People Out Here.

So I'm sitting here at Jury duty waiting and I'm remembering some interesting members of society I experienced yesterday. First at Costco there was this young couple with a kid who looked about 17. White awkward family photos type of people. Hard to explain but from the moment I noticed them while getting a shopping cart outside, standing behind me while I scanned my membership card and every time they were within earshot of me like they were stalking me and all the way out back into the parking lot after we were done I could hear the dad (assuming?)  reciting Bible verses and making the kid repeat them like he was indoctrinating him.  It was so fucking weird. Religion is already weird without witnessing this totally bizarre training session inside of the Costco. 

The I had to return a thing at Walmart. I usually try to avoid this place but they had the Xmas lights I needed. (yea I know I just went off on Christianity and I'm decorating for Xmas. Fuck you. I needed some cheer) anyway so I'm in the return line and there is this super old man 2 people before me and a little old lady with a shopping cart who let's me go in front of her because she's just waiting for her husband. Then she points to the old man. In the cart is just her big ass purse and a pack of Depent diapers.  While we're waiting she saunters up to the man, turns an makes a sinister smile and reaches up to her husband's ear to tickle it. He doesn't react so she does it again with no reaction. She looks back at us and shrugs her shoulders and heads back to her cart.  When the guy gets up there whatever business he's conducting requires him to give his phone number but he doesn't know it. He slowly fumbles in his jacket pocket for his phone and his wife comes to help.  The cashier asks if she knows his number by heart and she says "no..." pauses looks at her audience, winks and then says "but his girlfriend does"

Fucking hilarious. They're probably shitty republican Trump voters but it was a cute exchange. 

Happy Holidays everyone.
