♪♪ 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.
