Why Nobody Likes to Shop With Me

Typical thoughts while browsing Walmart:

Okay we need toothpaste. The cheapest kind is a buck. Clean teeth are clean teeth, but I have a great coupon for Aqua-Fresh Advanced. Let's see, there's Aqua- Fresh Plus, Aqua-Fresh Premium and Aqua-Fresh Use Me Because You Have Worse Breath Than the Dog. Nowhere do I see Aqua-Fresh Advanced. Ohhhhh, it should be right there where that empty hole is. Frickin' figures. Probably a million people had the same damn coupon.

Pantene is next. What the heck! It's four bucks a bottle! It was never four bucks a bottle. Oh I see. They did a rollback on the crap I won't buy and marked the Pantene up to balance it out. Bastards.

Toilet paper time. I have a coupon for the Scott Extra Soft. Here's Scott. I'm looking, looking, looking but there is no extra soft. I guess I'll just buy the generic toilet paper. Let's hope it doesn't leave lintballs. I also need flush wipes. I can only find the name brand ones in this section. I'll have to backtrack to the pharmacy section. Crap.

Ack, the store is getting crowded. It was empty when I got here. Hey you, yeah all you people blocking the aisle! Can you not see me trying to get past? Do you not care? Oh I'm sorry you're too busy trying to figure out which brand of hemmorhoid ointment to rub on your face to actually look up and pay attention. May your rear-end fall off next time you sit on the toilet. And I hope your toilet paper leaves lint balls all over you.

Ooh, look. Curves has a new cereal. How many calories are in it? Oh crap! There's almost 200 calories in a cup! I'll be getting more of those curves in the wrong places if I eat this.

We need strawberry jelly. Now if this lady who is looking at the jelly will hurry up and choose. Come on lady. It's jelly not an algebra problem. HURRY UP! Oh screw it. I'll go in the next aisle while you pick your ass.

Oh look a search and rescue party in the next aisle. How do I know? Because they're fanning out, that's how! Between the cart and the two women on each side of it, there is no passing. I guess I'll go see if Miss Slow is done looking at jelly.

Yay, she's gone. I'll get some Smuckers. It was cheap last time. What's this? They marked that up too! I'm so damn sick of this. I'll buy the generic and hope it doesn't suck.

I need hand soap. The eighty-eight cent kind is sold out. Here's the new aloe vera yogurt soap and I have a thirty-cent coupon. Thirty-cents is really not much off of two bucks. But it's something.

Laundry detergent time. I really like Tide but it's twice the price of Purex. Clean clothes are clean clothes.

Finally done and time to check out. Oh goodie. Everybody else got done shopping at the same time I did. And I'm behind the lady who has eight kajillion items AND she's writing a check veeeeery slowly. Unreal.

Thank goodness I am finally done. Now it's time to go to the grocery store where everything is filled with corn syrup!

Wouldn't it be nice just to be able to stroll down the aisles with a cattle prod and zap those morons who park their trolleys in the middle of the aisle while they peruse at their leisure the types of jam (or jelly to you) available? This is why I do most of my grocery shopping online now.

Anonymous - If people could read my thoughts they would come after me with pitchforks.

Badgerdaddy - Shhhh, they might start charging us for it.

Velcro - That would be very nice. ZZZZZTTT. I can imagine it now.

Lael - We could do our own search and rescue.

Ty - Me too. It's a necessary evil, like a pap smear.

I refuse to shop at that store. I can find everything I need elsewhere. I swear - the store greeter whacks everyone with an evil stick as they pass through the entry. You see people whaling on their kids, couples fighting, people screaming at their elderly tag-alongs, etc. Just a bucket full of joy in every step!

No Thanks.

I don't shop there either, on principle.

BUT. Why would you need yogurt in handsoap?

And don't get me started on corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils...

I hate shopping..especially at stores with "Mart" attatched to their names...I hate the type that let their kids drive the cart..when the store is really really jammed packed...and the person who after giving the money to pay, shouts.."Wait..I have the sixty two cents!!"..then perfomes a search and rescue in their purse for the exact change...veeerrry slowly...and then goes: "Oh forget it..I thought I had em'"

Why do some idiot-filled families view supermarket shopping as a great day out?

If there are two adults available, please leave the squalling sprogs at home with one of them while the other one goes and gets the shopping.

Mscellania - You may be right about that evil stick.

Chris H - If you get dragged off, I want to see the mug shot. Hee.

Lori - I think I'd like to be a fly on the wall when you go to Walmart.

Paula - Hmm, why would I want yogurt in my soap? My husband is not a yogurt fan.

Mary - What, you don't think the kid pushing the cart is cute? LOL

Lives - I like that. It's a good divide and conquer strategy.

Liz - If only the local drug store weren't so damn expensive...

Bookworm - It's a good thing people can't read minds.

Joke - I think the government is trying to kill us all off so there is more earth to go around. They are doing it by sludging up our arteries with corn syrup.

Anonymous - That would be fun to keep knocking on his door and hiding.

I don't know about people not wanting to shop with you, but I sure as heck wouldn't want to shop with the person who left the spam comment above me.

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. But imagine if you added some great pictures or video clips to give
your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and
video clips, this website could undeniably be one of the very best
in its field. Superb blog!

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service?

Currently it appears like Drupal is the best blogging platform available right now.

Surfing around stumbleupon.com I noticed your website book-marked as:
Blogger: The TMI Spot. I am assuming you book marked it yourself and wanted to ask if social
book-marking gets you a bunch of traffic? I've been contemplating doing some book-marking for a few of my sites but wasn't sure if it would
generate any positive results. Thanks.

Hey would you mind letting me know which web host you're working with? I've loaded your blog in 3 completely different
web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster
then most. Can you recommend a good internet hosting provider at a
fair price? Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

I'm wondering which blogging platform you're running?
I'm new to operating a blog and have been thinking about using the Vox platform. Do you think this is a good platform to start with?
