Count me in as a member. I went to the grocery store today and so many people blocked the aisle with carts, I wanted to hit ramming speed. Not to mention the ones who stop in the middle and stare at cans of soup like they've just been invented. I get reading labels I don't get just gawking.

Sometimes (not always) I feel that I cannot leave until I have read all the labels and worked out exactly which choice would be the best one. We have a great many types of milk. Mostly I can tell myself they are all manufactured and best avoided. But sometimes I feel I have to evaluate and that is fatal.

I don't mind evaluating a label, what I hate is people standing in the middle of an aisle just staring at the shelf like what they need will magically hop into their basket/cart/trolley.

We had schoolies here a while ago where people out of school party. I had *just* managed to make it into the supermarket and was pleased to witness a young oaf asking his friend about some bananas as he sniffed them
'How can you tell if these are ripe?'I shop as little as possible. I have actually bought a $1,000 coat I subsequently realised I didn't like.
I can imagine these conversations with my doctor.
'How can I help you?'
'Prescribe me some morphine.'
'Why?'
'I want to buy a coat I like.'
'I can't help you with that. Is there anything else?'
'Prescribe me some amphetamine.'
'Why?'
'I need to buy a mobile phone.'
'Are you serious?'
'I'm afraid so.'

I like online shopping: no one to annoy me except myself. I think I would have told the oaf to thump the banana and listen for a hollow sound. I remember being at the zoo and a kid had his head stuck out of a wooden cut out of a flamingo and his father was yelling, look you're a pelican. Yes, all pelicans are pink and like to stand on one leg... I just hoped the kid wasn't studying birds in school that year.

On the subject of the general ridiculousness of life, I laughed myself sick over this about Russia (Saltykov-Schedrin).
To begin with the Volga was kneaded with oat flower, then a calf was dragged to the bathhouse, then kasha was cooked in a bag, then the goat drowned in the malt-vat, then a pig was bought for a beaver, and a dog was killed for a wolf, then the best sandals went missing and were looked for in the courtyard: there were six sandals lost and seven were found; then a lobster was received with bell chiming, then a pike was driven away from the eggs, then a mosquito was chased for eight versts, but the mosquito was sitting on the Poshekhonet's nose, then a priest was traded for a dog, then the stockade was caulked with blinis, then a flea was put on a chain, then a demon was recruited as a soldier, then the sky was propped up with stakes, and, finally, they got tired and sat down to wait what would become of it all.
This is the end of the thread.
