I don't get it. Why is it that when everyone figures out that it is less then 72 hours from when they have to have the bottom of the tree loaded up with gifts for the little spawns they have squeezed out and because they are such bang up parents they have not shopped for anything it some how gives them to right to be ultra-aggressive angry shopper people? I went to the store today to get some tape, I knew when I left the house that this was going to be a bad idea because I was almost run down pulling out of my driveway, but I rallied all my strength to deal with the mob and drove on. I arrived at the store after almost rear-ending some lady that figured out she did not need to be in the far right lane but rather the far left lane. She charged across traffic, I locked up my breaks and made the same turn-in as her 20 feet later. At this point psycho lady assumes that I am falling her and stops her little Lexus and takes the opportunity to scream at me as I get out of my car after parking. Calls me a 'freak for fallowing her' I ask the lady as calmly as possible if it is reasonable that people other then her may have business at Target? She did not like that and flipped me the bird and started walking into the store, I collected my daughter from the car and walked into the store. I can already tell that this is going to be a GREAT trip. So the hordes of people have taken over target, I have one task get a roll of tape. I walk past the electronics section where another soccer mom is yelling at the poor kid behind the counter because he does not have a Nintendo Wii in stock, he is trying to explain to this psychotic woman that the wii has been in heavy demand this year and they sold out the morning the shipment came in. But she figures that she is special and demanded to speak with a manager, I moved on. My little girl wanted to goto the toy section, so I walk back with her. We are looking at the board games (not the trendy little games based on the latest marketing ploy by Disney), I am cool with this part of the toy isle because nobody is in it, after all what self respecting kid would WANT to play chess and what modern busy parent would want to take the time to teach little Susie Polldancer or Johnny MIddlemanager how  to play a game that will add value to the life of the child, plop the kid in front of the big electronic babysitter and pump them full of medication thats what I always say.
