Reality Check by Dave Whamond for March 18, 2024

story of my life

I get my hand damp from the sprayers they have over the vegetables. Then my fingers can grip to open the filmy plastic.

They’re time killers alright.

Ralph’s comment is great.

But he did eventually get both ends open!

… during a pandemic …

been there, bagged that…

The real challenge will begin when there is arthritis in both thumbs. Before that is child’s play.

Not an issue for me. I order delivery.

I bring my own reusable produce bags.

Ha! Now that’s funny!

Pffft! … plastic bags! I just wear my cargo pants! Every time I leave, the employees always wanna play football for some reason. I don’t mind playin’… but I’m gettin’ a little sore from being tackled so much.

I think I’ll put it on my resume

Doesn’t he mean, I was locked in my house hoping to survive?

Was he living on cookies and candy during that time?

That had to be the most traumatic time I’ve ever spent grocery shopping…

Not a problem. After I take too long, my wife snatches them away from me & does it herself …!

( one of my ways of saying I need you )

I saw quite a few people during covid try to lick their finger to open them, forgetting they had mask on.

Wearing a mask at the time didn’t help – hard to lick your fingers to get a grip.

!. Scan for observers, 2. If none, spit on thumb and forefinger, 3. Press and slide same on correct edge.

He was home quarantined by Covid. What, weren’t YOU?

There’s another unexplained gap when he was standing in line at the check-out behind an old lady with a hand full of coupons and a coin purse.

I was busy recovering from being run over by a car on a separated bike lane, and right after that from falling mortally sick from unrecognized diabetes.

I bring in my own disinfectant wipes.

self checkout is the best thing since sliced bread. the only attitude you have to deal with is your own… ☺

and to add insult to injury, one of the items he bought was sealed in one a them blister packs, which cut his wrist wide open, ended up in the hospital, got a bad infection, which took months to heal while he was in a coma……

Like the plastic wrapped pair or scissors where you need a pair of scissors to get into it.
