Back from the beyond

Post – March 26, 2002

So I was going to write this post about the woman who stood in front of me in line at the grocery store for about 10 minutes (it was the express line, of course), then watched as her three items were scanned, then chatted with the clerk, then fished through two, not one but two, purses to find her checkbook, then laboriously wrote out a check, asking the name of the freaking store she was standing in in order to fill it out, and didn’t realize her luck that I didn’t take a can of soup and beat her to death with it.

But then I thought, the world doesn’t need another fake-Seinfeld weblog post about grocery store lines. So I’ve moved on.

    Ever seen the play Laughing Wild by Christopher Durang? One of the acts is about a crazy woman who had the urge to beat someone in the supermarket with a can of soup. I think you’d like it 🙂

    At least she didn’t bring 30 items to the 10 item line and demand to check them out 10 at a time. That happend to me at Target last year. The cashier let it happen. I complained to Target’s corporate office about it.
