 Dearest Journal,

 I had to go out to the grocery store today. To be honest, it was a complete disaster. First, a guy tried flirting with me and showing off. I told him that his shirt was too tight and his haircut looked as though it belonged in the 80s. Then the cashier couldn't even figure out how to put an apple onto the list of items, so I had to wait for five minutes while getting glares from the people behind me in line as someone had to come help the cashier. Finally, she got my apple scanned.

 To top things off with a cherry, the people working there had given me plastic bags when I specifically asked them for paper. I want to conserve our environment, not destroy it faster.

 All I could do was smile at these idiots, hoping that there would come a day when society was smart enough to give me the right bags or let me buy groceries in peace. 

 Probable not.
