One of Those Days

I am having one of those days. You know, the kind that everything you do is way more complicated than it should be. Things that normal take four steps take six and fifteen more minutes than they need to. I am having THAT day.

The lower shelf to my fridge broke while in the bathtub while I was cleaning it out. It broke into elventy billion pieces that managed to wedge themselves into my bathmat. I still do not know why I didn’t take out the bath mat in first place. Anyway, I had to throw away my new bath mat. Well, I needed a few other things like milk and barbecue sauce and I knew I needed to write a blog today too so I decided to go to wal-mart to ensure blogging material. Well, I got some, material, I mean.

I learned an important life lesson today. If you are having one of THOSE days, avoid wal-mart for all you are worth. Seriously, you should do whatever it takes to not go to wal-mart. I feel doubly foolish now realizing that my main reason for going was that I was bath mattless. No one needs an emergency bath mat. Anyway, let me explain my trip to wal-mart.

It started on the way there. Someone was crossing one of our main roads holding a gas can and smoking until he stopped in the middle of the road to answer a text. No freaking joke. I wondered where the hell Darwinism was with that one. I know Darwinism forgot the parking lot.

I go into the parking lot and start off one of the big two way rows like any sane person does and some jets out in front of me because they are driving their car through the empty spots instead of where you are actually supposed to drive. I called them a moron and went a long my way. When I went to  turn down another row someone was blocking the way because they went the wrong way. I drove on and went around trying to get to a row that started the other direction but a new moron had done the exact same thing.  I really wanted to stop my car and ask them how they did not notice they were going the wrong way. If you some how miss the direction that the cars are pointing or the common sense fact that parking lots have a tendency to be laid out in similar ways, there are FREAKING ARROWS to point you in the right direction. BIG FREAKING YELLOW ARROWS. I was hungry, I was annoyed, I needed a damn bath mat and I knew I still I had a blog to write when I got home before I could log on and see the fall out of something going on in my guild.

I get inside and things went much smoother. I nearly ran over a lady who stopped with out warning in the middle of a main aisle to talk to someone coming the opposite direction. She gave me a dirty look when she realized that there was nearly a shopping cart accident. I did not yell at her or strike her. I was kind of proud. The rest of my shopping went much smoother until the check out line.

Me: I have a 24 pack of diet coke here, need me to put it on the belt?

Cashier: No, No I can ring it up here.

Me: Okay

Me: (About halfway through the groceries) Did you get the diet coke?

Cashier: Not yet but I will at the end

(She finishes ringing me up and I swipe my card)

Cashier: SHOOT I forgot to get your diet coke and it is too late to stop the transaction.

Me: I have cash.

Not a big deal in the long run and it is something I have totally done. But on a day where you have to go to wal-mart because you broke a shelf from your fridge while you were cleaning it in your bath tub and the shards embedded themselves into your bathmat, It certainly annoying.
