 Posted: 03/11/04 - 16:32 Post subject: What bothers me at the grocery store...
When you see someone from work and they feel obligated to come over and talk to you. I mean, I just want a half gallon of milk and some Count Chocula, but arseclown cow-orker sees me and thinks I give a crap about his day, what he is going to do at work tomorrow, etc
Can't you just wave and acknowledge people, then move on to the canned goods aisle? Do we really have to have a 'bonding' moment in front of the Stove Top Stuffing?

I have ducked into the next lane upon sighting many a person I knew from some area of my life.
Harks back to my shy days. My first instinct when I see someone I know is to hide. Then I stand there shaking my head at me, wondering what on earth my problem is.

i was just about to start a thread:
don't you hate it when you see someone at the grocery store
that you know? and you chat in the produce section and then you keep passing them in every single friggin' aisle cuz they are going one way and you are going the other and you don't even want to make eye contact by the time you are in the feminie products aisle. i friggin' hate that.

I bonded with a former neighbor in the bread aisle just the other day. I had just about made it to the walk-in beer cooler too.....

I can't stand running into these "grocery store bonders" because invariably, they will always be parked right in front of the item I'd like to purchase. I'll run them out of one isle only to be thwarted by them in the next.  How do they know what I'm going to buy??!!

Think that's bad? I ran into one of my former employees at the grocery. Former as in "submitted a fraudulent expense reimbursement request".
It was the fastest I'd ever seen her move.

yeah, but how about your neighbor sees you as you're unloading groceries onto the belt and she decides to dive right in and unload your cart....yap, yap, and did you know yap, yap.......
.....I really don't like people to know what I'm buying, let alone be touching it all!

so let's just say that I am clumsy and spill a lot of things. there are certain products from that section of the store that are, shall we say. more absorbant than a paper towel.
