  • It MUST be fresh...

    Not sucky, but so determined that it doesn't count as just a brain burp... more like the thing where you expect Rod Sterling to step out and describe the situation to you...

    I was in the store, heading down the asile by the peanut butter, where I found this lady sitting on the floor, pulling all the peanut butter of one brand off the shelf and looking at the lids. My best guess was that she was trying to find the newest sell-by date... or really, really concerned about food poisoning. Wasn't sure which. I'm fairly certain she was a customer, because she had a cart with a few items and a purse in it. Still... if you're that concerned about your health, the floor of a grocery store probably isn't the best place to do whatever mental calculations are required. But the real odd part was that, when I returned to pick up something I forgot, about ten minutes later, she was still there. Only now she was looking at the same brand, larger size. Yeah, ten minutes later.


    BONUS: kid, I'll compliment you on the wisdom of wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle. But here's a hint: if you want to pop wheelies at 112 kph, you might want to consider adding a leather jacket to the ensemble, and probably leather gloves. Just a thought, y'know.

    Reminds me of the woman in Clerks who checked every single jug of milk.
    Pretend there's something here that sounds insightful, but is really just some pseudo-intellectual bull.

      That or she could have been related to the Egg Guy who was searching for that perfect dozen.

      Or the Egg Guy could have mated with a Milk Maid and that was their offspring.

        Ok, I'll admit, I check the dates on my milk. But only to make sure that the three jugs I'm grabbing out of the cooler (two 1% and one whole, for Daughter) aren't going to expire in two days. I've had that happen before. And the only reason I check eggs is to make sure they aren't all broken.

        But going through every single item to find the absolute freshest? That's just silly.
