Strange Shopping Adventures ... :)

Strange Shopping Adventures ... :) I so adore being in the kitchen, especially baking all kinds of yummy sweet treats! Definitely was born to feed people - including the lawn mower dude and the repairmen. The last time the heater guy was here, on his way out, he asked me where his care package was! No heat - my limbs and piercings numb from the cold made me forget my manners ... Not many things I don't do without being turned into my I-POD. Including the dreaded food stores. The other customers and employees really wish that I my IPOD would fall to the ground and break - LOL - multiple times. Like one of those slow motion video clips. Yeppers - the American Idol peeps would tear me to shreds ... Stuff always happens to me at food stores. It doesn't matter which one or what time of day or nite. It's become highly problematic - GGGRRR!!! Once I was standing in line for the self checkout. When it was my turn, I walked up to the machine and scanned my card. Everything went black. There was silence. Lots of silence. Yeppers - the power went out - LOL - like fucking seriously! The thingy is that doors automatically locked. That feeling of being trapped swirled thru my brain - setting off a panic attack. I could feel myself starting to hyperventilate. It took a huge amount of focus to take out my cell and call someone. It seemed like forever before she answered - in reality it was only a few minutes. Her voice was like a gawdsend. She talked me down, the lites came back on, the machines all lit up and started making this horrendous resetting sound. Come to find out later the emergency generator kicked in. This was one piece of information that I am thankful that I didn't know at the time. Generators are not "real electric" ... While on the phone, as calmly as I could, I started to check out. The scanners were still coming back to life and this process was not swift. Over and over, kept having to scan the same items. Finally, I was done, paid, and started to walk out. I felt a tap on my shoulder, it was the lady from the self checkout, bringing me a few bags that I left. If I had to go back and get them, no way I would have. All I could think of was this: exit - do not pass go - do not collect $200.00. Still on the phone, approaching the door, hoping they would open. It was somewhat obvious that I was having issues. This was evidenced by someone asking me if I needed help getting to my car. I am sure they were thinking a padded cell would be better ... I declined and proceeded to my vehicle and packed my car. I got it and just sat there, still on the phone. Decompression time. All I could think of was being trapped - trapped like a rat in a cage - no way out. Trapped. Memories came flooding back. It was a good 20 minutes before I could drive the 10 minutes home ... Then, there was the time this lady was following me round the store. Staring at me. After bout 20 minutes, she finally walks up to me says to me "you hit my car last week.". Uuuummm - yeah - I don't think so lady. She starts to tell me who how my white van dented her "sports car" - her "expensive sports car". That's all nice and dandy, lady, considering I don't drive a white van ... Of course, there is the time, just recently, while in Walmart I saw someone that had a walker and was a bit disabled trying to carry one of those huge bins. He dropped it several times. Asking him if he needed help getting to check out, he freaked the fuck out on me. Guess that was a noooo ... So, yeah, generally speaking, stores and me, especially food ones, we really aren't friends. Nor acquaintances. A shopping slave in my life would rather helpful ...   In Luv, Lite, Laffter ... |

It's funny!! Somehow, I have learned to be cool and not to panic for small stuff. I also spend plenty of time in kitchen. During summer, I do shop at farmer's market.

I am so sorry that happened to you sweetie, and some people are strange indeed. You know when my hubby and I first got together we were shopping one night and Luckys Supermarket, well we were going aisle to aisle and she kept following us around the store. And she kept checking out my hubby, so I turned around smiled at her and said hello the meat department is over there this is my piece of meat...She looked shocked turned around and walked away..I was smiling and my hubby was laughing..There is many strange things that happen while shopping.. Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..
