Things that I think would make life easier….
I went shopping at Target the other day. I parked my car, grabbed a stray shopping cart from the lot and wheeled it into the store to use. I do this all the time, usually at the supermarket; I take a cart that someone has abandoned in the parking lot and use it. It always strikes me as funny that most people don’t park their carts in the little shopping cart corrals, preferring to squeeze them between two parked cars – usually nudged up against the bumper or door of my car. It’s odd because most large stores now have these little corrals situated roughly every 12 feet in their parking lots.
So, it got me thinking about little things that would make life easier for ourselves and others. Just little incidental things like bringing a stray shopping cart from the parking lot back to the store to use instead of using one that’s already there. I mean, how many shopping carts do we pass by on our way into the store? If everyone brought one cart back with them, there would never be any carts rolling around the parking lot, slamming into my car doors. Just bring a cart back from the parking lot.
Taking a turn in traffic. If every other person would let one person take their turn, how smooth would traffic flow? My turn, your turn, my turn, your turn. See? No one would ever be stuck waiting for an opening to sneak a turn through miles long stretches of traffic. Simple.
Ziploc bags. Any and all food that is sold, packaged in plastic bags should come in a ziploc bag. This would elimnate the need for clothespins, elastic bands, paper clips, etc., which are SO inferior to the convenience of the handy ziploc. No more tearing the bag down the side as you try to open it by pulling the seam and then trying to roll the bag tightly so whatever is in it remains fresh and not freezer burned. Just “cut along line” and zip closed. Nice.
So there. There’s three things that would make my life a little, tiny bit easier.
Snore.
Sigh…can you tell I’m having a hard time thinking of what to blog about??
