Lethal Weapon...

"I'm gettin' too old for this shit." If you watch those Lethal Weapon films, that's always the line Danny Glover says whenever there's some big ass shoot out, explosion, or whatnot.

Gahhhh, so much nonsense lately! It is so frustrating and draining to encounter so many negative and condescending folks. Whatever happened to a little patience? Not shooting the messenger? Last night after class, I made a pit stop at Safeway to pick up some late dinner items. There were only three checkers open, so the lines were pretty lengthy. Anywhos, at the front of the line that I was in, there was this woman bitching and moaning about how the clerk was ringing up her items and how come she couldn't get something that wasn't on sale for a discounted price. The clerk was waaaay polite to her and tried to explain why the item wasn't ringing up at the sale price, but the woman could have cared less. I don't know why people feel that yelling and being an ass towards someone is gonna get their point across. As I stood in line, I could feel my blood pressure begin to rise, because:
a. I felt bad for the clerk that had to work until midnight and this woman chooses to be an inconvenience.
b. It's getting hella late and I still have some homework to do and this lady is holding the line up.
c. I had to go to the bathroom hella bad and this lady is holding the line up!
Even though this woman was like in her 60s, she really needed to grow up. But then again, who knows what kinda of drama and issues may have been going on in her life and whatnot... so I gotta be openminded in that way. However, her behavior was still no excuse.

It's funny how your tolerance can change over the years. How something when you were like 5 or 6 years younger would totally piss you off, but today is not a big deal; or vice versa.

Dayum, I hope that I can still maintain my emotional and mental balance. But if I start pouting and bitching about nonsense when I'm 60 or 70... heaven help me!
