CORP 8.31.21 Being Annoyed is a Choice_BH_8PM + IU UPSELL

We’ve all been there – in a situation where somebody annoys the crap out of us.That little voice in your head goes off...Are you freakin’ kidding me?Can you believe what she just did to me?What is this person thinking?!Hell, sometimes we even say that stuff out loud. I find myself coaching clients on this dilemma all the time. And as a human, I certainly face these situations myself.  The big question is:How do you handle it?  What do you do when other people’s bad behaviorstarts affecting yours? WHAT A JERK!A while back,I walked into the drugstore to pick up my monthly prescription,only to find the last thing I wanted to see: a long line. At the front of it, I spotted a new employee at the cash register who was clearly the cause of the hold up.As the minutes passed and we all stood there in line,I started to get annoyed. Why was New Girl taking so long?Why weren’t they opening another cash register?The whole line was huffing and puffing! Finally, it was my turn. I told New Girl my name,but for some reason she couldn’t find my prescription. At that point, I was beginning to show my annoyance.I told her it was a monthly auto refill,and that it should be right there,just like always. She still couldn’t find it.The whole time I was thinking...What is wrong with this place?! Can you believe this?!There are 10 people in line behind me!New Girl went to ask her boss, the head of the pharmacy,but I could see he was busy discussing a TV show he had watched the night before. Did she try to get his attention? Noooooo! She stood there like she had all the time in the world,patiently waiting for him to spoil the season finale of his show.  When she finally came back with my order, I glared at her and said,“You’ve got to be kidding me.Can’t you see this line?Could you be moving any slower?!”And she looked at me like I was out of my mind.As if I was the problem!  I paid her and walked out of there thinking,”What’s wrong with these people?!”MAYBE IT’S YOUTen minutes later I was driving back to my home office,but in my head I was still in the pharmacy,going over and over what happened. Uh-oh, I realized. This was a very serious sign that maybe it was me who did something wrong...
