For your slightly strange voyeuristic needs, you can go
here and read other people's grocery lists.
Do you make a grocery list when you go shopping?
If you do, does it have bananas on it? Seems like most everyone else's does.
Also observed:
Item on List:: Douche.
Do people really still douche? If you did douche, wouldn't you know that you needed to without adding it to a list? Like "Oh, my doctor told me to do a douche" and since that's such an incredibly strange thing, wouldn't it be at the top of your mind?
Trait #1: LOTS of people can't spell the most basic grocery staples.
Trait #2: Some people write the price of each item on their grocery list. Did they write this before going shopping, to guess how much they would spend? Did they write this after shopping but before checking out to see if they were over their limit or if they had spent enough to get a free turkey for Thanksgiving? Why write it when you get a computer printed list with the item and the price that you can take home with you as a lovely parting gift?
Trait #3: I only found one person who does what I do when I have a list to keep track of what I still need to get - they tear the paper from the edge through each item to show it's been picked up - this person is like me and doesn't ever have a pen with them to maniacally scratch through each item until it has been obliterated from the paper. (Looks like lots of people take out a lot of hostility on grocery lists).
Trait #4: Some people date their grocery lists. (In a chronological way, not in a romantic way - er - as far as I know.) Why? Do they have a list they're going to go buy on June 6, but they have another list they're planning to get on June 7? What if, say, toilet paper is on the list for June 7, but you run out on June 5. Do you have to wait for the appropriately dated list to buy some?
Trait #5: People are embarrassed by bodily functions, even on grocery lists. Very few lists I saw had the word "toilet" spelled out - they all write "t. paper" or "t.p." instead. Toilet! Toilet! Toilet! I happen to think we should be thrilled with toilets! Imagine the alternative!!
Best List:
squirt gun
hot peppers
strawberrys (sic)
bee trap
pie pans
OK - first of all - what the hell are the people with this list about to go off and do? Who needs a bee trap, a squirt gun and pie pans at the same time?? I want to know these people. They sound fun! Or at least adventurous.
Second Best List:
Cake
Candles
Carpet
Wine
OK - Where do these people shop? What store has both a fine wine and a good berber with a 10 year stain protection warranty?
Third Best List:
Vodka
Lighters
Milk
Ice Cream
Sounds like a flaming good party to me!Labels: cooking, headlines |
