because finding items and following the grocery list takes too mcuh efforts

Come on at least excuse me though

My wife and i have been talking about this. Dont know for sure but it feels like the disconnect that comes from overwhelm. no agency, no larger vision, feeling trapped but trying to hide from those feelings, just trying to survive and enjoy a few moments of peace away from all of it before getting up the next day and doing it again. after a while you dont want to be aware.

How do you all handle it and not let it annoy you

It's not just shopping. I think you reach a population density where you just get used to things. Like how the Japanese are used to guards squashing them into trains at rush hour. I think people have got used to becoming bumper cars in public lol. You don't need to be aware of your surroundings when you're a bumper car surrounded by other bumper cars.

That's true that's a good point

The futility of existence and innevitability of death.

...and smarphones.

What's annoying as is I'm always on my best behavior in public like I'm conscientious of other people I don't see why other people can't do the same. Everyone's so fucking self-centered only care about themselves

Spot on, I'm the same, it's baffling how some people really think the universe revolves around them.

This is a woman thing, and a black thing.

Dude I would say it's a most person thing especially with families like they just be chilling in front of you like they ain't in the way and shit. It's so fucking rude

Half of them are zombified. I'm not worried about shopping, but driving and traffic.

That's fair I guess when I first voice texted that it said asparagus
