People are Weird

Okay, so I haven't posted in awhile but I have been thinking about the blog...

You know you've been thinking about the blog too much when you have a dream and in the dream you think, I am going to blog about this dream, and how weird it is and you then work out your exact post in the dream. Yep. Happened last night, only the dream isn't so very funny to blog about. I mean it sort of is/was. If I have any requests for it, I'll post about it.

Anyway, people are weird.

So I go to the El Cheapo Gas Station today, and of course there is a line, since it is El Cheapo Gas. The person I choose to be behind in line is (no offense) an overweight man in a shirt that says "Scotsman for hire." Well, 'Ol Scotty is pumping his gas and cleaning his already clean looking back window. When his gas is finished, he hangs up the nozzle and proceeds to squeegee ALL the windows. Then a woman gets out of the car, looks at the pump number and goes in to pay? I don't know, but he just kept cleaning the windows even though I was clearly waiting, his windows were already clean, his gas was done pumping... and hello, I was waiting! In a minivan! Not some little car that he couldn't see... (I've heard that one before when a car backed into my OLDSMOBILE)

Another car had come up, pumped her gas and left during the time I was waiting for the Scotsman. In fact, I drove around used her pump, and Scotty drove off shortly before I did.

People are weird.

And then I had a playdate set up for today. Apparently the other mom's daughter fell asleep and would possibly not be up before our 3:00 playdate time. She said on her phone message she could come later but not too much later than that. So I am thinking like no later than 3:45 or even 3:30. When I talked to her on the phone she said if it's even 3:15 she won't make it because she has a lot to do. This to me seemed weird. If 3:15 is too late, then isn't 3 too late as well? Why did we set it up for that time if it ultimately was too late? Was she only planning on playing f0r 30 minutes? And she does live just down a couple streets. A 5 minute walk.

People are weird.

What do you think?

I hate shopping for that reason alone, that people are weird, or I'd even dare to say stupid and inconsiderate at times. The worst WALMART! Gotta love it for the prices, but not for the people who shop there. Whenever you are in a hurry, you just stuck behind a family walking around with two carts and blocking the aisle so you can't walk faster, you decide to go down another aisle to ditch them, to run into a lady looking at something and her cart blocking the rest of the aisle and doesn't notice you standing there waiting for her to move her stuff. The other day, while standing in line for self check-out, there was a lady that I thought was almost done, she had everything in her cart, so I assumed she was done. WRONG! She was taking out each item one by one to scan, pushed me the wrong way, but I thought I'd wait it out. Then she decided she would take 2 minutes to look at the gum and pick out two packs, couldn't she see me there with my kids and my little boy waiting and wanting to unload the cart? Needless to say, I was a little peeved, I ended up changing lines. I have very little patience when it comes to inconsiderate people

I can't stand WalMart for that same reason, House Warden! It's awful and it doesn't matter what WalMart you go to, they are all the same. I really don't understand people sometimes. They are WEIRD!

Is it me, or are they weirder here in Utah?

Oh yeah...with you on the lack of patience for strange people who show no consideration....

So I need to come see your house, give me a call and tell me when a good time will be.

did anyone ask yet for the dream interpretation? because that would definitely be bloggable.

If I can go to the store and not have a panic attack in the checkout line then it's a good day!
