  • So, WHAT are you doing tonight?

    So, I was just posting a thread in sightings about grocery shopping that totally reminded me to post this (it's a domino effect! This is why I get no work done! Ever!!!)
    A few weeks ago I was in line at my local home-improvement place (I can't do it. And they usually can't help.) The guy behind me in line was buying the following items

    1) An area rug
    2) A disposable mask used for paint fumes, etc
    3) A huge bottle of bleach
    4) 2 bottles of room deodorizer
    5) Giant roll of garbage bags
    6) A SHOVEL


    I mean...c'mon, right? This guy is obviously a serial killer, am I wrong?????
    I was actually freaked out enough to memorize his license plate when I followed him out to the parking lot.
    Yes, I'm sure he could have been doing some renovations, but the guy looked shaaaaaady.

    Anyone ever see someone buying something that just makes you do a double take???

      Many years ago a co-worker and her boyfriend were goofing around before work and they lost the keys to their handcuffs. He called the local equipment rental place to see if they had hacksaws and the guy asked "what, did you lose the keys?" and he said yes. While there he also picked up a large shovel and a battery charger (for other house projects). It wasn't until he was halfway home (walking) that he realized how that all looked and insisted on having an alibi 24/7 until he returned all the items.

          Whenever I encounter strange purchases, I always think of this story from People of Walmart.

          I'm trying to think of an especially strange episode. I guess there was that one time a guy at CVS was buying condoms, a pregnancy test, diapers, and an anniversary card in the same transaction. That one kinda made me scratch my head.
          Fiancee: We're going to need to do laundry. I'm out of clean pants.
          Me: Sounds like a job for Gravekeeper!
          Fiancee: What?!
          Me: Nevermind.

            Yes I will.

            Hope your cramps feel better. Try putting a heating pad on your tummy. Sometimes the heat helps lessen the pain.

              Quoth static
              A few years ago I bought a pregnancy test for my cousin because she was too scared to buy one herself (even though she obviously wasn't pregnant, she was convinced she was) and I got her some condoms too as a joke. When I was waiting for the bus home a guy started chatting to me and asked me for my number. He seemed nice, so why not. It wasn't until I was nearly home that I realised I'd written the number... on the back of the receipt.
              And? did he call or what?

                Oh yeah. I am on that. Looove my heating pad. I think I will name him Fernando. He likes cuddling, fetching me ice cream and talking about his feelings.


                Static I can't believe he didn't call! Phbbbbbt. Chicken. You don't need 'em!

                  Can't say if you're right and wrong, but having cleaned up from horrible ex-roommates that I threw out, I can promise you that sometimes all those items are necessary for Apartment Recovery.

                  I've actually BEEN that person. Just one example: years ago I was purchasing some discounted cassette tapes at a grocery store (this was the late eighties/early nineties, so I still played cassettes quite a bit), and the clerk looked at my purchase, looked at me, looked back at the purchase, then back at me.
                  "Yes," I said, "They're both for me."
                  The purchases? The Mamas & The Papas and Black Sabbath.

                  Nah. I can explain that one easily. It may or not be accurate, but I can explain it:
                  Guy's girlfriend may or may not be pregnant, so he's buying the test. He's also buying condoms because her potential condition is because they'd been lazy. The diapers are for the first "whoops!" child they had, who is still an infant, and the anniversary card is for some friends of theirs, completely unrelated to his situation.

                  Remember, kids, not everything you see people buying is related. Just saying.

                    No, Jester, I think the anniversary card was for his wife or GF. The rest I agree with.

                    What am I doing? Sitting here sucking down coffee and reading CS.com!!!

                        I know some people who like putting weird things together on the conveyor belt just to make the cashier go ... like duct tape and condoms etc.

                        but my favorite was ... Tempura paint (red, yellow, & blue), condoms, marshmallows, twinkles, and Toblerone. And maybe some Captain Crunch. And possibly some other random hardware.

                        Freaky night of weird food-paint-sex? Nope. Blue Man Group. Most people might recognize the foods they use during the show. The condoms are for the paint "gumballs". \0/\0/\0/
