How I Became That Guy

Something has been bothering of late.

I am even having a hard time typing out what it is.

I.....

I became.....

Man this is hard.

I just have to say it so the healing can begin.

I,

I became,

I became that guy!

You know when you are old enough to start raising a family

and you find a job that you like so you start taking life seriously?

 You will work hard

and work long hours to give your family all the necessities in life.

For me,

it was 10 to 11 hours a day at work,

come home,

fix dinner,

wash clothes,

and try to take time out in my day to talk to each of my seven children.

That was my usual work day.

Then sometimes,

instead of shopping at the grocery store on my day off,

I would stop by a store to pick up a few things we needed after work.

And I was always in a hurry!

The most dreaded thing for me standing in line at the checkout was the

Old Person In Front Of Me!

Mind you,

my excuse has always been that I am in a hurry,

but the checkout person is taught to always be courteous to their customers

and they are told to ask the most

horrific,

hideous,

horrendous,

horrifying,

four words in the

English Language.

"How are you today?"

Twenty minutes later it would be my turn to check out.

 

 This is,

Not A Picture Of A Line Due To Covid

This Line Formed Because The Clerk Asked Me

"How Are You Today!"

That Guy

 

And,

“I went down to the 24-hour grocery. When I got there, the guy was locking the front door. I said, 'Hey, the sign says you’re open 24 hours. He said, 'Yes, but not in a row.”
- Steven Wright -

 

 That is my story and I am sticking to it!
