Mar. 20th, 2026 02:45 pmHad some spice tea. God, did I have a crazy morning. Normally in my bldg there are a bunch of grocery carts that the maintenance guys use to haul around stuff and us tenants use for laundry and to get groceries. The grocery outlet is several blocks away and for years you could use carts from other groceries and just take them and put them back later. Well, I was trying to do this when the damn cart freezes up completely when I haven't gotten to the store yet, in fact I haven't even gotten more than halfway across the parking lot. I consider trying to get another cart when I get into a conversation with a woman who had accidentally locked her keys in her car. I try to help but there isn't much I can do, then she says if I go in and get my groceries she'll give me a ride home if she's been able to get to her keys by the time I come out. So I go in and get my groceries and when I came out she had gone! I was so pissed.
Now you need to know one of the main reasons I don't have Uber is I haven't put my credit card on my phone because I'm too paranoid about my phone getting lost or stolen. So I tried to call a taxi and I had to call SIX taxi companies before one would even tell me they would come over there. Then they were at least 20 minutes late. By some MIRACLE, a lady drives up and offers me a ride. As we're driving out of the parking lot the damn taxi driver calls me and SAYS he's there. I got a very good look out of the woman's car windows and there's no taxi in the damn parking lot so I just tell the guy I already left. (I had also been standing in front of the grocery outlet for a VERY long time with my damn arthritis so my legs really fucking HURT. there are no benches or anything to sit down on in front of the grocery outlet).
oh, and I forgot the damn potatoes!
