Last night I was pulling into the parking lot at Albertsons... I mean A Fresh Market, since that is what we are calling it these days. Anyway, there was a shopping cart someone had left out in the middle of the lot. From the corner of my eye, I saw a woman walking in that direction with her cart. I had the thought, "Yes, because two carts left out in the middle of a parking lot is better than one. Just because somebody else did it, doesn't make it right. Why can't you just return your cart?"
And then the woman pushed both carts to the designated "cart return" area. And I felt really stupid.
So I would like to apologize to Parking Lot Lady for my snap judgment. She is clearly a much better person than I will ever be. And since I am offering up apologies, I would also like to say sorry to a guy I work with. When I saw him walking through a grocery store parking lot on Monday, I thought about how fantastic it would be to run him over with my car. What, you've never had a co-worker you wished would suffer an unfortunate accident? Come on now.
The moral of the story is that I am not as nice a person as I would like to be. But maybe I can try harder to "focus on the positive" today.
