So my oldest had a recital tonight, the entire 4th grade put on a chorus/violin thing that was actually pretty good. I'd say perhaps 200+ people came to watch etc. At the end of it all, everyone gets up to leave and it's a mad dash to get out the door, people pushing their way through.
There is a women with 3 kids and a stroller trying to get out, people just keep walking around her, in front of her like she's not standing there. Not that I expect anyone to remember post of mine from a while back, but I felt another Walmart scenario coming. My teeth started to grind, veins in my neck started to pulse and I had to say in a semi-booming voice "Can everyone please stop pushing ahead and let this mother with kids and stroller get out of here".
200+ people suddenly got quiet, and everyone from her to the door to get out even made a path. I mumbled something about people being nothing but self-absorbed and never mind it was the holidays.
What was funny is when I asked for everyone to stop moving, my oldest actually said "Oh I know that voice", which I tried not to chuckle at.
I mean seriously, look around you once in while. Make sure you're not cutting in front of someone, don't take 10 minutes at a express check out line, use your F**King directional while you're driving, don't talk on your cell phone while at a restaurant and if you have to don't talk so loud the person at the other end can hear you without the phone, help an elderly women reach that top shelf to get laundry detergent (don't walk by her looking away so you can pretend you don't see her) toss some change in the salvation army pot, if you don't have change, ask for some while you're buying your $300 iPod.......sorry but I really ****ing hate people sometimes.
Rant over.
