see more Historic LOL
I just now discovered Historic LOL thanks to LeeAnn.
Due to the sharing of the only car capable of getting up and down our driveway last week I had to wait until Saturday to go to Wal-mart. Inside was only the usual level of Saturday terribleness. The parking lot was worse than at Christmastime. It was full of huddled masses sitting in their cars waiting for up to 10 minutes at a time for other huddled masses to back out of parking spaces.

Well, on the other end of things: I went to a local gift shop to get a birthday present for a friend and wound up experiencing a cranky older woman screaming about how everything “cost too much” (go to Wal-mart then, you bat) and a super-entitled woman making a list of all the Pandora jewelry she expected her husband to buy her…
Conversion to hermit: 82% complete.

I’ve been more willing to go to WalMars since I decided it was not a festering pit of random jerkometry, but a barrel in which to hone my fish-shooting skills.

What’s stupid is the parking lots at most Walmarts are huge, but everyone wants those select few spots closest to the entrance so they don’t have to haul their rolls of fat too far. I never have trouble parking because I don’t mind walking a bit. (I do have trouble not getting run over in the parking lot by the other idiots, but that’s another story.)

I just wish the dang stores would put a few cart corrals in the “back 40.” I have no problem with walking a mile to get to the store, but it’s wearying to walk the mile back to the car, put the groceries in, walk a half-mile to the nearest corral to leave my cart, and THEN back to the car.
And no, before you ask, I am too nice of a person to just leave the cart in the middle of the parking space like EVERYONE ELSE DOES.
People always ask “where’s my flying car?” I’d rather have the Star Trek food replicator, so I’d never have to shop again.

It drives me crazy when people sit and wait on a parking space when starting just two or three spaces down there are dozens of other parking spaces. I think it’s like a game with some people – like the closer they can get the more “points” they get.
I’m totally with you regarding the Star Trek replicator. Or the transporter. I don’t want to use it to go anywhere but maybe if it existed companies would use that to send stuff instead of shipping, so I could order fresh food or whatever I wanted and receive it almost immediately or at least the same day.
