Stop confusing me with your wishful thinking.

I'm in line at the checkout, with my groceries, I look on my phone, I'm on a break and don't want to be back too late.
“May I be for, I'm in a hurry, you know,” I hear, when I look around in the face of an elderly gentleman, his shop car fully loaded.
“Sorry”
I say kindly.
“But you're still young, you have all the time in the world to do your shopping”
I sigh,
“What? it's like that anyway”
i look at the gentleman
“Sorry, but I'm on a break from work now and have to start again so I'm in a bit of a hurry too, if I didn't, or you had fewer messages than I would have liked to leave you in front of you”
this makes mister seemingly angry.
“Do you treat your own big parents like that too”
i shrug.
“They would just line up with me”
I say.
Sir does not agree with this.
“that childhood today is so disrespectful, when I was the age of this k**je, then the youth were still respectful to their superior”
From this, my neck hair will stand up from afloat.
“I don't like the fact that you call me that”
I say
The gentleman looks at me
“And I don't care, what do you think. “
If Edwige, (my partner) had been there, she would have said something, made sure that the other side of me had now shut up.
But it's not there.
“What I think is that I pay that shopping cart of yours, after all, I pay your generous pension, and it must be a big deal because you can buy a full cart like that. And when you were my age, people still showed respect for the people who made sure they had to eat”
I feel a hand on my shoulder,
“Ma'am, checkout 3 opens you may hook up there”
the cassier says to me, I look at the gentleman with the shopping cart.
Was that eruption in my head?
Did I learn to hold back today?
I step aside and walk to the other box office, look at sir,
“If you go for me, I'll get this cash register”

I think that older people deserve respect but I also think that they should give respect because we are an equal society

That is exactly why I have been ordering my groceries online for years and have them delivered to home, directly in the house and in the cabinets. No annoyance in the aisles and no more hassle at the checkout. No lugging, in the cart, out of the cart, in the car, out of the car, in the house and then still clean up.

Sometimes when you ask for things nicely the same way other people answer with the kick, when you simply can say no if you don't want to.

I understand the question of time and the clash we have with him and that is why we doubt the time we spend.

I've learned not to run errands when I don't have a lot of time, so not in my breaks. Saves you a lot of annoyance. 😜

The problem of time is something conclusive, thinking about all the days that time never gives up to be able to do some things and we all go through it.

Today I had at least one time problem: I put a cake in the oven and I had to take it out after 20 minutes and it burned at 15.

Time passes and does not stop, and of course you feel that you are not enough for the tasks.

we will always find that we always lack time and that all people get in the way and have wasted the time we have left, but that is not the case, we must be patient and follow our way.

when we see the issue of time a lot because everything gives very little supply due to the fact that it happens without realizing it.

The way I see things, I think we should be considerate of older adults because today we are young and tomorrow we will be older adults just like him and we would like a little consideration too

I find it interesting and I understand the lack of time to do some things and not be able to achieve some things that we want.

Many times in life things happen to us like this, the less time we have to do our things, the more inconveniences we get along the way, the key to success is patience.
