For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    The little separator bars on the conveyor belts thingies at the cashier in a super market should always be placed for the person behind you. If the bozo in front of me wants to pay for my shit he can go right ahead.

      A few weeks ago I went to the grocery to buy a few chocolate bars. The guy in front of me had a bunch of stuff and I placed my chocolate on the belt wayyyyy behind his stuff in a little pile. To me it looked obvious that it was not part of his purchases. I didn’t even think of using the separator thing. I was very tired at the time and not paying much attention.

      Of course…the cashier grabbed my candy and rang it up with his stuff. Dude in front of me nicely told her that those were not his. The cashier apologized, I apologized, and then the cashier started going through the corporate point-of-sale-obstacle-course of undoing the chocolate candy from his purchase.

      At this point, the other customer was more than ready to get out of there, “Don’t worry about it. I don’t mind buying his chocolate and I really don’t have time for this.” Embarrassed, I apologized again. He said don’t sweat it, buddy and left.

      I got a serious gangster vibe off the guy, too. I thought damn…did the mob just buy me chocolate?

      So yeah…your idea could save a life!

        What kind of chocolate was it, it’s important.

          Sigh…don’t judge me. It was just a handful of Snickers bars. I have trying some of the better stuff from Aldi, but this was a crappy grocery store that just happened to be close to where we have game night, so I popped in and bought some for the group.
