Went to lunch with D. On the way, saw a guy stopped at a red light decide to just go through the intersection. Lucky guy, didn't get hit, but I can't quite imagine what he was thinking. Caught up with him at the next light, which he did not run. Numerous other examples of poor driving on our sojourn.
Stopped for groceries, and the drivers of grocery carts weren't doing much better. Stopping, wandering, seeming to go, then stopping, then blocking my way. I waited for two elderly folks, jammed between them, and just as there was an opening, another woman came up behind me and tried to cut me off. As if I was just going to stand there, or something. I cut through and shook my head. Then the bagger saw my canvas Trader Joe's bags, and put the gallon of milk and orange juice carton in the cart, not in either bag. I told her to use the bags, I didn't have a car I would be walking. So she put both in one bag, and the other items stuffed in on top of the same bag. I gathered the rest, and moved away from the line to do a balanced packing. This Is Not Rocket Science, People! Even if I had the car, I'd have wanted to A. Use the bags brought and B. Keep the heavy items shared between. and C. Not stuff everything in one bag, when I have two.
Home is a haven from the multitude of intrusions of the inattentive and incompetent and idiotic. D and Moby are both very smart examples of their species.
Went to Roller Derby a week ago Saturday. Surreal for me, since I still felt awful, sore ears, stuffed head. But R and D got raffle tickets, one of them hit, and we got this T-shirt. It was a medium, so it became mine. Got to be my favorite one ever.

I too am occasionally flabbergasted by the inconsiderate actions that people perform. How is it that some people think they are the only ones to exist while others (like me) who feel it necessary to always try to be aware of the people around me?

I sense a bit of sarcasm. No doubt justified.
