Being retired and mostly a homebody has done nothing to improve my people skills. 
I really don’t get bent out of shape about most things, but when I do it seems like it’s an avalanche of annoyances.
First, we went to the movies. It was the 35th anniversary showing of Dirty Dancing. Someone was in the seats we purchased, so I had to refer to the seating chart and our tickets. The lady who moved had her phone ring twice during the show. A good chunk of the time she was scrolling FB. I knew this because she had the brightness WAY up.
I very much enjoyed a sweaty, shirtless Patrick Swayze on the big screen, by the way. 
Next stop, supper. Ordered two drinks with our food. They’re self serve. Everything is out. I go back to the counter to see if they could get us something from the drive through area. Nope. They’re out. Didn’t mention it. No sign. They just had tap water. I asked if they charged regular price for tap water. Nope.
Didn’t we just pay $6 for drinks? Yes. Manager comes and refunds drink money. They bring food. “Who has the cheese pizza?” Neither. We both had pepperoni. “Oh, we didn’t have enough pepperoni ready.” 
Just for fun, my cheese ravioli was completely cold in the center.
At that point I really didn’t have high hopes for grocery shopping. That went well, even though we had to substitute a lot of things due to bare shelves, piece together 18 eggs from the remaining 5 cartons of mangled eggs in the fridge, and bag our own groceries because the bagger had to step up and run a register because I’m guessing they’re short staffed?
I guess I wasn’t actually a Karen because I wasn’t loud or hateful to anyone. Everything just seemed like it was more difficult than it needed to be.
