OTHERS!

Do you ever find yourself in public places and wanting to shout out "OTHERS!"? For example, when old men have their grocery carts in the middle of the aisle while they carefully deliberate over which brand of instant coffee to select, I want to shout "OTHERS!" Or when I'm on an elevator and the doors open and 23 tweens all step into the elevator without first allowing me to exit - OTHERS!

Is it just me?

  2. I like to start talking to my kid really loudly at moments like the grocery store -sort of my passive-agressive "notice me, notice me" phase.

  3. I feel like that all the time in the grocery store, but my husband says that I am normally the oblivious one, so I probably make others want to yell at me all the time. I sure hope not!

  4. It's not just you! On the college campus where I teach, pedestrians are seriously endangered by oblivious bicyclists. I have fantasies of kicking the bikes over as they ride by (after I've jumped aside to avoid being run over) and then bending down, smiling sweetly, and saying, "Oh dear! Didn't your mother teach you to look where you're going?"
