    Is it just Me or is there something happening?

    Is It just me, I notice everyone is just crazy this time of the year? What gives, the arrogance, the impatience, the bad driving on the road.
    No goodwill to fellow man.
    Same thing happens every year for some reason.
    And the shops are only closed for 1 day!

    I've not noticed it yet. It was mayhem about three or four weeks ago.
    Today there was an old Ford Ranger that kept passing me and slowing down. It was a diesel so I just assumed it was the hills.

    Just you.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    We talked about this at work last week. Aside from the usual ramp up to Friday knock off road stupidity , there has been a fair bit of rage from customers expecting delivery within the hour. Will prove interesting next week when I have to cover two other routes plus my own.

    Arrogance, impatience etc is something that we have to put up with every day, not just Christmas. I am constantly amazed when the shops shut for ONE DAY, the next day you can't move at shopping centres. It's one of the mysteries of life, I guess.

    And one of the realities of life is That they spend money they don't have, they put it on plastic then come next year are in huge debt.

    I honestly think Christmas was invented by the Jews to milk the silly christians of their money. Lowey ( Westfield shopping centres) must be rubbing his hands now and smiling.

    I heard on the news that Victorians leave their shopping untiltil the last minute , other states are said to have started their christmas shopping months ago. Don't know how true that is.

    Spent today in town, and its getting a bit crowded - had to park a block from one place I was going, and in a couple of places was scratching to find a park with shade. And had to wait a few minutes in queues at several place. But hardly anyone in the Chemist or the Service station where I got fuel.

    And traffic was about normally polite (or not).

    If only they could make Christmas at the same time every year then people would have 12 months notice and they'd be able to plan for it.
