How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

In Pursuit of a Giftbag

in Everyday on 09/16/09

A quick trip into Zellers.

I just need 1 gift bag.

Pink.
Perfect.
On sale.
Even better!

Oh and there is no line at the cashier. This is my lucky day!

What the hell???

Well excuse you family of five..perhaps you have some emergency to get to?
Go ahead, by all means, take that cart that is CRAMMED FULL of stuff for your University student (damn University town) and butt right in front of me.

Manners much!

Good Grief ..you know when I am at the grocery store and someone comes up BEHIND me…I let them cut ahead. I let them play through. I am a courteous citizen of the world!! I was in front of you, besides, everyone knows 1 item to zip ding through is a whole lot faster then errrr 18.

zip beep….”Can I get a price check at 4”

Are you kidding me?
Foot starts tap tap tapping….

FAAAARRRTT

Huh?

Did he just?
Did they just?
Oh help…the toxic smell!

Man fart.
I must step back .

My stomach is threatening to reveal this mornings eggs.

Silent gagging…

This dude didn’t even flinch!
He didn’t try and hide the fact that he cut the cheese! He didn’t accidentally sneak a cheek, he just let er rip!
How much longer do I have to stand next to these line cutting stinkers??

“Would you like to sign up for our store credit card?”
They say yes!!

Huh? Sorry. Rude.

I am outtie.
No stupid gift bag is worth this kind of wait.
Life is too short to stand in this toxic cloud of poo smell created by random pushy strangers …..all in the name of a gift bag?
I’ll just use a freakin ribbon.

      Uhhh, gross, but SO funny! Haha! Yeah I hate it when someone with a million things goes in front of me and I just have one dinky thing! So frustrating!

      for real – no way! A timely reminder of why I have home delivery and my gift wrap is never co-ordinated!

      Okay, it’s a very funny post but OMG! How rude of them. I too let people with one/few items go ahead of me. Then he farts in your face.
      I would have been outta there too!
      I am finding more and more rude people in this world and it pisses me off!

      WOW. They are rude…and the scary part is they are going to raise rude kids which means even more rude adults one day!

      Manners really seem to have gone the way of VHS tapes lately.

      OMG! That is hilarious! I have totally been behind a random stranger when they let one loose! It is such a weird awkward disgusting moment! I seriously hate the rudies too that don’t let you go ahead when you only have one thing, it really is the polite thing to do. Glad you got outta there!

      Ugh! I’m sorry you had to experience that. I hate it when people cut in. One of my pet peeves.
