Shopper's Rage

I find that I'm not a very patient person sometimes. For example, when waiting in lines, I will look around for a shorter line so that I can leave quicker. However, having banking experience, I know that just as soon as I move to a shorter line, there will be a reason that the new line becomes slow, and the line I would have moved from is now checking out the person that was behind me! So, most of the time, I wait. (I hate it when I am the cause of the waiting.)

I also am not patient when I am walking through a store and people decide to stop right in front of me to chat with someone else. If I do that, I always try to move my cart or myself to the very edge of the space so that people can get through. I do not find that everyone else uses this courtesy. People block aisles and don't even try to move out of the way. Or people that are walking slower than I am will not scoot aside, they just keep up a slow pace until I can find an opening to get around them. AARRGH! I really don't know why this bugs me so much, but it does. Maybe God is trying to teach me patience, but I am not allowing it?...Hmm...

Maybe I have "shopper's rage"?
