Yesterday, I parked the car in the half-empty garage by the supermarket, ran up, tossed a few things into my basket and came down to a ticket. Where I live, that would be around 100 (ONE HUNDRED!) in US dollars. I had forgotten to set the little watch to indicate when I had arrived.
Waaaaaah!
Today, I dashed over to our local hardware store. Amazed that there was a spot right by the door, I parked in the otherwise full lot. Got a cart (you throw in a coin worth about 2 US Dollars as a deposit, you get it back). Approaching the entrance, a man shot me a dirty look. “You know, there is a lot of handicapped people who could use that lot, it is for handicapped, you know?”
Feeling embarrassed I had overlooked the huge handicapped sign, I stuttered: “Gosh, really, I didn’t even notice..” And then he started talking about what a FUCKING idiot I was.
Amazed at his reaction, I stood there, watching him. Badmouthing me. He clearly thought I was a big idiot. Finally, fury took over, and I told him to “fucking relax, asshole”, as I left my cart and went to move my car.
Parked in the next #ωψ€%& block, I went back and someone had naturally taken my cart and my two dollars.
Waaaaaaaah!
I am staying in for the rest of the weekend. 🙁

You do know, don’t you, that it was the schmuck who found it worth berating you who stole your cart? What some people won’t do for $2
Don’t beat yourself up. You’re human, after all. Not so sure about the afore-mentioned schmuck.
