Today at the grocery store I had to wait behind a woman at the dairy cooler who was systematically loading up on ALL the quarts of half and half (which is what I was waiting to snag).

You know, because, anxiety and also… what is she doing that requires that much half and half?

Congratulate yourself: You're not going to jail for taking part in a miserable scheme to defraud, exploit, and damage other vulnerable human beings for your own amusement.

The bars are so low these days!
