Got a real peach a few days back...some woman's groceries come down the belt, and I get the curt "double-bag everything!" command. Okay, fair enough, but when I politely inquired as to whether or not she wanted her gallon of milk bagged as well, the thread title suddenly and loudly erupted out of her mouth, in a very disbelieving/condescending tone. Being mildly startled, I stammered an explanation that most people do not ask for their gallons of milk to be bagged (it's generally store policy that anything with a handle not be bagged unless specifically requested by the customer, although I usually bag half-gallons), and she goes, "What, you mean people walk away and get their hands wet carrying it?!", and added, "What, do they put the milk in their car and get their car wet?!" She then walks off in a huff (after I double-bagged her soaking wet milk, of course ), and while I was sitting there exchanging WTF? small talk with my equally baffled checker, I had the situation defused somewhat when a customer at the next register came over to me, placed his hand on my shoulder, and went, "Geez, she was a piece of work, huh?"

I like my milk bagged and do not like the condensation on the outside. However, I also don't go about screaming at people.... some folks just make you wanna .1129. I will refrain from casting Dimension Jump and Magnificent Mansion on every police box we pass.

It was nice of you to ask! Some people get mad for the stupidest reasons. She doesn't want to get her hand wet? How does she do dishes? Shower? Wash after restroom? Live on a planet with water? What a nut!"Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probably

Actually, I understand wanting milk to be bagged. Several times Hubs and I have discovered milk in the bottom of the bag and realized we needed to take it back. We wouldn't have noticed otherwise.The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains gives hope to many people.
You would have to be incredibly dense for the world to revolve around you.
