  • You Ruined Christmas! - Early!

    The other day I was at the grocery store picking up some snacks. While I didn't hear any context or their conversation, as I was approaching the checkout, I heard an SC shout at one of the cashiers that phrase that we all know, "You Ruined Christmas!"

    I wanted to shout at the SC that it's freaking AUGUST! Mind you, we recently broke our streak for most days in a row without ANY measurable rain (55 DAYS!) and I live in the western half of the state of Washington, know for its abundant wetness. If you don't know Western Washington weather, our winters are usually characterized by constant rain and fairly strong windstorms. So even if I was totally illiterate and didn't even know what a calendar was, I would probably realize that if it's 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit out and we haven't seen a single raindrop in almost 2 months, IT PROBABLY ISN'T WINTER!

    Needless to say, the SC got plenty of strange looks as they headed out of the store with their cart.

      I know, I just saw the first Spirit halloween store of the season open its doors the other day.

        I don't get to ruin Christmases any more. Happy to see the torch has been passed.

          I ruined Thanksgiving today. A lady came in to renew her food stamps. Her renewal month was 11/2017. The current system month is 10/2017. Not to mention that I would be working in 08/2017.

          In plain words, she wanted to renew her food stamps 3 months early (food stamps have to be renewed every 6 months).

          Even if I agreed with her plan, the system wouldn't have let me.

          I'm also a b**** who wants her children to starve.

              The supermarket where I usually shop had it out at the end of July.

                While I admire her proactivity in getting the renewal out of the way early, 3 months is WAY too early.
