A Litte Consideration Please: The Supermarket Parking Lot
What is it about the supermarket parking lot that brings out the true nature in people? What am I talking about you ask?
Did you ever notice that in the supermarket parking lot, the rules of decency no longer apply? Examples of annoying behavior but are not limited to the following:
Although there are places that are clearly marked for returning your cart, people tend to leave them in the most convenient place for them…never mind that the stupid cart is rolling down the hill toward an oncoming car or person.
Crosswalks no longer apply to pedestrians or to drivers. Pathways although defined are avoided by shoppers seeking the most direct route to the door. Drivers seem to be blind to the brightly covered walkway insisting on the right of way.
The rules of being civil, allowing others to merge into traffic, pass and generally being nice also don’t apply, not to mention that the parking spaces are not necessary for the supermarket “VIPs”. They park in the fire lanes, to avoid having to walk to and from the parking lot. They get in your way as you try to leave the store and require you circumnavigate around them to get to your destination.
I believe in the rules of Karma and take comfort in knowing that for the incosiderates, their just desserts will be served.
