I was off work today (rare during a weekday). I figured, middle of the day, middle of the week, I could hit a few stores, the post office and grocery and it would be quick and "crowd free". No way. The stores were packed...worse then weekends, I think. The traffic on the road was nuts.

Who are all you people shopping and driving around at 10 AM on a weekday? Am I the only human going in to work all day, on week days? Is there some secret I don't know about?

If you are one of those people, out in the world, while I am working from 6:00 AM , please fill me in.

I'm in EMS, and the morning/early day is the only time I can get things done. People like to do stupid things at night, like drink and crash their car. Cue the EMTs and medics.

12 hour shifts, like 6pm to 6am are very common.

So while you have people who don't work there's also all the folks who work at night.

For me some of the worst offenders are the retired elderly. My commute and work hours mean that to do errands like banking I have to do it during my lunch hour. The retired folks who could do their banking in the morning or afternoon seem to love to do it at lunchtime just to eat up the few minutes that I have available.

My work shifts are mid afternoon thru evenings and also weekends, therefore I often end up having my days off during the week and I've often wondered the same thing! I work in an area that does get tourists, and it'll be noon on a Tuesday and there's people everywhere!
I always think there's some holiday that I don't know about.

You sound offended and perhaps angry about this! :insert psychoanalysis here: It's still summer vacation for many young people (and stay-at-home parents), plus back-to-school sales are in effect around this time. Also, breaking news, the job market isn't exactly booming right now. Also, as mentioned, retired people. Also, some people refuse to 'work', and really only exist to harass and mock those who do (/s).

So ... more
While I tend to agree with you (I too am in a line of work with 7 am to 7 pm and 7 pm to 7 am shifts) and thus expect people to be out a little before and after those hours, but in mid-day, I would expect those on "graveyard shifts" to be sleeping??? I know I would be.

I honestly don't think I was offended or angry. I cannot be offended since I have no clue of any of their "stories", and what was there to be "angry" about? Yes, I was trying to get things done, but these people had no way to know, or responsibility for my "time line". I think I was, more then anything, simply shocked by the sheer volume of people who were "out". You bring up a super good point...school is indeed out and we are a college town. May have accounted for a fair amount of those driving around.
