How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

In Pursuit of a Giftbag

in Everyday on 09/16/09

A quick trip into Zellers.

I just need 1 gift bag.

Pink.
Perfect.
On sale.
Even better!

Oh and there is no line at the cashier. This is my lucky day!

What the hell???

Well excuse you family of five..perhaps you have some emergency to get to?
Go ahead, by all means, take that cart that is CRAMMED FULL of stuff for your University student (damn University town) and butt right in front of me.

Manners much!

Good Grief ..you know when I am at the grocery store and someone comes up BEHIND me…I let them cut ahead. I let them play through. I am a courteous citizen of the world!! I was in front of you, besides, everyone knows 1 item to zip ding through is a whole lot faster then errrr 18.

Are you kidding me?
Foot starts tap tap tapping….

Huh?

Did he just?
Did they just?
Oh help…the toxic smell!

Man fart.
I must step back .

My stomach is threatening to reveal this mornings eggs.

Silent gagging…

This dude didn’t even flinch!
He didn’t try and hide the fact that he cut the cheese! He didn’t accidentally sneak a cheek, he just let er rip!
How much longer do I have to stand next to these line cutting stinkers??

“Would you like to sign up for our store credit card?”
They say yes!!

Huh? Sorry. Rude.

I am outtie.
No stupid gift bag is worth this kind of wait.
Life is too short to stand in this toxic cloud of poo smell created by random pushy strangers …..all in the name of a gift bag?
I’ll just use a freakin ribbon.

      I’m with you, I hate when someone buds in or doesn’t have the common courtesy to let you go ahead, oh and I really hate to disgusting gas bags that don’t take themselves out of the mass general public to let their nastiness rip leaving everyone looking to see if there’s a hazmat suit in the their their immediate area.

      How rude. I”m sorry. That story is hilarious, though. Although, I know it wasn’t at the time.

      rudeness seems to be a growing epidemic right along with the obesity rate. I wonder if they are related in some kind of cause and effect way? Don’t mean this to sound judgy, but both seem to indicate everyone has taken leave of their senses – and those who haven’t have to smell the consequences!

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
