Chit Chat

Guys, I'm losing my mind.

In the grocery store. H and I make it halfway through going down all of the aisles when he tells me he's going to go back to get something. I continued on without him and made it through about 4 more aisles accumulating things as I go.

Then I get to the end at produce and realize I stole someone's shopping cart probably at that halfway point. It's half full of someone else's stuff and half full of what I've gathered from the second half of my shopping trip.

At that moment, a small girl walks up to me and asks me to help her find her dad. So there I am walking through the grocery store with someone else's cart and someone else's child.

I still cannot stop dying laughing at myself.

I never did find whoever needed that toilet paper and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer despite announcing loudly to everyone in produce that I had stolen someone's cart. 


Luckily I found the child's parents.

Re: Guys, I'm losing my mind.

  • That is so funny.


    DH is bad about stealing people's carts. I found him pushing a cart with like  6 loafs of bread and other random stuff we would never buy the other day.  I'm like "WTH?"






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    @lyndausvi that made me bust out laughing. I'm SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE! People were trying hard to stifle laughter in produce when I made my cart-stealing announcement. It was pretty hysterical. 

    ETA: I still feel bad for the poor person who was like WTF happened to my cart?
  • @missax  - not weird at all.  I was wondering too.   Or did you have to go back and restock they cart?

  • I'm really impressed your H saw the cart and realized it was yours.  I'm pretty sure Fi wouldn't have noticed.

  • That is too funny!
  • This is definitely hilarious!!

    Have you ever the show Impractical Jokers? They do pranks and they had a whole episode in a grocery store. They had to put pencils in people's pockets without them noticing. They had to take from people's cart withhout them noticing. So funny because the kids always notice and the pranksters just give the "ssshhh" symbol and the kid laughs and goes along with it.

    I confused a cop so bad one time. My friend flew from my homestate (MA) to where I was living (AZ) to pack up my car and drive back to MA as I was moving back. So my friend was speeding and got pulled over in Indiana. The cop was like this doesn't add up. You're in Indiana right now, with an AZ license plate and you just handed me a MA driver's license. WTF?! It was great.

    I have not seen the show! Clearly, I would be really good at it! I will have to look it up and perhaps enter myself as a prankster. ;)

    And that's great re: the cop. Did you guys get a ticket after all?

    Yeah, I hadn't thought of that. That was pretty impressive.

    You might wanna check that he doesn't have a bench warrant out there:  http://www.drivinglaws.org/resources/traffic-tickets/traffic-laws/determining-you-have-a-warrant-unpaid-traffic-tickets

    Hate for him to be arrested years later!

    Oh I'm sure he does but doesn't care. My brother got arrested in Virginia for the same thing. They didn't bring him to jail because he was on a road trip with his 3 year old son.

  • That is really funny. I looove impractical jokers and that is def the sort of thing they do. But they do it on purpose. If you get a chance to watch it, the episode at chinese buffet is my favorite.
