So to be totally true and pure to myself, I am going to start my blog and end my night, with a mini-rant. This isn’t to say that I am an angry person or someone who complains often, depending on who you ask. I am just one of those types who lacks a lot of patience with other, hopefully/maybe/kinda-sorta, like-minded adults and their off spring in large public/private settings. I don’t like people who don’t know how to control themselves when in a public place, like Costco and its parking lot, and act a fool like they are the Queen/King of a small country.
I went to Costco today with my mother, for mainly household products and other things I wanted and didn’t need but bought because Costco is the damn Devil! Which I will touch on in another blog. But I swear, people in DC don’t know how to act after a minor snow. I could see if we had the major blizzard aka “Snow-mageddon” from 2009 or as I called it “The Fuckin Bullshit” because I was stuck in the house with my mother, my pets and 3 small children all under the age of 5 at the time. All DC had was less than a foot of snow and they’re at the store like they are trying to stock up for a total shut down. In the parking lot blocking aisles, fighting over parking spaces, cussing each other out over a space “closer” to the entrance. Even my own mother threw in her proverbial hat into the ring and I was like
“Really ma’am…its a parking spot. I want to get in and out because I know it’s going to be a mad house inside if it’s like this outside; I don’t have the time or patience for this foolishness.”
And as I predicted, it was fuckin insanity inside. People blocking aisles with their carts they walked away from, standing in the middle of an already narrow aisle having a full blown convo with somebody like there isn’t anybody trying to get by them, and the children. Now I love the babies, I really do; however, Costco on a Sunday, after a snow and preparing for another bit of snow,where people are trying to get in and out, is NOT the place for bad ass kids running around fuckin’ shit up along with my very limited patience!
The few highlights of my trip to Costco, was I got a great deal on a mac & cheese tray, I got my favorite lunch of a hot dog combo with deli mustard an hella onions and a Pepsi and a hot and fresh churro. I guess it’s the small things that count…eh
Sooo what did learn today:
- If a Sunday Costco run is a thing, go super early.
- If I must go to Costco after side-eye worthy weather, fight the urge unless it is truly necessary.
- Do not cuss shoppers out, in-front of their family, and almost cause a scene because they were being assholes and standing in the middle of the aisle talking and blocking the way, eve if you were right.
- If you turn up your music loud enough, you can drown out the noise and keep your patience in check.
- Cheap hotdog lunches and churros make everything better.
