Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has had something similar happen to them in what I am about to describe.
For the past week I have been smoking a small bowl in the morning and two more later in the evening. It's been primarily Mexican brick with a bit of decent stuff.
Today I got up early and had errands and things to do so I didn't smoke.
During my early day I had to pick some stuff up from a store and bring it to a school for a student for a class they had.
When I arrived at the front office some 13 year old kid is working with the secretaries and was trying to help me. I told him I just need to drop this off for <some name> for a class they had later.
I put the stuff on the counter and woman said "sure we'll go drop it off to them in class" then the kid asked for my I.D. I'm big on personal privacy and against the bs war on terror, TSA , inland checkpoints etc so I asked him "do I look like Osama Bin Laden or something to you?" Everyone turned around and looked at me with looks of concern and disgust. I said, "I'm just a man who took time out of his day and went out of his way to help someone, you're going to I.D me while I'm leaving? You don't even have the legal authority to ask for my I.D. " I then showed my ID to the kid while rolling my eyes and left.
Next stop was my doctors office. These guys are incompetent with files, junk mail, mail order catalogs and empty Chinese take out boxes covering the desks. They have been screwing up an important appointment for a long time. They have straight up lied to me about some things and got me to the point where I no longer feel I can get proper care.
I called them and once again they put me on hold for well over 30 mins, they were supposed to be calling me about the same thing the day prior. I decided to drive down to their office. When I got there to lobby was half full and a few workers were present. I asked about the appointment and got the run around and more BS with excuses.
I then heard enough and called them out on the office disarray and other things. "No wonder you can't get anything done and loose information, your desk looks like something from that show Horders, how are you going to offer professional services with this kind of work environment? Why have you said you were going to call me 7 times in the last week and you called once? Why are lying to me about <topic> ? Why are you telling me today the test is pending when just two days ago you told me it was ok? " etc. Everyone was looking at me when I left.
Most faces were like "Dang man LOL"
Later in the day, actually not much earlier than this post, I remembered my encounter with the lady at the grocery store when buying a few items early in the morning.
This lady is African American, the type that don't like White people and let it be subtlety known with tone of language, body language etc. You know what I mean.
Every time she rings me up I get that vibe off her. Some of her other African American co-workers are great, I love dealing with them.
Anyway, I just recently called the store manager and discussed this. I explained to her that I could not be the only one she is doing this to. I said I might stop shopping there and wouldn't be surprised if others already haven't. I told the manager you need to do something or one more encounter might result in my never shopping there again.
What is weird with all of this is that when not smoking often or at all I would briefly think about doing these things but never do it. When I was in my twenties, I would do the same thing but now days I normally let things slide. Older with lots of responsibilities and generally now avoid conflict because I can get very angry fast and need to keep a cool head; people depend on me.
I don't know if it's a bad sign or a good sign. It's not like random complaints, letting people know off the bat when I feel it's BS.
Anybody ever get like this? Perhaps it's been lack of sleep not sure, but again, I wasn't high. I had last smoked about 12 hours prior.
