Mrs. Grumpy sent me to Local Grocery for ice cream, tomatoes, and other stuff.
The guy in front of me in line had Tardive Dyskinesia and kept leaning over my cart to see what I was buying and DROOLED ON THE TOMATOES! THEN THE ICE CREAM! THEN THE OTHER STUFF!
I understand you can't control Tardive Dyskinesia, sir. I do this for a living. But you don't need to repeatedly drool on my groceries.
What's the problem here? Free marinating service!
ReplyDeleteso did u park your cart and go to another store. Serves you right for using a cart! You know you only needed a shopping basket!
ReplyDeleteNext time keep things which are important too you close and out from under the mouths of perfect strangers. I hope Mrs. Grumpy gave you a talkin' to when you got home!
Eeeeeeewwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOn a different note, I LOVE chopped tomatoes sprinkled with salt on hot white rice.

I'd be thinking of presenting the stuff to the clerk, and saying, "This man drooled on them, you might not want to put them back" and go get more. But then I'd be too shy to do it and I'd just buy the stuff, and kick myself for being a wuss, and be grossed out by drooled-on tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteDid you just leave the cart and go to the another store.

After he left I told the clerk, and exchanged them for un-drooled merchandise.
ReplyDeleteOnce while I was at the check-out a woman in front of me turned and sneezed on my groceries. That was when I understood the difference between our culture and the Japanese. If someone is ill in their culture they wear a mask when out in public. We, on the other hand, wear masks in self-defense.
ReplyDeleteGo figger.
"Grosseries" Clever title!
ReplyDeleteThat's so nasty!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever think of growing a tomato plant or two? Might save you a trip to the store on occasion.
There are few benefits to geting old. One is that I am seldom embarrassed or inhibited and will say almost anything to almost anyone.
ReplyDeleteAt this point in my life, I would have no hesitation in difficulty in telling someone not to drool on my groceries.
Probably, though, he would then pull out a gun and shoot me.
okay, that is just nasssssssssssssssttttyyyy!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEw!
ReplyDeleteIt's like some bad/weird dream where your patients follow you no matter where you are. I'm surprised there wasn't someone next you eating her entire McDonald's meal on your cart.
ReplyDeleteIs this what Neurologist hell is like?

This one wasn't my patient.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I run into my patients any more then normal in a large city.
Neurology hell is a room full of other neurologists.
Maybe his TD is a SE of atypical antipsychotic - in which case you probably don't want to make him angry.....
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty gross!!! I think I would have had to take all that stuff back and not buy it!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not old, but I've managed to become pretty inappropriate.
ReplyDeleteThat said, even miss manners would probably approve of a "excuse me sir, I believe you are drooling on my groceries"
