Think about the words that spring to your mind when I say "Christmas" or so that I don't offend.."Holidays". Most people will say love, friends, family, giving, sharing, and a range of religious terms. Did anyone think: rude, irritating, and inconsiderate? Probably not, but I shall now tell you why those words are coming to my mind.
Did you know that when you are Christmas shopping you are allowed to automactically forget to say excuse me, please and thank you? In fact, you do not have to have any regard for anyone crammed into the same small aisle at Wal-Mart that you are in. You know that person who is standing next to you and the minute they have decided that they are done examining the 3 million kinds of razors on the shelf in front of them and they finally reach out for the one they hope their husband would like, you can reach in front of them so abruptly and without saying a word that you cause the box to fall out of their hands and before they can look up you are already pushing your cart down the aisle, knocking into the heels of old ladies. Well, if you didn't know...apparently you can. Oh....if you really want to top it off--please allow your runny-nose, hair-a-mess, (eating candy you probably haven't paid for yet) screeching 6 year-old witness this event and then follow you laughing saying "mama, you made her drop it hahahaha". This is REALLY icing on the cake.
You can also get in line and while you stand there for an hour wondering why you didn't order everything online and suddenly you spot something 5 aisles away that you can't live without...no need to ask the person behind you if they can hold your spot, you can just step out of line, grab your item and then come back and scream at the person that was behind you for daring to put their items on the conveyor belt...because that was your spot? Ummm....didn't you and all your crap just leave 5 mintues ago??
Oh, and lets revisit that traffic issue...remember when you saw people trying to merge into traffic in the dark night with the fog rolling around and you thought to yourself "I should let at least one or two people in"? Uh, no need now! It's Christmas time so you can be an asshole and roll up as close as you can to the bumper in front of you to ENSURE no one else can get in...I mean, your errands are WAY more important right?
I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew that manners and oh, I don't know, being an overall decent human being is not a requirement at this time of year. Happy Holidays!!
