LSD-2-Undeserving-My-Irritation

Undeserving of My Irritation

I WANT to share a personal experience on how I became embarrassed from my impatience. It happened recently after I ordered two large boxes of crackers in a near­by grocery and the man said he would go inside to get them.

But he was taking a very long time and I got impatient and started grumbling to an­other store man and really ex­pressed my irritation that it was taking so long just to get two boxes of crackers.

Then the man who went inside came out apologizing for the delay. He said he no­ticed some holes in the first two boxes and decided to look at other boxes and also saw holes in them. It might be some rats, he said.

So he took a long time finding two boxes for me that had no holes. So the delay was actually in my favor! I apologized to him for getting mad but he just smiled and accepted my payment. Then he told the manager about the holes.

Before I left the store I waved at him and he smiled again. I guess I still have to learn to find out things before getting furious about them.
