The Sheer Frustration
Today started off stressful when my mum has forgotten her shopping trolley so i leant her my small one i use (it also handily doubles as a backpack - i love it so much!) aaaand because shes taller than me, she kept it too high up so it was scrapping on the ground 🙄
So i swapped my shopping bags for my trolley bag.
I had to take some clothes back to primark to exchange for a different size.
You remember my mum had my shopping bags....yehhh.... she tried to go upstairs before i could get the clothes i wanted to exchange with. So, she said oh okay i'll leave you to do that and il go browse. But she had my bag...that had the clothes and receipt!! so she groaned and begrudgingly followed me while i tried to find where i had gotten the clothing items before and instead of helping me match them, she stood there complaining and saying what she wanted to go look for. I was really struggling because she wouldn't move so i had to keep walking back to check if they were the same items.
And then she kept wandering off in a large busy shop that has a labyrinth shop layout.
3 TIMES SHE KEPT WALKING OFF WITH MY BAGS!!!
so, i was getting quite stressed but finally managed to find everything. Went upstairs where the customer service desk....USED TO BE!! 😖
So, i had to go down a join the 2 line long queue, and it was soooo hot! And there was this woman in a leggings and crop top with her baby in a pram....who had been dressed in A FURRY FLEECE! and the poor kid was crying his heart out and she was a sweet mum tbf and tended to him....but did not at any time, take the fleece jacket off him!! it was obvious the poor lamb was crying because he was hot!
🙄😮💨
Anyway...these items i exchanged for better fit me better because i am going back to do all that again 😒
Then i helped her in hobbycraft find a hole punch for her leather belt and a wooden blank sign to put on the kitchen door to say whether the backdoor was open or if one of the cats was in there - when the doors closed. We need to keep Pirate indoors. And i got some more paint pens, but also a set of 4 ice-lolly moulds - i want to try to do frozen yoghurt pops with a chocolate sauce centre :D
But then we went to M&S food hall. Fortunately i didnt need to get any soft drinks this weeks, it was a fairly easy shop. Until we got to the self service checkouts. I scanned my mums shopping first and she accidentally dropped her hard case card wallet and broke it slightly but kept fuffing about it even though the card reader was beeping for her to pay. In the end i had to take the card from her and do it myself because she was just sending there looking at her wallet closure! And i still had my shopping to scan yet! Afterwards i got the bag trolley out the shop trolley and said to not undo the sides because things will fall out. Okay, she said and zipped it back up a little. And i gave her her basket she was using to put it away......and then she didnt come back! I was left to put HER shopping away in the bag trolley i gave her!! And then scan all my things and pack all my stuff too.
And where was she?!
Sat down waiting 🤨
So we got out the shop, i gave her my bag of shopping (4 small bags of crisps, 2 small bottles of milk shake, a small bottle of chocolate sauce) and she complained that it was too heavy for her to carry. She was complained again when i had to leave the bag trolley with her while i put back the shops trolley! I was not a happy bunny. I was like, theres hardly anything in there! I packed all YOUR shopping in the bag i LEANT YOU because YOU forgot your own but now youre expecting me to carry MY bag AND your shopping!!
And then she got annoyed at me for getting stressed at her! 😤
And then when we got back, there was a missed delivery note, and she was getting all flustered over it and kept asking who was it, what was it for, where the "bloody hell" is ". And i was answering...or rather, TRYING to answer, but she kept going on and on and werent listening at all. All the while she had all the fridge-only food and drinks in the hallway and its a very narrow hallway which she was blocking up by winding herself up about the note.
And then started getting all pissy at me for being angry.
I had every right!
But despite being mad, i still went and sorted out a redelivery of something they had ordered on amazon that was due to arrive today, for tomorrow. My mum did try to call the number herself...but couldnt get through. Also the call i did i went and had a look at her call history and found out she put in too many 0'
