Grocery Store Hell Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

As you know, I hate shopping. Not because I don't like to buy stuff if I can afford it, it's just that stores are full of stupid people. You know what I mean.. The Chicken Kids (running like headless chicken), The Oldies (who block your way and never move above 1mph per year, the PUNKS who work there because they only hire PUNKS because PUNKS can't find other jobs, the soccer moms who both push a kid in the trollies that these days have attached god damn space ships so the kids can play and think they're on a ship, taking the whole ****ing space in the store, now imagine two of those going shoulder to shoulder, giggling about tampons, diapers and ******* husbands while totally NOT MOVING or going slower then The Oldies. It's just hell.

Not to mention 'we are doing our inventory, so you can't buy this crap right now'. Well why don't you close the store down, or do it out of business hours because I can't buy my stuff now bastards! Look.. but don't touch!!!

Today.. I discovered a whole new category, a category that is so small so I wil call them just stupid individuals because then I can put a whole bunch of people in them. I was in the line waiting to pay my food, but couple of people away in front of me was this sexy chick, right? I'm talking a total butt. As you know, I butts. I'm a buttfreak. No two ways about it. So I saw this perfect butt, in tight pants. Really tight. It was a VERY nice butt and I started staring at it, and then this dude between us is blocking my view! With his damn big coat and fur hat.. Old geezer! I'm trying to reposition myself for the perfect pipeline to heaven,... ONLY to see the geezer is totally blocking it all and my efforts are going in waste as I'm trying to get a good look at the perfect butt!!!

THEN I noticed.. the old geezer was actually getting a look himself! That bastard! Old dirty man.. the chick doesn't want old perverts to check out her butt... I'm still in the range, I'm in the range of 'yeah I could do it with him easily' but the geezer is OUT OF THE GAME! SO he has NO rights to be looking at that butt, if he's blocking MY view. You know, audience doesn't go into the field in the middle of a baseball game to get a better look. PLAYERS are in the field. Geezers CAN check out young perfect butts, but in order to do that they can't ruin anyone elses view, the ones who are higher in the priority class.

Does he know the rule? NO! The bastard just keeps standing there like a penguin with his big fur hat and oversized coat. I wanted to shout at that man so bad.. 'PADRE! GET OUT OF THE WAY! ANDELE!' .. a god damn old perv..

Anyway the next thing I do is pay my food and I find this game.. it's an old game where you push the buttons when they lit. I used to get great scores at it and out of nostalgia I repaired to the machine. I put the coins in and I'm still holding my bag of food and I realise damn I need to put this to ground first and as I 'm putting it and getting up, the game starts and the buttons lit and I miss it. Naturally, it was my own fault. BUT THEN THIS DAMN MACHINE KEEPS RUCKUS *DOJOJOJOJOJOOJOJOJOJOJOJ DOJOJOJOJOJOJOJO DOJOJOJOJOOJOJ* A never ending *LOSER* sound breaks the air *KABOOM* and there's like 334508723 million people who can possible check out my score of '0'. What is that? A racist machine I left so fast you could hear the sex 10 seconds after I left the building.

Anyway, I'm starting to hate grocery stores even more and not just because of the people that visit them, but beceause they deliberately ruin perfectly good shopping experience with these kind of crap things.

Pekka, don't begrudge the old coot his looks. He probably hungers after his old glory days when he was like you. I used to think the song "Thank Heavens, for Little Girls..." (from the musical Gigi) was a creepy pedophile song. Now that I'm a mite bit older, I understand it completely. If the young lady wishes to display a very nice butt, I would definitely take a gander. However, I do try to be circumspect. My wedding ring does not preclude window shopping, it only forbids touching the merchandise.

RIght And I reckon his need and right for it! however, he's out of the game, so he's blocking the ones that aren't, so he needs to find a position he's nto blocking us! I mean, it's enough we need to worry about how to get stuff done properly without some retired veteran coming in and blocking it for the rest of us.. sure, he can and should get a peak if he show wishes, and god bless him for it. BUT the trade off can't be this, we belong to the number 1 bracket in the quality of service while he's gotta hang in there and see if we left him something.. WHICH we might do, being a good guy I am, but after this sickening butt block, I'm not sure anymore!

Pekka, it's a pun. Peckish is a person he is being a bit harried and disgruntled. Next time just tap him on the shoulder, and ask the him "Do you mind letting me get a view too?" in a nice and carrying voice. She will either walk out in a huff, causing interesting movement of said butt, turn beet red in which case you can catch her outside the store and try to apolagize while getting her number or a slap (50-50 chance), or she may be into it in which case definitely get her number. Remember the car and cold hands - nothing ventured, nothing....

It's not about the butt, or the old perv, or the game, it's about grocery stores and they suck. If they didn't have any food in them, I'd never go.

