Dating is a lot like shopping, and if you don't make up a list of what you need ahead of time, you'll probably end up coming home with the wrong item.

Overheard at my local Rite-Aid

Overheard at my local Rite-Aid. Cashier, to the person buying Tucks medicated pads and Preparation H: "So, are you getting ready for a busy holiday?"

Gain weight by osmosis

These days it feels like I now have the ability to gain weight by osmosis. I have to run down the cake aisle in the supermarket for fear of having my cells expand just by breathing in too deeply near the chocolate muffins.

Ya know what Target guy

Ya know what, Target guy, I know I look like a crazy person pushing a cart of screaming boys, wearing a black turtleneck sweater, red booty shorts with "HO HO HO" on the butt, and black boots with knee high Hello Kitty socks, but listen to me, look into my eyes, if you don't go in the back and tell me if you have toddler size 8 Lightning McQueen crocs to replace the ones the pug ate this morning, I will rip your beating heart from your chest rightfuckingnow go, go, GO!

I walk into the new Verizon store...and I am met at the door by a greeter!! Seriously...a greeter, and not a nice friendly retired person like WalMart...no this is a line backer looking woman with an attitude.

~Welcome to Our World

I was innocently doing my grocery shopping and I turned down the chip aisle, heading straight for the Doritos. Suddenly, I was gasping, coughing, and my eyes began to water. I had just walked into someone else's fart cloud. There were three or four people further down the aisle in front of me, none of whom were looking particularly guilty. Worse, there were two people coming up behind me. Damn the Doritos! Full speed ahead! I didn’t want them to think I did it!
