Not a rant, just pondering, but I’m tempted to take a break and collect hot wheels again? I don’t want to quit building and racing rc, but I think I want to collect hot wheels too? I don’t know if having more than one hobby is a good idea lol.

Well if you start building RC hot wheels then it’s still technically one hobby.

Dad needed a push mower and I've been wanting to upgrade to something self propelled with a larger deck for a while now. So, I gave him my old one he keeps borrowing and went out excited to upgrade to something better. I wandered Home Depot for 20 minutes trying to find a cart. Cart in hand, I make my way to the lawn and garden section, park the cart, walk in front of it and I start looking at the mowers to find the one I want. While I'm looking, another customer takes the cart and walks away with it... I told them I was using that and they completely ignored me.

Dumbfounded at this point, I figured I'll just have an employee help me carry it to the front. I walk to the customer service desk, explain that someone stole the cart I was using and all the other ones in the store is full of stuff the employees are stocking. Asked them if someone could just help me carry the box to the front... she said someone would be right there. Stood there for another 15 minutes with not a soul in sight... in fact I think half the employees vanished in that very moment. I hoofed that god forsaken lawn mower to the front by myself... A 70 pound box that's almost the size of me made the walk feel like it was 6 miles long. Not only was the walk brutal, but the act of trying to get something like that into a carrying position was a struggle. Not a single person moved out of my way, offered to help, etc. Thank god there's self checkouts because I would've lost it if I had to interact with anyone at this point.

I don't know if it's something in the air lately, but my lord have I never been more annoyed with people than in the last month. I'm about to sell everything and live like it's 1872 because wondering if I've stockpiled enough firewood and rations to survive the winter is better than dealing with the general population at this point.

People are just getting more and more self absorbed, others don't exist in their world unless you can do something for them. The thought of doing something for others is completely alien to them. There are still some good ones out there, but I feel like they are becoming a minority.

WOW. That is awful! I'm so sorry you have to go through that. People suck! Thats why I'm an introvert. If I was there, I would have helped ya hood that mower across the store

In the grand scheme of things, it’s not that big of a deal. I’ll forget it even happened in a week. I’m just glad there’s a rant thread on here to vent. But, you’re not wrong. People suck and unfortunately that’ll never change!

Lawn is mowed and it was easy peasy with the self propelled feature. So there’s a silver lining to the day.

Then on the other spectrum, someone just trying to be a nice human being is suspected of possibly having some ulterior motive or looked down at being a squarepants.
Years ago, when led bulbs were still pricey, I was in the bulb section of Home Depot looking for specific bulbs for my range hood, there was a young couple nearby looking at led bulbs. I told them I was just at Walmart, just down the road, that had similar bulbs for a 1/3 of the price. The couple looked at me for about 2 seconds, and turned back to looking at bulbs on the shelf and not saying a single word to me.

I know how you feel
These people are risking my freedom on the daily.
I would have grabbed a carpenter tool and gave him an attitude adjustment. I used to go to home depot wearing my landscaping uniform. Always had people asking me in home depot for lawn stuff.

You could have walked right out with it & no one would have even noticed otherwise or cared. Not saying that's right, but the quality of people you described & ones I've observed myself also, no one even gives 2 cents anymore. They'd just soon you stole it rather than help you. They would have gone on break early too, hit their vape & look at mindless memes on the net & wish they were not even there.

5am minding my own business. A certain someone rips the covers off of me and throws them. Next my pillow is yanked from under my head. Then I feel all the teeth biting my arms while growling.

Now I'm tired at work.

I, too, hate it when Mrs.X does that to me!

Probably smarter to get a hand truck off the shelf load the box then walk out

In retrospect, I should have

Frustration and clear thinking aren’t typically things that happen at the same time lol

Shipping delays, arghhhh!! I have all but one part for my latest build, and it's been sitting for two days. Could have been a good way to spend a rainy weekend. Oh well.
