Really, what kind of society are we building? What a stress! 😵 I really feel lucky to live where I live, because my goodness… and I only went to Girona, I didn’t even go to Barcelona, I don’t even want to imagine the chaos there. I don’t even want to imagine the chaos there, we are going crazy! by MasTorrencito
I tell you my odyssey. Yesterday I had to go to Girona to get some papers from the notary. I, who am more of village than poppies 🌾, always try to park comfortably, that is, either in a parking lot or in a blue zone with at least three free spaces. No complicated maneuvers or leaving the car in a double row. I park badly, admittedly, and I don’t want to bother or stress anyone.
Well, I get to the parking lot and, as usual, I go up to the top floor. It’s my tactic: park next to the door so I don’t lose the car (which won’t be the first or the last time I lose it 😅). I find a perfect spot and I’m about to park when suddenly….
Peiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! 🚨 What’s wrong? An energumeno appears out of nowhere, beeping as if he were going to be run over. I turn around and there he is, red with rage, shouting and gesticulating like a madman. I, with my best face of peace and love ✌️, raise my hands and tell him to calm down. And I even ask for forgiveness! I back up so as not to argue and the guy parks almost skidding. I move three meters away and look around: there are SIX empty spaces. SIX! You explain this bad temper to me. But well, there he goes with his anger.
I finish parking, get out and go to the notary’s office. I’m walking calmly when suddenly… OSTISSSSSSSS! 😱 I get a flash: I’ve left the car unlocked and with the keys inside! As usual. I live in my bubble of tranquility and I’m not in the habit of locking the car. I run back and, luckily, it’s still there. I lock it, take the keys and take a deep breath.
I keep walking and suddenly, without warning, a lady bumps into me. She was carrying a cute little dog 🐶, but also a cell phone in her hand. And on top of that she says «LOOK WHERE YOU’RE GOING». My face must have been a poem. But well, with my best education, I apologize and continue on my way.
I arrive at the notary’s office, go up to the fifth floor. I’m about to enter the elevator and a lady with five bags appears and slips in mercilessly. I can’t fit any more. Nothing, I wait for the next one. Nothing happens, my life is not at stake. I go down, pay the parking… and 9 eurazos for 20 minutes! 😵 My God, what life costs in the city.
I leave the parking lot, I go through the Devesa and suddenly…. PIIIIIIIII PIIIIIIIIIIII PIIIIIIIIII! 🚗💨 What’s going on now?! I look and I see another stressed out guy giving me the slipstream to go faster. But let’s see, we are in the city. I continue at my own pace. I get to a traffic light that starts to turn amber and, as I have an electric car, I accelerate a little to pass it. niauuummmm!
But of course, the stressed one follows me. He overtakes me, stands next to me, staring at me, trying to get me to look back at him in order to…. Insult me? Challenge me? I don’t know. But I don’t pay any attention. I pick up the phone and pretend to talk. The traffic light turns green and the guy takes off. 20 meters later, I see a Mossos motorcycle signaling him to pull over. And I pass by him looking at him with a smirk on my face. It’s a miracle I didn’t comb him.
I finally leave Girona and when I’m about to join the AP7, another car overtakes me at full speed and closes me. So nothing, we will go by the national road… chino chano.
I get home, get out of the car, leave it with the keys inside and the doors open (as usual), and suddenly, my little ones appear: Masto, Mky, Mastitwo and Mamás. They jump on me as if I had been away for a month. Hugs, kisses, caresses? peace at last! And after such a day of madness, I poured myself a beer, sat down, Txarango was playing and I relaxed. And I thought… my God, what my friends must go through every day in those damn cities… every day…
Because, really, what kind of world do we live in? Everyone is in a hurry, in a hurry, in a bad mood? And the worst thing is that this stress is free. Or at least that’s what I think.
Let’s reflect: life is too short to go around angry. Relax a little, people! 🌿🍺
And YOU… what do you think? ??????
From MasTorrencito we wish you a good day and may your dogs be with you!!!!
