my fellow anxiety havers what is one of your mundane day-to-day tasks that should by no means be anything remarkable but feels like you are being hunted for sport. i’ll go first: putting all of your groceries on the conveyor belt during checkout is like a long series of quick time events to me

#marzi speaks #it’s bc like. you have a cart Full of groceries #there is a cashier looking to scan the groceries #there is (often) a bagger looking to bag the groceries and put them back in your cart #goal: get as many groceries onto that belt as fast as possible #REMEMBER: heaviest items go first so that nothing gets crushed when the bagger puts the groceries back in your cart #it is so stressful. move so fast ‘which of these items is gonna be heavier’ getting to the end and realizing you missed like 3 cans…#it’s even worse if there are ppl behind you. i live in texas so i can at least make socially acceptable conversation with the cashier #EXCEPT i’m already way overthinking the conveyor belt situation. i’m already frazzled #and now i gotta do small talk? oh god #on the bright side i am so fast at it it’s insane. i move faster than the cashier can keep up with #which is A Good Thing. bc that means i am at max efficiency #but like. WAAAUUGHH #and then u pay and hope the card reader isn’t gonna be a bitch #and you sit there for a moment while the cashier and bagger bag the rest of your groceries #and ur like ‘….should i help should i stay here’#tbh checkout is why i like never go grocery shopping alone if i know i won’t have self check out #bc what if there is no bagger. then i gotta balance Get Groceries On Belt. Pay For Groceries. AND Bag The Groceries #ouh god the time concerns. no . never. you can’t make me do that alone #someone handles the transaction while the other person bags it’s the only reasonable way to do it #i KNOW logically that it is not a big deal. but i hate the idea of making anyone wait for me
