Annoying, maddening, infuriating, gggrrrrrrrrrr. Me, irrational? Never.....

Gggggggggrrrrrrrr..... Payday is here - wooppee! So why gggrrrrr? Here goes.....

Every payday I feel it is my right to treat myself to a little something new (there are of course many other occasions I treat myself but payday is the only one I openly admit to). Lunch time came and off I popped to the only clothes shop worth going to near work. Obviously I must make a purchase within the 30 minutes I get for lunch! So in I go, excitement bubbling over, eyes scanning as much as they possibly can between blinks, and almost immediately I come to a couple of promising items. Things are looking good, but here's where the problem begins. I now have my suitcase, ooh sorry my handbag, in one hand and have added to that 2 garments on hangers. Is the problem becoming apparent yet?

Well, tell me this... How am I supposed to sift through rails of clothes in a limited time frame (with one available hand) when everytime I move something, everthing falls off the end of the blinking rail?! To add insult to injury when the hangers do manage to stay on the rail, anything with a slightly wide neck, slinky material or generally anything I want to look at, falls on the floor too and I am left looking guiltily at a heaped mess which I (should) try to rescue one handed! My face starts to contort, anger sets in and for some reason this always makes my temperature rise (temper, temper Georgie, no wonder my nick name as a child was John McEnroe!)."If they can't even sort clothes out in an appropriate manner then they (the innocent shop assistants) can pick it up, they get paid for this, why should I do it rah rah rah", but I just can't leave it can I? I blame a touch of OCD for this inaqbility to leave things, that and guilt I suppose. So I set all my things down and begin the thankless task of tidying up the heap, knowing the next person to disturb this rail of irritation would be doing just the same in a few moments (hence ggggrrrrr).

Why is it somebody can't just design a rail which doesn't allow clothes to fall off (OK some places do have this) along with a method of keeping things on their hangers - I know it's genius! Efforts have been made, this I have noted, some hangers have rubber along the tops, but does they work? Do they heck......

Ooh, wiat an minute, I've just thought up a money making scheme haven't I? See you at the place where inventors go!!
