Prima Donnas

Is it me, or are people just prima donnas this week? Insisting on driving their sedans and endangering everyone (for something other than an emergency, doctor appointment, running to the store for emergency food, for example); running out of "this" or "that" that is is supposedly "essential" (olives, really?); having to wear "certain" snow clothes (WHAT?). Are people that spoiled? Of the ones that are, do they consider their lack of coping mechanisms somehow elitist? Because what screams that to some screams "inept" to me. It just doesn't paint a pretty picture. It makes them seem "less" to me, somehow. Well, at least it provides entertainment! |

OP here. Just making observations. Maybe I judged on the bad drivers. But what about the other ones? |

| OP: what other ones? I don't really know what you mean by "certain" snow clothes? Can you elaborate? |

OP is having serious issues with being trapped in the house.
Poor children of yours! |

20:42 - who's judgmental now? The kids are happy and worn out from snow play! OP here. Does anyone have to look "pretty" to go out in the snow? Or is warm more important? Do you have to wear certain brands? Or just the warm, useful, practical ones? I'm just observing. Enlighten me. |

| OP, I don't know where you are that you're noticing people wearing particular brands right now - all I've seen are neighbors bundled up in what I assume are the warmest things they own as they shovel their walkways yet again. If you can pick labels out of the blowing snow, then your eyes are far better than mine! |

LOL OP is definitely nuts... how can you see the label of what people are wearing in the middle of a snow storm?!?!
Maybe she's jealous she can't afford it... LOL |

| I shopped and shoveled yesterday looking like I rolled out of bed in my swanky Target pants and unbrushed hair. But today I finally got sick of looking raggedy, so tomorrow I will shovel the snow with my new cut and color. |

| i was one of those prima donnas yesterday. I literally hadn't left the house since last friday (when I only left the house to pick up my toddler daughter at daycare early) and I thought I was going to go insane if I didn't. the snow had stopped and the plows had been through. My daughter's dad came over and I drove 2 miles to the gym and 2 miles back. In my sedan. Not an emergency, but I was pretty desperate to get out of my house. My daughter's dad also drove in his sedan to pick up groceries and rock salt for us, so I wouldn't have to stand in line at the grocery store with our daughter. So we're prima donnas. I did notice an awful lot of people out at the same time I was, and i suspect most of them weren't on their way to the hospital either. (and if you happened to notice the prima donnas, does that mean YOU were driving somewhere on a non-emergency basis? Hmmm?) |

OP here. We have nice things, trust me. I'm wondering what people do. Why the attack? |

OP again. Forgot to mention. 3 of the 4 of us picked up prescriptions two days ago. 1 is for serious illness. If that matters. |

Not sure when you mean, but some of us actually did have to go to work this week. (my office was open Monday and Tuesday)
And yes, then I went to the grocery store because we were out of food. We didn't hoard before the first snow storm, so we needed food for the second one. But I am amazed at the people out driving to Starbucks (not those of you OUT of coffee...that is an emergency in my book). Not sure what you mean by what people are wearing while shoveling. Aren't they all wearing coats and hats? |
