Bagged and Bemused

A story about emotional whiplash, supermarket adventures, and one very satisfying box bag.

This one is NOT a rant. It appears that I can experience quite a few emotions within minutes of each other. It's my superpower!! LOL

So, I’m in Fortinos getting angry as hell at the price of chicken, as you know. And I’m telling anyone and everyone who comes within earshot just how outrageous these prices are getting. Some people are commiserating with me while others are clearly trying to get away from me. LOL

After that I drive to Longos to get one of their box bags. I just love them. Anyway, because they are behind the cash registers I head right over to the customer service counter so I don’t have to go all through the store to get to a cashier.

I ask this kinda grumpy woman if I can pay for it here. She looks at me like I’m crazy and says YES in that 'Duh what do you think I'm doing here' tone. Okedokee then. Unfazed I give her the $5.35 and am about to leave when I ask her if she can clip the tag off for me so I can use it. She looks at me like I’m a moron and just pulls it off with her big manly hands. I start to laugh and say, oh I guess that works too. And she doesn’t laugh with me nor even looks at me. Which for some reason I find even funnier. She is so not impressed with me. I can read her mind - what is the matter with you Miss Princess?? As is my MO, the more she looked disgusted with me, the more I laughed. I thought it was funny. She did not!

I really do have this thing - if you’re annoyed with me and I find it funny then I can’t seem to stop laughing.

And the angrier you get, the more I laugh. It really is a thing. I’ll try to get better.
