Eighty-seven dollars!?!?
I went to KMart at lunch time to take advantage of the weekly sale on:
Scott Tissue - 2 pkgs. (24 rolls) for $12
Tide Ultra - 2 (96 oz) for $15
(Side note: I tried the store brand version of Scott tissue, which was $1 cheaper for 12 rolls, but it didn't smell right. Since I sometimes use toilet tissue for nose blowin', I couldn't tolerate it.)
Right out of the gate, I expected to spend $30, and there were a couple of other small items on my list, but I sure didn't mean to spend that much.
I was followed all over the store by a big, biker guy. I kept waiting on him to speak to me, 'cause he sure looked like he wanted to, but he never managed to figure out what to say... I wasn't wigged, just fascinated. But yes, he was following me. I stopped in sections he had no apparent reason to be in, and he didn't pick anything up. For example, we spent a good 7-9 minutes comparing the various styles of ladies panties, with me actually contemplating a purchase and him just standing there beside me. I made my selection and moved on, to...facial tissue. Once again, he joined me, looked at me, looked at the choices, looked at me again, and then, I moved on, to...antacids! Well, Alka-seltzer, actually, for our first aid kit. And here came my non-verbal buddy.
We did this dance all over the store, until I finally lost him in cosmetics (fingernail polish remover) and checked out. How I live in my bizarre life...
BTW, I won the PayPal fraud issue. I get my money back from mystery man, Kumar! Jeez. What a lot of anxiety that created. Life would be so much easier if you could just punch people, you know? Folks'd sure act nicer if there was a risk they might justifiably get a fist in the face. Don'tcha think it's time to bring back social control???
