Pathetic.
in the late afternoon on Saturday, the 10th of December 2005 by Capt Jake Fortune
So I just left the grocery store. It’s kinda hard to express how many people are completely non-functional in a grocery store without a cell phone stuck in their ear, asking someone which can of cream of mushroom soup to get. How did anyone ever eat before?
But surely, the MOST pathetic person in there was this big guy, looked like a linebacker.
“But honey, it says to get chopped pecans, and the bag says they’re chopped pecans, but the pieces look too big. And the ones in the other bag labeled crushed pecans are too small. What do I do?”
He turned to glare at me at that point, mostly because I was laughing so hard AT him.
I so wanted to take a bag of chopped pecans, take a can of soup, and show him how to make the pieces smaller. But that would just embarass him now wouldn’t it?

OMG! So funny!
Reminds me of my all-time favorite grocery store story.
I was doing my shopping, and I noted a lost-looking guy wander around the spices isle. At the time, I didn’t pay him too much attention. 15 minutes later, I had finished my shopping and was headed for the cashiers. I happened to wander past the spices isle again, and the guy was still there. He was starting to look a little frazzled.
I asked him what he was looking for. With pleading eyes, he told me that his wife had put “table salt” on the grocery list… but all he could find was “Sea Salt”, “Garlic Salt”, and something called “Iodized”.
Oh… the humor.
