  • What's gross to one is not for some...(slight TMI)

    It was a slow day at the express. (What a concept, right?)

    A woman wearing a baggy sweatsuit came into my line with:

    -Two pints of ice cream
    -A tin of cat food
    -Stool softener
    -An economy-sized box of tampons
    -A bottle of Ibuprofen

    I've been in that place before. Where nothing fits, you're in agony, you feel gross, and you want everyone else to shrivel up and die. She asks me if she can open the box and take one into the bathroom for an emergency.

    I smile, reach into my pocket and pull one out. (I was in the same situation.) "No need. Come back when you're ready." She reached across the counter and gave me a hug, then went to the ladies room.

    She comes back about two minutes later, and purchases her things. She is eternally grateful. I'm glad I could help out.

    Dear Previously-Cool Guy Who was Flirting With Me,

    I have a boyfriend who I love dearly. That being said, I have a sense of humor and also like that you were wearing a shirt of the Lord and Master Foamy. (He rules all!) So I put up with your casual flirting while I rang up your items.

    However, any miniscule of a chance you had with me was diminished when you bought three tins of Copenhagen. Yeah, I'd rather not kiss an ashtray, thankyouverymuch.

    No phone number for you.

    Signed,

    Of course you realize it was always possible he was buying said tobacco for a friend/roommate/someone else.

    I say this as a lifelong non-smoker who has bought cigarettes for roommates/friends/girlfriends/co-workers.

    Not saying he didn't chew, just saying his purchase of chew does not automatically mean he did chew.

      True, but not before he smiled at me giving me a full view of his brown, rotting teeth.

          Touche. For that, I have to admit, I got nothing.

            That's so gross.

            Wow, another trip down memory lane......myself as a young gas station clerk just trying to get through another horrid day, when some redneck assclown aspriring to be like Larry The Cable Guy would meander into the store for his snuff, flash me a glimpse of his awful rotting teeth that would make Austin Powers vomit, and then proceed to try to hit on me or do that really creepy loud breathing, as if he were playing pocket pool with his free hand......

            Please excuse me while I throw up and take a shower.

              That's hideous.

              When I was dating one of the very first things I'd notice on a woman would be her teeth. They dont necessarily have to be straight or even, but if they look like tiny rotted woodchips neatly stacked in rows forget it.

                You think that's gross, one of my former coworker's teeth were completely rotted out and most of them had nearly fallen out when she was only in her 20s! She actually claimed that her dentist had told her NOT to brush her teeth. (what dentist would say that, I have no farking clue). So she got those Veneers or whatever those fake porcelain teeth are....and she's still not brushing or taking care of them.

                    I know a girl who is in her early 20's that has all of her teeth rotted out of her head. The stories her boyfriend tells us about kissing her are pretty gross, so I won't repeat them.

                      Agreed 100%. Who wants to kiss a mouth that reeks and tastes like rancid meat?

                      How the sam hill did she even get a boyfriend in the first place?! Poor fellow must've been severely desperate.

                      I mean, my teeth don't look that great (fluorosis) but I do keep them clean. It's not terribly difficult. How do these people not get embarrassed when the person they are talking to backs away with a nauseated expression and holds their hand over their nose?
