I can't believe I ate the whole thing
because I didn't want to look indecisive by turning around on the street that I was on
Probably opens the batting here too.TIL NZT is English
I'd hate to think how much money I've spent in my lifetime doing this one.if I've been in there for ages and can't find what I'm after, I'll often throw the store a few dollars for a drink or candy because I feel like I've wasted their time
Nah I don't worry that much.Bet NZT worries about what the cashier at the supermarket thinks of his week's purchases
That's what the self-checkout was really designed for.Nah I don't worry that much.
That said, in the past I've made sure to throw in some veges, fruit and yoghurt to make the 3 bags of doritos and dips seem less sad.
So glad they were invented, but after a while I got so frustrated with the "place the item in the bagging area" meme that would happen every. ****ing. Time. I enjoyed going back to regular checkouts.That's what the self-checkout was really designed for.
i thought flem made this thread then i re-read the OPi would turn around if i knew you were back there flem
I need to know more about their distinctive "look" before I decide whether to judge you harshly or not for turning down ***.One assumes they're a student at where I work, and were in the University Health waiting room (which is cheap for staff, and convenient af). At the time I was chatting to her on Tinder I found out a friend died, and was sad, to the point I mentioned it. She came back with an initially sympathetic reply, then offered - basically - ***. Most guys would possibly go 'wey hey' but I found it immensely repulsive for some reason and said maybe 2 more things then ghosted them. They had a very distinctive 'look' so wasn't hard to be reminded who they were. Made eye contact then have managed to avoid her ever since.
if there is a road nice to the sidewak I will usually walk onto the road, overtake them, then go back onto the sidewalkIf I'm walking at night and there's a woman walking in front of me, my mind quickly races to find how to overcome this ordeal without the person thinking I'm a stalker/serial killer.
I have to consider the following:
- I'm a light treader so if I suddenly catch up to her she'll be startled
- Can't walk too fast because she'll be scared as the footsteps grow louder when I catch up
- Can't walk too slow because I want to get where I'm going tonight
So I usually pretend to be on the phone and loudly say non threatening stuff like "oh hows mom" and quickly overtake the person
Good shout, this.If I'm walking at night and there's a woman walking in front of me, my mind quickly races to find how to overcome this ordeal without the person thinking I'm a stalker/serial killer.

I used this sort of approach yesterday.What I will do here is get to the nearest junction, have a look around like I'm looking for someone, sigh audibly and then go back the other way.
