One of life's mysteries which has always eluded me is the concept that there's aspects of your life you have seemingly no control over. As much as you think you do there's things that regularly go on that no matter what you do, always happens.
Example:
I'm always 30 seconds late for my own life and therefore am constantly being annoyed by some random event. No matter what time I leave the house, I always get stuck behind someone that is driving too slow and hasn't a clue where they're going. It cascades from there. Say I was going to get some food. When I get there invariably 2 people arrive 10 seconds before I do and gum up the works.
Tonight for example. Went out to get a sandwich after work. Had a specific place in mind and they were closed. (Note to Port Of Subs - someone might want a sandwich after 8 PM. Just saying.) So had to go to plan B at Subway. Well of course the delay effect caused a guy to arrive seconds before me and you'd think it was his first time ordering a sandwich. Had 2 to order, had not a clue how he wanted them, took goddamn forever to make up his mind.
This delay then cascaded down to driving home. It never fails that when I want to make a turn, it's timed down to the split second that I gotta wait for a pedestrian to cross the street. No exceptions tonight of course!
Ya it's trivial and it comes off as being a whiny bitch. I can see if it happened once in a while. But shit like this happens daily. Like clockwork. It's uncanny. Makes you wonder.
Ok that's all for now.
