Behind a woman at check out-

[justplugit]

Always happens when you have one item.

The woman in front of you has 15.
Starts to check out, and makes conversation with the clerk about Mary Jane.
Half way thru says to the clerk, isn't that item on sale?
Announcement- make up dept to check out, for price check, please.
Finally, get a total and NOW she takes out her pocket book and puts it on the counter.
If she's paying in cash, unzippers pocket book,
takes out change purse and trys to get 3 cents out of it with 2 fingers.
Puts it on the counter and double counts it.
If she's paying by check she goes into another compartment, all the time talking,and writes it out like it's a freekin document going into a time capsule.
If by credit card, goes into another special special compartment, swipes the card and says "did it go thru?"
Finally finished, instead of moving over, keeps her pocket book on the counter, puts the receipt in another special compartment, zips everything up, puts it on her arm and continues to talk about Mary Jane.

It's a pickle i tell ya, it's a pickle.

When you're in line with the wife, and she's buying, say " get your purse out dear, they're gonna want money". You'll find out what a withering stare is.....
Women never, ever get the money holder out until they hear the figure, why is that?

because we have so much damn crap in our wallets we are afraid we'll loose something if we take it out early!!!!


and you guys forgot to mention about how we need to obsessively double check to make sure we put the change/credit card or checkbook away in its proper place before walking away!!!!!!!!

if i am with the wife and i am going to pay
i use either cash ...already in my hand
or swipe my bank card......... but it never goes
quite smooth enough to suit her ... EVER
and the counting out of money (omg) has to be PERFECT

so usually i bail !! after unloading the shopping cart
and bring the automobile around for a quick exit.

that way, she is the one to blame for anything over -> charged

i find this is a HUGE issue at walmart.... in the express lane.. with people writing checks...

some people just dont get it.

What about the clowns who drop their kids off at school? They get to the drop off point and it's like it's a surprise that they are at the school. It took less time to unload the supplies for the invasion of Normandy than it takes some people to get their kid and a book bag out of an SUV the size of the Queen Mary. Yoo hoo! Get out of the way! Get a clue!

first they have to move the 3/4"Socket set out of the way to get the change purse thats stting on top of the Floor jack in the Bottom!

School busses!
Drove down a major local road at least 1/4 mile with the bus sitting with the Lights flashing. Traffic backed up a couple hundred yards, There was a woman standing on the Step talking to the drver. Sat there at least 4-5 Mins before I blew the Air horn. After the Bus started to move the Woman flipped me off as I drove away!

I was in line today and JPI's scenario played out before me....all I could think of dammit was "It's a pickle, I tell you , a pickle"
I let out a loud guffaw and received the nastiest looks in return, couldn't stop giggleing to save my life. Thanks a million ,Dave!!!
