It’s kind of fun watching a huge ego get deflated in front
of onlookers. Do to the extreme heat and humidity, an afternoon storm came
through that was scary and rewarding. Rewarding that we finally got some rain
and scary that it looked like the flooding scene from the movie 2012.
I was in a grocery store when one of these highly charged
storms was preparing to hit the area. As the rain came down, slow at first,
eventually increased to the point no one could see any cars in the parking lot.
The last thing people saw were shopping carts being pushed all around the
parking area like a giant pinball game. Everyone in the entire store was
looking out the front store windows taking in this monstrous view.
As the storm eventually died down people walked outside to
survey any damages as well as to head home with the food they just bought. One
man came back in the store and proceeded to talk with the Assistant Manager
about damages to his truck. Everyone was taken aback by the number of dings and
dents the shopping carts had done to his vehicle. The Assistant Manager stated
that the store wasn’t responsible for any damages caused by the shopping carts
but if the man wished, he could still contact the police and file a report
against the store.
The man looked like he was satisfied with that decision until
the Assistant Manager mentioned that he would have to explain to the police why
he was parked in the fire lane while he was grocery shopping. The man simply
turned around and left the store. No charges were filed against the store.
