Is it just me or………….?
I was wondering if these things just happen to me or is it commonplace. Should I just take a deep breath and not worry about it or should I let it get to me when it happens. I don’t know, maybe I need to see a therapist. But anyway, these things kind of bother me.
1. How is it that everytime I get into the Express lane at ANY store, the person in front of me either pays for it by check (which, of course, they do not even pull out until everything is bagged up and the total as been given to them five times) or they pay for everything using change? Maybe it’s just me.
2. Why does that person in the right-hand lane have to be in the left-hand lane RIGHT NOW even though he/she never makes a left hand turn once they get into that lane? Does their car pull to the left? Is the radio reception better in that lane? Maybe it’s just me.
3. OK dude, you have been in the line at McDonalds for five minutes now and have not even looked at the big menu behind the counter. Why do you wait until you get up there before you decide to scan the menu from left to right and back again? Have you never been to a McDonalds before? Do you really have to have a conversation with the cashier on whether it is a better buy to super-size you order? Maybe it’s just me.
4. How is it that the person, team, horse, car, or event that you decide NOT to bet on at the last minute always comes through and wins and the one that you bet on ends up just out of the money. Maybe it’s just me.
5. Haven’t seen rain in a while? No need to call a Rain dancer or anything like that. Just go out and start planting a garden, washing your vehicle, planning a picnic, travelling to a sports outing, or an outdoor reception/graduation. Maybe it’s just me.
I trully am not as uptight as I sound. It just seems that these five things happen more often than not. I do not let it bother me as much as it once did. However, give me a day where 2 or 3 of these happen and look out. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me.
