whisper2ascreamOk, for those who haven't finished their Christmas shopping yet? Please for the love of God, AVOID THE MALL if you possibly can. It's insane. There's lines all over the place, and it's like an obstacle course. Especially once you're weighted down with packages. I had to go to the card shop three times. Why? Ok, line of thinking went something like this:
1) Gotta get cards for friends... finds some, yay, get in line, pays, leaves.
Walks around, realize presents work better when they're wrapped.
2)Go back to the store, find gift wrap and name tags, get in line, pays, leaves.
Walk around again, and then remember one of the whole points of coming over to the mall was cards for the parents.
3)Go back to the store AGAIN, find cards, get in line, pays, leaves.
HALLEJULAH, done!
Our college was doing free shuttle service to the mall today, so that was a good deal there. But when I got back on the bus to head back to campus, the bus driver was pulling the bus around, and then had to come to a stop.
You know why? Because there was some idiot double park in the middle of that lane of parking lot. The driver honked his horn repeatedly but THEY WOULDN'T MOVE. I got up from my seat to look, and then noticed something to my left. (Was sitting toward the right). There was a car pulling out of a spot right there. (The idiot in the white car in the middle of lane was waiting on a freaking parking space, just because it was close to the freaking Sears store, and didn't want to lose it! And it's not like there weren't spots further back, they were just being lazy and didn't want to walk that far.) Around the middle of bus or so, and having a hard time maneuvering since the bus was stuck there. Finally the one car pulled around left, the moron in the white car zoomed around the bus for their precious space, and we got the hell out of there.
And people wonder why there's so much stress during the holidays?
