Mr. Cellophane

I've been feeling inconsequential the past few days. What triggered it was a particularly bad walk to the DART station the other morning. 

Firstly, there were two women, each with buggies, walking towards me one behind the other. There is really only enough room for two people abreast on the path. The woman in front then noticed that there was a woman behind her trying to get by. In order to let her by, the woman in front veered her buggie quite suddenly into my path, cutting me off, about a foot in front of me. I mean seriously??!! 

Then further along on my way to the DART station I was crossing a road onto another narrow path and the person walking a few feet behind me crossed too. They were walking faster than I was so I kept to one edge of the path when I crossed the road so as to let them pass me. Instead of walking on the other side of me to pass me out, they walked directly towards me, forcing me off the path and onto the thankfully empty road. They then proceeded to walk on the side that I was intending to walk on. WTF??!!

In summary I felt like I really didn't matter all that day and the next. Thinking about it now makes me feel invisible.
