Things I'm mad about today

Yesterday, I enter a convenience store. A young woman inside is talking on her mobile phone with one item in her hand. As she's ambling towards the cashier, she pauses to peruse candy. I step around her. She speaks loudly to the phone, "A man cut in front of me. I am going to take my rightful place in line." She shoulders past me. I state, "You appeared to be shopping, still." She repeats my words into the phone, then says aloud, "You should have axed me." I replied, "You were on the phone, ma'am. You are still on the phone." Another clerk opens a register and beckons the woman forward. Soon, I am served. As I approached the exit, this same woman (still on the phone) grabs the door handle from behind me and pushes through the exit. I step aside for another woman trying to enter. She thanks me. The rude woman on the phone says, "You're welcome."

People talking on the phone while checking out at a grocery or convenience store makes me want to smack them in the back of the head and tell them to get off the phone so everybody doesn’t have to wait on your dumbass to try to checkout while talking to somebody else. And yes I did get the axing nuance.

Ethnicity doesn't matter. Once, at the airport, a blonde professional woman is blocking me from my bag while engrossed in conversation on her mobile. I try reaching around her back and get the glare, so I "invade her personal space" and speak politely but loudly towards the phone, "Excuse her for a moment," then ask the woman to move so that I could retrieve my bag. Glaring at me, she pauses before moving to allow me to reach my bag. The sense of entitlement and the disregard for those in one's immediate proximity is ever more widespread.

Here’s what I’m mad about today. Been grinding this axe for a while...
People who try to get on the elevator before letting people off. Same goes for trains in the airports.

On a funnier note, I always laugh inside when I enter the jetway from the outside after doing a preflight walk around and passengers that are boarding clearly maneuver to cut me off, afraid I’m going to get in front of them. Do they think I’m going to take THEIR seat?? Lol.

I'm mad we have a circuit down in California which is affecting several of our internal applications and not allowing me to properly finish our day.
