The lift was out of order,
so I had to climb six flights of stairs to get to my place.

sit down on a bench to rest.
By that time, it had stopped raining, but the ground was still
wet.

I gathered up a few items and carried them to the counter.
After the cashier finished ringing up my purchase,

and stuffed my groceries into my shopping bags.
I was not in a good mood when I left the supermarket.

If that wasn't bad enough, I had a terrible time on the bus ride
home.
First, the bus driver yelled at me because I took too much time
to get on.
Couldn't he see that I had both hands full of groceries?
Then, there were no empty seats.

I'm sure that someone on the bus could have offered me a
place to sit,
but everyone was so rude.
They pretended not to see me.
I just stood there, leaned against one of the poles in the aisles,
put my head down, and sighed.
