Imagine... it's a bad day. You had a terrible night and couldn't sleep properly. You woke up late and had to skip breakfast. You rushed to school/college/work and left half your important books at home. Now you are about to go home when it starts pouring down with rain. On top of that, it is also warm weather, so rain + heat = humidity so you feel sticky and sweaty. Then you remember that you have somewhere SOOOO important to go to and you are going to be late and it would be EXTREMELY BAD if you didn't get to that place on time!
This happens to me practically every day anyway. As for the old woman stuff, it's none of my business. People don't help me in this world, so why should I?
