Last week I was so embarrassed. My dogs started barking around 9:30 pm and I look out the window and it's dark out and there is a man with a flashlight at my front gate. I go out to see what is going on and it's a UPS driver out making deliveries. He's come up from a neighboring city to help our regular guy who is inundated. He doesn't know the area and it's dark so he can barely see house numbers. He is out on foot with his flashlight going up and down the block trying to find delivery addresses. I felt horrible. I had been ordering books to keep myself entertained. Without any thought whatsoever at how all these increased deliveries would affect the people who's job it is to bring us everything we buy so easily online. And they were all being shipped piecemeal so one order would be broken up into like seven deliveries.
Anyone else find themselves uncomfortably realizing how much we spoil ourselves without any thought to how it affects others? Or have any moments of personal shame during this situation?
