Saturdays at the electronics store always feel like a loud, crowded war zone, and honestly, dealing with people face-to-face is always a bit much for me. But then she walked up to the counter, tossed her bleached-blonde hair over her shoulder, and with a smirk, I could just feel one of those entitled interactions coming on.

After a Monday that felt like a thousand tiny paper cuts to my soul, all I wanted was the peace of my pet snails. My hope for a calm market visit quickly evaporated when I spotted an expensive SUV, brazenly parked where it absolutely shouldn't be, setting the stage for more than just annoyance.
My feet hurt somethin' fierce, like always on a busy Saturday, and all I wanted was to be home, away from the endless beeping of the register. But then, a woman with super long, glittery nails decided the line
