I don't get it

Work sort of sucked today. I had to do customer surveys at Indigo downtown. Honestly, I've come to conclude that the most precious thing you can give is time! Two minutes out of your life won't hurt! I mean, it really did suck to have to go up to people and ask them questions. Why is everyone in such a hurry? What is seriously the big rush? I don't understand. I mean, these people, not all of them can be that busy! I hated it. One of the best things ever is empathy. Do people have no empathy? I guess they don't. Why are people so heartless, so scared, so unwilling to interact or be "bothered"? I mean, it's pretty sad when I consider it polite that someone stops walking to pause in front of me and let me finish my sentence. Hello! I'm a person here trying to talk to you! The worst is when people give you this half smile, this afraid of you, almost demeaning smile, and shake their head no and keep walking. I suppose it could be worse; they could yell at me or something. Some just walk on by. Is two minutes really too much?! Karma on all those assholes. I seriously got so annoyed that I, in those moments, chose to believe in a hell just so there could really be a place designed especially for all of them to rot in!
But there is the tiniest glimmer of hope for us humans. Some people were kind enough to stop and really give their suggestions. Some were kind enough to try and make it so they could qualify for those surveys. I remember them: Amelia, Cyril and Mary. They were especially nice! God bless their souls forever, I genuinely mean that. They knew I was going to "bug" them and they let themselves be bugged out of the kindness of their hearts. Mary told me not to rush and said she once worked in retail. Cyril made it so that he thought of a book he could not find, although he wasn't searching for it particularly on that day. Amelia was more than happy to give suggestions.
Other people qualified but didn't have two minutes to spare! Unbelievable! I mean, I guess I could understand if they had their car parked and the meter was expiring, or if they desperately needed to catch a bus, but some of them sure seemed like they had time if you ask me- snooty assholes. One lady said "I couldn't find it and I'm aggravated, I don't want to do any surveys." Well I hope your life is one big hellish aggravation too bitch! Ugh. At least I can fake a smile and "sorry." And if I were to follow what I'm professing now, then fine, I can understand her frustration too. Having a slew of crappy jobs, I can be grateful that I consider myself to be pretty damn empathic and polite.
So people, please! Just try to understand. Think of the time you might spend idling, sitting in front of the TV, on facebook, on youtube- if someone needs your time, just a bit of it, stop and help out! You could really make someone's day and it doesn't take long! These are people too who are just doing their jobs, who don't mean you any harm, who don't really want to bug you more than they have to. People really need to be nicer. People need to stop being afraid of other people. Why is everyone bothered so easily?! Seriously! A little kindness makes everyone's day a little better.
