Grocery Store Challenge

Posted on August 15, 2024

There are few horrors more challenging for me than the dreaded grocery store. The utter insanity of it all…

People screaming (talking), children darting about (dawdling), the horror of bumping into that guy I didn’t see behind me because I was looking at this thing in front of me, the people *shivers* brushing past me and not understanding that the radius for a personal bubble in a grocery store should be exactly 1 meter in all directions…

Then at the very end, the worst of horrors, the check out… where I have to go fast enough to not be annoying to the person checking me out or the people after, but slow enough not to place the eggs in the bag in a fashion that will leave me with a leaky mess, all while the guy at the till is talking to me like I can do two things at once – high expectations here.

So what if the donuts are crushed! At least I didn’t forget something at the checkout after paying for it again. Priorities people.

About Elise Xavier

Figured out I had ADHD in my 30s and perpetually trying to figure things out. At least now I have more of the pieces.

Now I'm just trying to follow Michael Caine's mantra... "Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath."

Oh and. I have ADHD, so this isn't my only project. Check out what else I've got in my bag of tricks by visiting here.
