The One Squeegee...

[sms001]

I go to the gas station and want to do the windshield while I wait for the fill up. There isn't a squeegee in the holder at my pump. I glance around to see if there's one at another pump.

I've given up on trying to logic so many SC trains of (non)thought but this one just seems SO instinctual. I don't think I could prevent myself from doing that if I consciously tried. They're broken, I tells ya, BROKEN!

Don't they realize this is causing them to walk twice as far, or is this a new form of exercise that I wasn't aware of?

I have nine spots around the periphery of my store where I park my cart; I never take it down the aisles in the middle of the store. From those stations I loop out and back, or in the case of aisles, out from the cart down one and back to the cart in the aisle next to it.
Every once in a while I can't carry everything and have to double back, but it's usually for something near the end of the 'returning' aisle.
Biggest difference between me and those aisle clogging SCs, (besides the fact that those parking spots aren't in anyone's way) is that I'm not "browsing" at the grocery store; I am getting the things on my list. I'm a cheap SOB, and feed the wife and myself on five dollars a day, shopping in under an hour every two weeks.

Then explain why I see it in aisles that have nobody else in them. Not only that, they seem to leave them parked is such a way that it blocks the main walkway (the part that's perpendicular to the aisles).

Yeah... that'll be the sucky kicking in... probably the same people that have to park right outside the store door, I mean RIGHT OUTSIDE, not even in a parking space, blocking the roadway. I mean, I don't *think* anyone could get upset if they got a few cart dings from parking there... could they?

Seeing someone with a cup in their hand drives me far, far crazier than it should - especially in summer we get so many half empty milkshake cups we start telling people they can't have them in the store. Most people understand, but then you get those that don't... Those are the ones that leave sticky fingerprints all over the place too. =.=

As far as I'm concerned, the swamp should ban all outside food and drink from being brought into the store, with the exception of baby bottles.

The people that come through with cups of Starbucks, or McDonalds, or gas station coffee in their hand ALWAYS abandon the cups someplace, empty or not.

I was watching a car coming down the road towards me a few weeks. Something about the driver didn't seem quite right and set my spidey senses tingling. Just as they were almost even with me, I braked - and watched the driver throw a drink in a disposable cup out of their window.

Had I not braked, it would have all gone all over my windscreen and into my open driver's side window.

Luckily the man was a bad shot and the cup bounced off the window frame, knocking off the lid and splashing about half its contents back into the car on the litterbug driver instead before it rolled down onto the road and under my car as I drove past.

I probably shouldn't admit just how much I laughed...

It's okay, I'm chortling about it. Instant punishment.
