Den of the Beastly Bear
Howdy Folks!
Today's rant is for the ladies.
Yes, that's me lurking behind you in the express line at the supermarket. I'm the guy standing there with a $5 bill, and 1-2 items in his hand that he discovered at the last minute he needed for dinner.
Which one are you...standing there in the "15 items or less line" before me?
Are you the woman with half a shopping cart, counting your 10 cans of cat food, 2 packs of diapers, and 12 "Lean Cuisine's" as 1 item each along with your other 12 items?!?
Then, "Oh wait, did I give you my Kroger card?!?"
Or the woman with the coupons! For every...single...item. Then arguing over whether you're due double or triple value. And "Hey, Walmart has this for 20¢ cheaper EVERYDAY...you price match, right?"

Or perhaps you are the woman with the cup of yogurt, pint of milk, and a banana that waits until AFTER the cashier tells you "That'll be $2.75"
To START digging into that "suitcase" of a purse for your checkbook. To write a check....for $2.75!!!!!!! Are you fucking kidding me???

And then...THEN you remember you also need cigarettes!
"I'm sorry, can I start over?" rrrriiiiiippppp!
"I'm sorry, can I start over?" rrrriiiiiippppp!
Why is consideration for others so unusual these days?
When I'm in line with a cartload, and you get in line behind me with your few items do I not always allow you ahead of me? That is courtesy, that is consideration.
So yes that's me behind you, rolling my eyes and giving the heavy sighs.
No, it is NOT because I am impatient.
Rather, it is at your complete and utter lack of common sense, courtesy, and consideration.
Here are some thoughts:
For those of you this does not apply to...
Thank You!
Really, I'm not that beastly until people make me that way!
To lighten things up, this does remind me of a joke:
A drunk gets in line behind a young woman at the grocery store.
As he stands there swaying in line, he watches her unload her cart: a quart of milk, a loaf of bread, small can of tuna, 2 onions, 3 bananas, 2 apples and a tub of yogurt.
The young woman notices him looking when he says
"I'll bet you're single aren't you?"
"Wow," she said, "you can tell that just by what I'm buying?"
"Naw," slurred the drunk "you're fuckin ugly!!!"
Be Well Folks!

Here are some thoughts:
- Whilst standing in line get organized, you are performing a task.
- Remind yourself to ask for cigarettes FIRST
- Get your checkbook out(better yet get a debit card)
- Start filling that check out! Guess what? You're in line, the store name isn't going to change! Your name, unless you're in the witness protection program SHOULD be easy enough to remember, sign it!
- Get your damn store card out!
- If you don't have a store card, get out your drivers license/ID...they WILL be asking for it!
- Picking lint off your coat/clothes
- Checking the state of your nail polish
- Checking your hair for split ends
- Applying/checking your makeup
- Reading the National Enquirers (pssst! It's all fake!)
- Checking your texts/tweets/emails/Instagrams put the damn phone down!
For those of you this does not apply to...
Thank You!
