Things you wish you could say

When I finally get to the checkout -- after not being able to locate anyone in the store to help me -- and the person at the register asks me: "Did you find everything?" I want to say, "Why? Did you purposely hide something?"

I’m on the opposite end with the register and so totally get it! We’re supposed to ask, “Did you find everything you were looking for?” It’s not only annoying but it’s pointless! If they say “No I didn’t,” what am I supposed to do? Shoo them out of the line after telling them where to find it? Wait an extra 10 minutes to have someone bring the product while being timed at how long the process is taking? Obviously you apologise—while feeling awkward the entire time through check out because there is nothing you can do. Have a nice day!

I have known parents who buy presents for their non-birthday child so they don't feel bad about sibling getting them! reality check??

Been there, had that done to me. Sucks big time.

"I didn't ask about your personal life -- stop shoving it in my face."

Fine, no more insider info for you!

As far as pets go, he's pretty low maintenance. As far as a fiance goes, he's terrible. I hope you figure it out before it's too late.

We know exactly who you are talking about.

"I've been researching getting chickens for months and I've decided to do___ *all the wrong things*"
Well, that's not the best way to do any of that, it's not good for your chickens.
"I RESEARCHED AND I KNOW IT'S OKAY"
Where? Not here, you didn't.
What half baked Amazon blog by some family who has "always wanted to live in the country and have chickens and we're writing a blog on our experience even though our go to chicken information Center is other novelty chicken bloggers on some design website "because farming is in!" gave you your info?

"Hey, I bought some chicks a few weeks ago because they were soooo cuuuute and tiiinny....so how do I take care of these?"

I bet if I stepped on your foot, your scalp would flip up, and I could see that your brain is soooo cuuuute and tiiinny. Tell me, do you hear a slight rattling sound when you move your head.
Why would you buy living things on a whim?

I despise "pity posts" by people you joined just to make said pity post.
"My chickie died and I'm so sad."
....Your point? Did you join just so you can pout?

"My chicken is acting funny??!! I simply don't know how I'll bear it if it dies!

*grabs lapels and starts to shake* ( it's a pity lapels are out of fashion on everyday wear) You WILL bear it because you can't save them all no matter what you do. Acting pathetic won't get you any sympathy from most people here. And above all, it's just a chicken! For crying out loud, quit starring in your soap opera and tell us what's what makes you think your chicken is ill.

"What happens if you cross a ____ with an Easter egger?"
(Say it with me, class) An easter egger is genetic roulette, the chicks could look like anything.
"Yeah, I know, but what will that look like? Does anyone have pics ?"
Look in a mirror, you noodle.

And all the times I've wanted to say:
"Is there an adult we can talk to?"
Only to find out that the poster is an adult.



We need And for post reactions.

When I finally get to the checkout -- after not being able to locate anyone in the store to help me -- and the person at the register asks me: "Did you find everything?" I want to say, "Why? Did you purposely hide something?"

(This seriously made me think of the time when I was at the store, it was pretty late, and I was fairly frustrated because I couldn't find the things I was looking for. I was checking out, and the checkout person asked me cheerfully, "Did you find everything you were looking for?" And I said, "No." She then smiled and said, "That's great!"
I don't think she heard what I said, and honestly, I just think she was tired and wasn't really listening - just trying to be friendly after her long hours of working. But still...)

I call EEs genetic potlucks. Because there's always the family that brings the weird thing that no one else wants to a potluck

Was it me? Sound like something I would do while tired ! Especially after the person ahead was supper difficult. You kind of get in a routine and when someone says something you’re not expecting, you’re like, “That’s great! ” then it hits you, “Wait, what? That person...Oh well... NEXT!”
