Le 27 décembre 2004.
When you have just spent the last twenty minutes hunting for toilet paper only to then spend another ten minutes in shock that the cheap toilet paper actually comes in white, not just the usual green, pink, and violet.
When you have shock your fellow shoppers and the checkout girl by taking not one, but two cans of peanut butter from the unmarked American Foods section, under the marked Chinese Food section, in the Foreign Products aisle.
When you realize that you have spent ten minutes searching the Foreign Foods aisle for the unmarked American Foods section.
When you’re the one the checkout girl is trying to understand because you’re the one with the accent and gross mispronunciations.
When you were wishing you owned one of those handy little Granny-grocery-getter carts because the bitty plastic bags are biting into your hand.
When you realize that the traffic in the parking lot is getting screwed up because you are the only person not to have noticed and utilized the nifty little covered walkway to the bus stop from the store’s entrance.
When your choices for cheese outnumber your choices for milk.
When you are excited to see fresh, non-UHT milk, but decide not to buy it because it costs five times as much as the litre of UHT milk.
When you realize that you are still excited about white toilet paper eight hours after you found it.
