Morning Friends!
I just got back from going into town. Had to run into the "big" city to get a few items for the kiddos for Christmas. While there I was forced to venture into the local Walmart. Normally I avoid the place during peak hours, but during this time of year, there really is no good time.
Long story short, got to witness two Walmartians get into a parking lot dispute. I have observed fights in the parking lot there before. The last one was during the great toilet paper famine...
This one appeared to be over one cutting off the other to take a parking spot. This resulted in one Walmartian getting out of her van and kicking the other's vehicle. She could be described as of the Oompa Loompa variety. She has been wintering well for the last 30 or so seasons..
The person who cut her off did not take kindly to having their car kicked and it resulted in a bit of a mouth fight and some shoving, before a man separated the two. I am unclear if he got out of the passenger side of the vehicle that parked or if he was just coming from that direction. All this just reminded me that people go from zero to violent for the slightest of provocations. Many of these career welfare recipients have zero impulse control and get violent with little thought of consequences.
As always I was carrying something to defend myself, as well as my family or innocent people, but common sense said this was not my circus and not my Hungry Hungry Hippos.
I just took a pic of what I was/am carrying today.
It is the silly season for sure!
