaming red. Finally, witnessing shoppers stationed in the express lane, grocery carts chockfull from top to bottom, ignoring the large neon lit sign limiting the cart to fifteen items or less, displaying no regard for the patrons behind them that actually do have fifteen items or less, is enough to make my blood pressure escalate. Therefore, as illustrated in the three examples, I find the incidents I encounter while grocery shopping, to be a maddening experience.
