- Some people say not to sweat the small things in life, but that is like saying don’t worry about those termites…what harm could a few bugs be? Pretty soon your house is falling in on itself, and your retarded ass is left wondering why?
I have learned hands on about the domino effect & how it turns small stuff into a giant cluster fuck of problems. It all began Tuesday morning. I got up and got ready for school as usual. However, upon getting out of the shower I realized that the bathroom (that i have to share with another roommate and his girlfriend) was out of toilet paper. -( just keep that in the back of your mind as I’ll get to why that is important later.) After grabbing a bite to eat I got in my car and headed to school. Upon my arrival I had 10min to get to class. But with my school doing ‘repairs’ to its grounds so they had closed off all of the usual entrances. This meant I had to go completely around the school to get to the parking lot of the building my class was held in. Now, because of the construction, there were more people parking in the already limited parking space. SO…. naturally I was unable to get a parking spot that was close to my class, I then had to turn around, and find a more distant alternative; Which I did. I arrived to my class 10min late. No big deal, just frustrating that I had to rush to get settled before the instructor started bitching about me being late. After class was over I needed to… shall we say get to a bathroom; my bathroom. I got in my car and was headed home… and suddenly remembered, ” Wait! There is no TP in my bathroom.” By the time I had gotten near home, a nasty storm had developed, and was within minutes of opening up. Target is across the street from my apartment complex, and so I headed there thinking I could run in grab some food, TP, and get out and back home before the storm opens up. Well, I was wrong! Here is where the domino effect takes off! There was a mustang in front of me which took the space that I was going to get. However, both the front spot and the rear spot was open. They decided to take the back spot and move to the front. I in turn had to go all the way around them to get back to the rear spot. As I arrive to the rear parking spot the van beside it was backing out. After the van was gone I preceded to park in the rear parking spot in front of the store. Here’s the kicker! Another black van pulled in right beside me and the girl in the passenger side immediately swings open her door before I could get out. It took this girl several minutes to get out and close the door, so that I could get out. Now, if that weren’t the worst they got inside and meet some people they knew, and decided it was best to talk where… you guessed it! Right smack dab in the middle of the entrance. I then asked politely to please move and they gave me a look like ‘go fuck yourself’ and just gave me enough room to get by. Remember that storm that was only a few minutes away? As soon as I got the last thing I needed and headed towards the cashiers, the bottom gave way! I got stuck inside Target for an entire hour & 20 minutes, with old batty women, & soccer mom yuppies with their kids. Basically, hell. I couldn’t check out and leave because when it storms here…IT STORMS!! Finally, the weather broke and I could finally get to the check out line and get out of there. But wait, you know it won’t be that simple? Sure as shit, I pick the smallest line that had the old batty yuppie from up north that loved saving every penny and wasting time as if it were her’s. It was so bad that when the cashier beside me got done she started grabbing my things and ringing them up! So I thanked her and proceeded to head to the car. As I got out there, the rain had lessened to a little more than a drizzle. Great I thought! I got to my car as fast as I could, unlocked the back door, and placed my shit in it as fast as I could. Then I took the buggy to the buggy rack that they had. As I proceeded to turn around that is when I saw the girl and her mother from before loading up their van that was right next to mine; and the same one that kept me from getting out of my car! Well, wouldn’t you know… history reapeting itself, but this time I couldn’t get in my car. I ended up waiting for like 3 minutes but I started getting really wet from the rain and just walked up and grabbed the door and pushed it aside…. this in turned caused the girl to very quickly slam the door shut along with nearly taking my hand too! Pissed off beyond reason by now I got in my car, started the engine, slammed it into reverse, and peeled out.
So… as you can see small things DO impact your life. You can’t just ignor it. If it weren’t for that mustang I would have been able to get in, get my shit, and get out before the storm opened up. I would have been in a better mood and dry. More to the point, this kind of ‘domino effect’ is the effect that ultimatly determines our day and how positive or negative it will be. It is something that you can’t know before hand or control. (Not unless you have a shit ton of money and can buy and ship everything Next day air to your place and never have to have contact with the outside world.) I say this because there is no reason other than pure bad luck that these events happened to me. I mean, I have never had this kind of problem before and I usually am in and out in a few minutes. But not this time. Why? Is it because shit just happens? Or is it something deeper? This whole thing started because my bastard ass roommate and skank bitch used the last of MY toilet paper. Everything else just fell into place against me. It is best to keep this in mind because this sort of thing can cause unwanted stress in your life; and that isn’t part of the ideal life! From now on I am going to try my best to identify the situation before a ‘domino effect’ can happen. Thus, saving me the unwanted stress in my life that brings me one step closer to achieving my ideal life!
And to the Fucking Bitch and Bitch child, where ever you are I hope you eat shit and die!
