weyes Posted December 21 Report Share Posted December 21 ah - the last weekend before christmas: not the best time to go to the mall if you don't absolutely have to. my christmas shopping is done, but, glutton for punishment that i am, i went to the mall to get my watch battery changed (have to have my watch running for new year's!) and to exchange something i got on sale but didn't need. while there, i thought i'd have some lunch.christmas shopping-related crankiness is well-documented and, unfortunately, widespread, but here are some ways for people to avoid being sources of aggravation for everyone else:obey traffic laws. just 'cause it's december doesn't mean that it's suddenly ok to drive like a maniac.taking up ONLY ONE parking space is another rule that also still applies.walking in an efficient manner and not standing in everyone else's way keeps everything moving in an overcrowded area.taking up the only empty seats in the food court with shopping bags is just plain inconsiderate. other tired shoppers need a place to sit and eat, too.throwing out your trash is another rule that applies all year and which happens to be extra important when space is at a premium.and lastly, a little extra politeness and respect in general helps when everyone is feeling a little bit more rushed and stressed than usual .tune in tomorrow.
