♪♪  Don't you please, don't you please, please don't you be my neighbor!  ♪♪

At Home Depot, I decided to take a rest and sit on one of the garden furniture swings inside one of those netted gazebos, so I pulled my shopping cart close to me so I wouldn't be in anyone's way.  So here comes Mr. and Mrs. Dorkus, who start leaning on my cart, inspecting the gazebo mosquito netting (which they could have done at 3 other places around this structure), then Mrs. Dorkus grabs a garden furniture catalog out of my cart.  I told her, "Hey that's mine, lady," and she looked befuddled which was not surprising.  I commented that the cart also had a box of nails and 2 tomato plants in it, so IT OBVIOUSLY BELONGED TO SOMEBODY.  Apparently I was invisible.  Then these types of people just stare at you, to which I added, "Boy, I'm glad you're not my neighbors."  Could there be any other explanation for messing with someone else's purchases, other than being brain dead or perhaps blotto'd on vodka, or probably both?

What's even worse is when you manage to get the last couple sale items, you leave your cart for a minute to go to the rest room, and when you return, the sale items have been taken out of your cart.  Grrrr.

YOUR OBTRUSIVE SHOPPERS WERE MOST LIKELY FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY LIKE IRAQ AND THEY EXPECTED YOU AS AN AMERICAN NOT ONLY TO PAY FOR THEIR GOODS,ALSO TO SHOP FOR THEM..

This is why I go in the store, get what I need , pay for it, and head on home.
Quick , easy , and done.

...that Hillary Clinton wants to be in the village that raises all the children.  Or possibly they are the ones that were already raised by the village she's always touting.  Reminds me I need to go post about that saying coming from the same place we are mortified about because they give their children automatic machine guns to go fight wars at age 7 and 8....

Next time, load some mouse traps in that cart, just don't forget you put them there before handing them to the girl in the checkout line.
