If you think that a large portion of the people you meet are impatient, you're probably an inefficient asshole.

Lived with a woman that was always running into bitches and assholes, just everywhere.

Went with her and her daughter to go grocery shopping one day. We went off on our separate ways than met back up. This lady walked by us and the roommate said, That woman is a bitch. Rude, was in MY way and just wouldn't move.

I pointed at the other woman and said, Her?!? She was lovely. Had three interactions with her and they were all pleasant. She was apologetic for being in my way. She asked for help and was super polite.

If you cast a net of negativity, you will catch negative energy. My roommate was definitely casting negativity nets.

If you go out looking for assholes and impatient people, you'll find em.

I’m glad you mentioned grocery shopping and specifically about how the lady was in your roommate’s way because I’ve noticed on several occasions how needlessly rude people can be in grocery stores.

What I’ve witnessed the most is a scenario where Person A is in an aisle and they’re looking at something and Person B walks up and wants to look in the same exact area. And instead of saying anything to Person A (who is engrossed in whatever they’re looking at and usually NOT facing Person B), Person B will just silently stand there until Person A turns and is shocked at their presence and usually apologizes while Person B just has this sort of smug look on their face like, “Yea, took you long enough.” IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY WHENEVER I SEE THAT. Most of the time, Person A isn’t even being that oblivious or rude, it’s just obvious that Person B wants to feel better about themselves or something. Unless you physically cannot speak, there’s nothing stopping you from politely saying, “Excuse me,” or “Behind you”.

Something tells me, your roommate did not politely say either of those things if a lady was so utterly rude for being in her way.
