After considering this, I'm not sure the murder/suicide vlog is of any value anymore. Who cares anymore why any particular dude goes on a killing spree. Every kind of frustration can be used as a pretense for mass murder. If people didn't care about it before, current events tells us people will still not care about it even if you achieve an active killer high score.

Vanity of vanities, even active killing is vain.

I normally have them delivered before I get up or right before I get home and just have the porter leave them outside my front door so the dogs aren't disturbed.

I'm not going to lie that looks pretty awesome.

UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA... PLEASE WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE...

I had that stupid drat thing go off twice in a row once. It's like all the major retailers bought from the exact same company and all their self-checkouts suck. It still beats the alternative of getting in line behind:

  • Person with a completely full cart
  • Person with a bag full of a hundred coupons
  • Person who insists on letting their toddler put all the items on the conveyor belt, do the credit card reader, and frankly anything other than sit in the cart and keep quiet
  • Person with a bag full of a hundred coupons who argues with the cashier about which items are accepted and which aren't
  • Person who initiates long, personal conversation with the cashier
  • Combinations of the above

When there's fifteen regular checkouts, fifty customers, and three lines are open while a sleepy teenage floor manager listlessly calls for team members to come up to the front... if they feel like it.

Oops I brought this clearly damaged/open item to the checkout, can you have someone go get a better one for me? Yes of course I'll wait.

Going to the grocery store doesn't bother me at all, if there's a line I'll just chat with someone in front or behind me, but you know what I do hate? Going to the bank. It's always a huge pain in my rear end but luckily it's pretty rare that I have to actually go inside for whatever reason.

Grocery stores have a lot more leverage than most stores you shop at (can treat customers less well than many other stores before it has a serious impact) because they sell straight-up necessities and for a lot of people there's only one specific grocery store they can reasonably buy from (e.g. only one store within reasonable distance).

This. If you can't you're not shopping often enough, having to get a shitload of stuff each trip, and prolly aren't keeping things at peak freshness. I hit the grocery every four or five days. If you are going to the grocery often and still can't take all your poo poo inside with one load then loving lmao you godamn noodley-armed bitch.

He's just angry because he can't reach the olives on the shelves above the pickles. Hand him down a jar or two and he'll perk right up.

This is the way to do it. I work nights so I usually go around 8 am. Nobody around, and I'm usually in and out in half an hour. It's a completely stress free experience.

All of these people should die. In basic training in the military I often had to stand heel-to-toe in line and it's the loving wooooorst. I'll never do that poo poo again and when somebody is touching me in a line I'll turn around and (not in an rear end in a top hat fashion, but firmly) ask them to please back up.

Seriously though guys, only keep certain things frozen and just go to the grocery every four or five days, planning the next few days accordingly. It's nice to just go "What do I wanna eat in the next few days?" and just get what you need rather than making huge trips and planning meals around what you already have/need to use.

The grocery store does suck, which is why things like Hy Vee Aisles exists. Free delivery if your order is > 100 or free pickup if its not. WTF would you ever go to the grocery store again when they will bring the poo poo to you?

I refuse to believe you're not paying for the convenience somehow, be it through marked up items or a straight fee. I wouldn't be surprised if sale prices don't apply either since they often depend on getting multiples of the item.

I like to turn very slowly around and stand so that our noses are basically touching, really emphasizing how weirdly close we are, open my eyes REALLY wide, and go "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" in the highest pitch possible voice. It works especially well at night
