The dog food had run out, so I said in the morning: I'll just go and get some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know exactly where those bags are, so I'll walk into the shop, towards the dog food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that was too fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Will you just grab a basket?' I heard a seller call out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, of course, in shops you must take either a shopping basket or a shopping trolley. In the pet shop, they only have baskets, so there's no choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I'm thinking ahead. I see myself neatly walking with a basket to the aisle with dog food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then you take a huge bag of food from the shelf. And then you shove that 20-kilo bag into my shopping basket to walk to the till with it. On the way, the handle of the basket breaks off, which I'll then be blamed for. The bag tears and all the dog food spills out onto the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I foresee problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I call back to the seller: \u2018I need a big bag of dog food, so I'll leave the basket here for a moment!'<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this time, that was good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This made me think of the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I often see this happen: you need to transport something that doesn't really fit in your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A stack of patio tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plasterboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The optimist in you says: oh, that\u2019ll be fine! And believe me: I\u2019m one of those optimists myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
