No More Than 10 Items

Perhaps one of the biggest problems I have in this world are those people that think they can go to the express lane no matter what.

The rules say "No More than 10 Items" and guess what... that means you can not have anymore things in your cart than 10 items. Sometimes, I will be a little leniant, if the person in front of me has 11 or 12... that's fine.

The point of this lane is EXPRESS. That's why it's called the Express Lane and that's why grocery stores have invoked the "No More than 10 Items" rule. If you have more than 10 items it is no longer express and they would call it the "Not Very Express Lane" or the "Almost an Express Lane if People Would Please Not Bring More than 10 Items". With that said, it's not a request, it's a rule.

So, needless to say, when I went to the store today and I had one item, I wanted to go quickly. I thought, "hmm.. the express lane is made just for me in this situation." However, the stupid lady in front of me had more than 10 items... she clearly had more than 10 items... I quickly glanced at her cart and I could immidiately tell she had more than 10 items. In fact, the register had a little counter of the total number of items and you know how many she had? 25!!! I'm not joking, this stupid person thought they could sneak by an extra 15 items.

Well, needless to say, this McBoob wasn't happy with her.

"Excuse me," I said. "Do you know this is an express lane? In fact, inches above your head it says No More than 10 Items..."
She stared at me.
"I mean," I said. "You're really slowing everyone down. I'm probably going to miss my hair appointment now."
She continues staring at me.
"I mean," I said. "You're probably the most inconsiderate, stupid, and ugliest person I have ever met."
Then she started crying... but everyone around me agreed. They all started cheering and clapping and chanting "McBoob... McBoob... McBoooooob!"

Sincerely,
Frank U. McBoob

  • What did you do, steal that bit from a Carrot Top album? Geez, dude. Get some original material.

  • I didn't steal anything, this actually happened today. I'm not lying.

    Anyway, I've never watched Carrot Top in my entire life... but it's not surprising that you would know this is one of his bits.

    I hate Carrot Top as much as Bridget... if not more.
