I was at the local pharmacy/craft store this weekend, and while I was waiting to check out, one of the employees was berating another for how she put the garbage bag in the can. For extra weirdness, the berater was in her early 20s, and the victim was at least 20 years older.
YW: You put the bag on like this <takes open end of bag and stretches it over the rim of the can> then you push the bag into the can so the seam is on the inside <demonstrates this>.
OW: What difference does it make?
YW: The seam is on the inside, where it belongs.
OW: <dismissively> Ok...
At this point, the older woman turned to me and started ringing up my purchase. I smirked behind my mask. I mean, seriously? As long as there's a bag in the garbage can, who cares whether the seam is on the inside or outside? That was needlessly nitpicky. Presumably, the older woman has an extra 20 years experience using garbage bags compared to the younger woman. You'd think if the seam was supposed to be on the inside, she would have hard about it by now.
