#6: A Stressful Situation

Dealing with Black Friday crowds and stress is tough enough when you’ve got the emotional fortitude to deal with it. Imagine how much worse it would be if you were a very high-strung person who feels pain and disappointment more keenly than the average person.

I have to agree with the writer’s assessment of this woman: if she can become so overwrought at a store not having the exact model of cooler she wants that she would sob in a stranger’s arms, only imagine how stressful the holidays are with her! She seems like the kind of person who would declare Thanksgiving ruined if you showed up with Italian dressing instead of ranch. Or maybe someone in her family did show up with the wrong salad dressing at Thanksgiving, and the lingering trauma is why she was so upset about the cooler.
