Shopping Carts by Jeff Stebane
First off, don't laugh. I have this funny problem. I am afraid of shopping carts. Ok, maybe I should start off slower. You see it all started when I stopped working at a "real job". As most of you know the band is my only income. So I started not leaving the house except when we play. This is the beginning of it all... I quit working a forty hours a week job. I was surrounded by people all the time. I loved to talk, in fact I did that more than work. All was great. Then I realized that the band was taking up more time than I could handle unless I would quit my job. So that is what I did. About a week after I quit working I stopped in to Wal-Mart. The place was packed. I started feeling like everything was closing in. The isles were so close together and people are always behind you trying to go faster. I found myself in the frame and home furnishings section even though I didn't need anything but I realized that it was "dead" over there. So, I waited until I was clear and went to the movie section got my movie and ran like Hell to the parking lot. Whew, once I get out the doors I am fine. So, you are asking your self what does that have to do with the shopping cart? I was wondering that too. You see I found I can go to a place like Media Play or Menards. Places that don't have shopping carts or at least not as many. So what do I do? As of right now I tell myself that it is silly and go to the store late at night. (Wal-Mart is 24 ours in Oshkosh, I hear.) Do you got a weird phobia or even the same problem? Let me know. I love to hear about silly stuff like this Added Jan. 25th 2001 Jeff, I have a weird phobia too. I am afraid of wearing bell bottom pants. I am afraid if I wear them, and ride a bicycle, I'll get them caught in the sprocket and chain. I haven't worn them since my mother put them on me in the 1970's. That was only when she still dressed me. I have avoided them since I could dress myself. :) -Tina |
