Impatient People

If there is one thing that irritates me most, I would have to say it is impatient people.

I was at Wal Mart the other day. Every where I was there seemed to be someone with little or no patients. I saw a woman with one of those self propelled carts and this person was trying to maneuver around the end of an isle. Another person was trying to go down the isle she was coming out of. This other person seemed to be quite agitated, like your in my way move that thing so I can get on with my shopping. The other person sighed and waited for the woman to move her mobile cart. You could tell that she was irritated.

Later after I was done with my shopping I went to the check out. I got in line behind an older couple. As usual there were more people try to check out then there were cashiers. This line was fairly long and moving quite slow. As the line progressed the couple started placing their items on the conveyor belt in preparation for check out. The man kept looking at his watch. He seemed irritated. The people just ahead of the older couple was having problems with their credit card and the cashier had to call for some one to help her. This really upset the man and he looked at his watch again then stated " we have a Drs. Appointment in ten minutes." I thought to myself , then what are you doing here ? The cashier started to run the credit card again and still had a problem and had to call for help a second time. The man walk around the people ahead of him and told his wife " lets go, you have an appointment in ten minutes with the Dr.". Help came, the cashier was able to clear the problem, and able to rerun the card. The older couple was able to purchase their items and depart.

Later on my way home it seemed like people were in such a hurry that I had to be on the look out for them to keep from having an accident. It was like they owned the road and was saying watch out for me cause I'm coming through. By the time I got home three people had either pulled out in front of me or passed and stopped abruptly so they could make a turn. It was like they were waiting for me.

I guess my point for this blog is to say plan ahead so you are not rushed. Life is short and important. Why put yourself and others at risk to save a couple of minutes. Take the time to see what is going on around you or you may not see anything anymore.

Have a blessed day.
