People Have Lost Their Minds

OK, I feel I need to write about this not to just vent and cry online, but to WARN everybody about what is going on in our society. People have differing views about our country. Some people say that the 9/11 tragedy was done by our Government, that President Obama was not born in the U.S., and some believe the CIA is tracking them. I am sure that out of all the people that say the CIA is tracking them, about 10% are probably correct. That is beyond the point. What is REALLY happening in our society is that average people are going crazy. I believe the Government is covering this fact up by scaring everybody about the Swine Flu.
Let me elaborate on this claim. I work in a small business. The people that I have worked around for years have gone off their rocker. It started when I got a complaint in February of this year when a person called me yelling at me that their A/C was not working properly. The outside temperature at the time was reaching a high of 42 degrees. Then in July, another normal person called me up and yelled at me because their heater wasn't working. The high for that day was 92 degrees. But that is all and good.
This is only the tip of the iceberg for what I have been dealing with. I have been threatened to be sued for harassment (this person bounced a check and I turned them into my collection company who has called them repeatedly), I have had somebodies father drive from Dallas to stomp into my office one day. His daughter had not had heat all winter and he wanted answers. So did I. So we went up to her place and I asked her what this is all about and she said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that my heater stopped working." EERRRRRRR! So I apologized that I didn't fix what I didn't know was broken.
This is not just happening to me, I have talked to plumbers and other people who work around the general public, they are saying the same thing. Normal people have gotten weird. So what is making this happen? I think it is the economy. Even though it hasn't hit us hard here, I still think people have gotten freaked out about it.
I have actually prayed about this. I have not asked the Lord to CHANGE these people from being crazy, I have just asked him to please help me deal with it. Or at least have the strength to weather this storm that is, hopefully, temporary. I have also learned that people threatening to sue me, angry Dads barging into my office, being reported to my superiors is actually something I should expect. So now that I expect these things to happen, when they don't (they usually do), I am pleasantly surprised.
So the moral of the story IS....... just be cool with the people who serve you for the next few months. It only takes a few normal people to make a person's day.
