Why do you assume I am a trolly alt? Oh well, bodes well for me since I trolled you into thinking I am a trolly alt.

Back on topic, I grrr sometimes when there's some dumb ***** going through the express checkout with a full cart of stuff, and I'm waiting behind them with like a bag of milk and gotta wait for them to unload all their bullshit, like come on man.

I've noticed, partly because of this, that half the time it's actually faster to go through the regular checkout because everyone basically shoots all over the express checkout and so it's much more packed all the time.

Holy Satanic Christ! This is a Goddamn Signature!

What the fk is a "bag" of milk??

Sorry, but I come from a more advanced country and I'm just curious? What other packaging anomalies do your people have?

Your right about those checkout lines though. If I have someone behind me expressing impatience, I'll do everything from pulling out my phone and starting a text message, to purposely screwing up the item scanning process so the lane shuts down till someone comes over and resets the computer. Scanning a small item, like a pack of smokes, too fast and flipping it down the belt usually does it.

.

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

Eastern European countries and Canada sell milk in bags, something about the packaging being dirt cheap and using less plastic.

I have another pet Grr..

"Unexpected item in bagging area". The automated tills that are slowly taking over are utter shite, and run on XP.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

People who linger on the phone.

I use my phone like a gun. I pull it out . Call someone right in the ear and then put it away and move on.

My stepfather is the same. He can call me, then after 5 seconds proclaim that he doesn't have time to talk on the phone and hang up.

Without even having time to say what he called me to say. It's impractical but I respect it on principle.

Sadly some of my acquaintances have no respect for this at all.

One friend will call as soon as she gets in the car, to pass the time. (I don't moralize about people talking on the phone when driving when they're on a country road or highway)

Anyway she will leave for work in the morning and then get in her car and call me for what she'd prefer to be 30 min of small talk.


The problem is that she leaves for work about 15 min before me which means that when she calls. I'm getting dressed and don't have time to talk. And me not saying a word for several minutes at a time does not discourage her.

So I end up running around the house with half of my makeup done. Trying to put on a bra with one hand while holding the phone with the other. (it kind of works if you press your side against a wall)

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.
