I *am* that person now.

Yesterday, as I struggled to find the change to pay for my groceries … today as I failed to use my new chipped visa card properly (several times), irritating the cashier and the lengthening queue behind me … last week when I didn’t know how to use the ticket machine on the bus …
I *am* that person now, the one I’ve been stuck behind at the supermarket, the one I’ve rolled my eyes in irritation at, the one I’ve sighed audibly at … it’s such a humbling experience to be the person who doesn’t automatically know how things work, who can’t read even the most basic instructions, the one who struggles with the simplest of transactions.
