meganbmoore Talking to prozacparkabout ages a little while ago, I was reminded of fun times at Wal-Mart earlier today. Well, yesterday.
Basically, I needed toilet bowl cleaner, and I prefer to use self-checkout unless I'm getting something that I know has to be approved because of age. Which apparently includes toilet bowl cleaner.
So the lady came over and saw what was wrong, looked at me, looked at the date, then looked at me again. I told her I was 27. She punched in the approval code and said there was no need to exaggerate. (I guess she thought I was being snippy? It wasn't my intention, I thought she just needed me to clarify...Anyway...)
I DO NOT LOOK THAT YOUNG!!
...
Do I?
(Mind you, only a few on the f-list could actually answer that...)
Really, I'm used to being mistaken for a college student, but it's been a while since someone wasn't sure if I was legal or not.
What is it that's the danger with toilet bowl cleaners, anyway?
Also, I would like to announce that, while examining the 99 cent aisle at the bookstore, I tried very hard to diversify my reading (or at least my backlog) a bit. Which means I very womanfully tried to resist my instinctive tendency to sniff at anything that isn't historical/fantasy/sf adventure/romance/mystery. With limited results. I'll likely unleash the recent acquisitions into the wilds of the backlog after a couple things I'm waiting for get in.
And now I shall stop spamming you. And go to bed.
