Ahh, old people. If they aren't scolding me because they think my red converse sneakers are too gaudy for me to wear to work, they're discussing...other things....with me.
In a change from my normal routine, I had to fill HBA items off the truck. I'm stocking stuff in the digestive health aisle when an old woman comes through and grabs a box of Miralax packets.
She asks me how much liquid she should use to mix up the laxative. I look at the package directions and tell her 4 to 8 ounces of liquid.
She asks me how much liquid that is. I estimate enough to fill a juice glass.
She tells me she doesn't have a glass that small, so I suggest filling a larger glass halfway or maybe a bit more.
Then she tells me she went to the doctor or to a hospital and they gave her some stuff and (this is a verbatim quote) "I just about blew out the toilet! That stuff really cleans you out!"
I get that I may be the only person she interacts with today, or this week, or maybe even this entire month, but I so did not need to hear that!
