When I’m in the grocery store, I constantly have to remind myself that other people do indeed exist. My brain becomes 80% nonsense, 15% is focused on the thing on the shelf, and 5% spatial awareness.
If you ever intend to pants me, the grocery store is a great place to try it.
The store I usually go to has been unusually bad about stocking things lately, and it’s infuriating. I’m already having to drive 20min to the store (I hate driving), then I gotta navigate the mess, try to find things, overcome sticker shock at the price (seriously, $3/lb for fresh broccoli?!), only to find out that the cheap version is out of stock and I gotta revamp my whole plan on the fly because they’ve only got the fucking pasta that costs twice as much in stock.

I’m the polar opposite. People are obstacles, the objectives are on the grocery list, and I must get them as quickly as possible.
I get progressively more stressed if I can’t find things, and the longer it takes to find them.
Yeah…

I am about ready to start tipping shelves over.
