“Awwwwe. Poor Lobsters. Sniff.”

Seriously?

Do you want to cry for the chicken in the basket and tell me how bad you feel for my Hubby that I’m picking up some tampons too?

Perhaps you should re-think your job choice. Or um Shush!

      Uh…poor lobster! Of course, I apologize to the fish I buy for my turtles to eat.

      It’s true though… snatched from their homes and separated from their life-long mates, kept prisoners in dirty rammed tanks until quasi-death and then boiled alive.

      One should have compassion for our fellow creatures and not make their lives a mockery just because we eat them 🙁

      Oh for heaven’s sake!! Seriously?

      Maybe she is just one of those people that feel the need to make conversation? There’s one guy at our grocery that feels the need to make a comment about asking me “are you *sure* you’re old enough” to buy that wine. He’s done it so many times that I make sure to get in line where he’s not checking. Creep.

      When I bought a pregnancy test for pg #2, the cashier was a teenage boy. He said. “Having another kid, huh.” I told him yes. That I already knew I was pregnant but I liked taking the tests and seeing them turn positive. He looked at me kind of funny.

      “So what did you have for lunch?”
      “Poor little chicken”

      Yeah that would seriously annoy me. It’s just social etiquette for grocery store cashiers to keep their mouth shut about what people are buying! ha ha

      Yummy!

      Maybe she’s just jealous of you.

    11. BigSis says

      I vote for “shut the hell up.” Of course, I think that of the cashier I had today who didn’t stop talking about how her dog eats eye glasses. Really?!?

    12. ***Holly*** says

      January 5, 2011 at 6:23 pm

      That would irritate me too! It’s funny though when it happens to someone else! 🙂

      Funny… I would have said what time is dinner and I’ll bring the wine….

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
