Dear Self, Become a Hermit Immediately. Love, Self
I detest grocery shopping.
I hate thinking about the calories sitting in my cart. I hate trying to find food I can actually eat. And I especially hate handing over my bank card.
It’s all bullshit.
Last night when faced with starvation I ignored the hatred and headed to Harmons.
While trying to find the perfect apple I heard someone behind me.
“Ma’am I think you dropped your shopping list.”
I ignored the shit out of him.
“Excuse me… ma’am you dropped something.”
I wasn’t about to let someone get away with calling me ma’am, so I continued to ignore the shit out of him.
“MA’AM DID YOU HEAR ME? I think you dropped your shopping list.”
“Of course I heard you. I’m just ignoring you.”
“Excuse me?”
“I said I was ignoring you. I don’t respond when people call me names.”
“I’m sorry ma’am, you must have heard me wrong. I didn’t call you a name.”
“THERE YOU GO AGAIN. Stop calling me that!”
I placed the apples in my cart and in a dramatic huff turned and walked away. Just as I was about to leave the produce section I hear a booming voice.
“MISS, I THINK YOU FORGOT YOUR KEGEL EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS.”
Fuck. My. Life.

was written on the back of this:

I thought I was all ‘Miss Green Party Hero’ for recycling the homework from my gynecologist. Instead, I was ‘Asshole of the Day’ for being a dick to someone trying to help.
I’d like to say I learned my lesson, but that would be a lie. And I don’t have time to worry what the karmic reaction is for lying. I’m going to be very busy trying to figure out how to punch karma in the balls.

Dude. You need to move to a more liberal state, where the word “ma’am” is pretty much illegal and where people do Kegals while shopping. Then you wouldn’t be embarassed anymore.
Holy shit! I can’t stop laughing! That. Is. Hilarious!
Grocery shopping with you at the Ghetto WalMart was a highlight of my life.
Also? Now that you have taught me how to tie a scarf, you should teach me about firming up my lady bits. Heh
What I want to read is the post about how you figured out how to punch karma in the balls. THAT is information worth having. Ma’am.
Ummm. I think you got that for already trying to punch karma in the balls.
Priceless!
