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.
It won’t take you long to pick it up, I’m sure. It must be so frustrating for you though - If it were me, I’d probably just cry and just tip the contents of my purse out on the counter and tell them to take what they need LOL
