Two packages of muffins because I've never seen an individual package leave Church

you will be corrected and shamed if you only bring one muffin pack to the checkout as a runner is dispatched to sprint to the bakery and collect the forgotten muffin brethren for you.

Oh god the time I only grabbed one sleeve of bagels I was so ashamed I stopped the person from running back and did it myself at pace. Just tape the packages together if you have to buy them like that!

We waste so much labor running back to get bagels danish and muffins. I really don't understand why we don't keep a rack of each near check out.

You have to fill up a full tank at $80. But you only have to pay $20 to fill up half a tank. - Shaq math

I almost impulse bought one of those massage guns last week but then thought better of it and didn't.

Right now I have a nasty cramp in my shoulder/neck to the point I can't turn my head and I've never regretted a decision so hard. The closest thing I've had to relief was tricking my 3 year old to jump up and down on my back which probably isn't the smartest thing but I don't care.