Pekka - I was similarly dense once. Stores can be an awesome place to pick up girls. I enjoy flirting, and since I actually don't wear my wedding ring (getting it resized would be an admission that I will never get my weight back down, and I'm so damn close) I have had more attempted pickups by ladies between 38-41 then I ever had in my 20's. And many of them were quite attractive. Then I grew in my grey goatee and go shopping with my little girl, and so the young ladies have stopped trying to pick me up . I still smile and flirt amd compliment the ladies from 18-60 (could that be where my little angel picked up that behavior ), and the ladies still smile back.

van d-y-k-e is edited, I substituted goatee

Yeah and shopping is actually fun. The feeling of complete recklesness when you go and buy a 55 euro Alessi blow-up fruit bowl when your budget for the whole month is about 100 €. Its incredible! Not to mention when you get some extra, like 200 and you go buy 170 € painting the minute you saw it just because its damn well done and beautiful. Those kinds of things help you get through the rest of the monthbound to be a noodle one


Wanna see the painting btw? I love it

Tired of ads?

Let's see the painting then!

I have nothing on my walls.. I'm thinking I should get those cool posters like Scarface and few other cool ones, frame them and put them on the wall.. not like a stupid setting but cool and stylish. Very cost effective. I'm also hunting a cheap bed because right now I don't have one and I'm sleeping on the floor Under 20 euros would be a good price. We'll see. Exciting hunt

Okay here is:

Its actually a wood mosaic in somekind of acryl mass. Its done by this Iranian artist living here in Finland though I think it has japanese simplicity in it. I bought it because it was well made, was beautiful and reminds Japanese and art nouveau wich I'm insane about.

I hate the "chicken kids" the most. I guess it is cultural but Mexican parents don't seem to control their kids as well as most native born American parents. That means the kids are usually running around the store with no supervision while they scream, yell, open boxes, run into old people, and generally behave like jackasses. I would love to see a law requiring public flogging of lazy parents who don't bother to supervise their progeny.

I can tell you from experience behind the counter that certainly isn't the case from my view. Hell the immigrants (Mexican or otherwise) I check out keep more controll over hteir children than most people that were born and raised here.

I suppose it could depend upon which part of Mexico they come from but here in California I most certainly am not the only person to notice this. The loudest critics I know of this practice are American born people of Mexican decent.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

laurentius pretty cool myself I like simple and clean style in art. I'm not much of an art person, I mean I don't know the styles too much, but I know what I like..I'm kind of picky though. I don't have anything now and I'll go with some posters so.. eh.

Anyway, I was just struck with a huge fortune. My dad called me up, first of all he never calls me so it was refreshing, plus he had good news, he had bought a new washing machine because the old one has leaked water for few years already. Not a lot, but enough to be annoyance, because the washing machine wasn't in the toilet like in some small apartments. But you see, in my new place, I have a place for that in the toilet because the shower is also there etc, so it doesn't matter if it leaks a little water, doesn't matter at all. SO I just got a free washing machine, meaning I don't have to use the laundry anymore which was necessarily evil to this day! Woot!

THEN he told me he was visiting his buddy and helping him out I guess because he was carryign some stuff to recycling center, because he is also moving so he threw away some stuff. He had few office chairs, because he had his office in his home, and was throwing those away too. My dad says they were in great condition, so he grabbed the best of them for me as well. So now I have a good chair too, free of charge! Then I'm getting this sofa for two for about.. well that plus a cool level for my tv, both in great conditiion and good looking and good for like 40 euros from this other student, so I'm getting a whole set of furniture and machinery for less than 50 euros I cant' believe my luck.. it's like a string of fortunes happening every week. Now I need a great office table for my computer, a cool carpet, bed, and that's it I'm set. Also a cool coffee table for the sofa I'm thinking.. I can't believe I'm getting this done with less than 100 euros.. . And having the quality in normal instead of 'ex-crack-house-design'. .. But it is like you know.. have to be creative at this stage of your life.. if you aren't, then good luck with the empty flat and empty fridge. Teaches you things. I know the ****ing value of money! .

Pekka - laundry mats can be very cool places to hit on girls. Stop being so irritated and instead look for the opportunities. A nice girl with a bush is worth two hotties on-line (very bad quote mangle ).

A girl with a bush is worth nothing and two hotties on-line are worth the pics they sent, about 20 cents.

I have my nets set already.. I intend to capture a nice one. This is no problem. Screw the laundry place though. I rather have my own now that I can .

But you have a positive look at things so this is good, you will live longer than average person.

Suffering from ads?

I certainly hope you are right - they have me on three different high blood pressure meds, two at max doses (family history), a statin, and I'm in the middle of having my job outsourced and losing my retirement. On the other hand I have a wonderful daughter who charms the socks off everybody, and at two years of age you can count the major fusses she has in a month on both hands. I know many people who would trade just on the health part, let alone the behaviro, so it always helps to remember the context.

Good luck with the young lady you have in mind - and remember it's like catching a bird by salting it's tail - if you can see the girl's bush (in person)...
