PLANNED ANNOYANCE

Remembering, today, an incident from the Christian bookstore where I worked. 

A man, accompanied by his preschool daughter, asked question after question until he became an annoyance. We (like good Christians?), finally started to avoid him . . . to look busy everytime we suspected he had another no-brainer question.

THAT IS, UNTIL . . . 

A mall-shopper informed us that this man had made several trips from our store to his car, where he was filling his trunk with our merchandise.

Call this "planned annoyance." 

When our attentions are consistently being drawn from one direction to another, might something be going on that's meant to be hidden?

Lesson Learned,
Lonnie
