Today I had the wonderful idea of replacing the water-sensor and flapper valve that powers the ancient toilet in my house.  It wasn’t filling properly, and I figured that if I could pass pharmacy school, a toilet couldn’t be too hard to fix.  Nothing annoys me more than sitting down waiting for the damn toilet to fill when there is 1 shit-covered piece of toilet paper floating around in there.  The old fill-valve took about 5 min’s to fill the tank, which is way too long in my book.

So I managed to find the toilet-rebuilding section of Home Depot and gather my parts.  It wasn’t too hard or involved since toilets are pretty much standardized (thank god) so I grabbed a few other things I needed and proceeded to the auto-checkout line.

There was a woman there berating the machine at the top of her lungs as to how stupid it was, and how they were so hard to use, blah blah blah, rant rant rant.  I looked around at the 4 empty checkout lines who’s clerks were just sitting there looking at her.  Personally I like the auto-checkout because its fast, and I like scanning stuff.  Her and I finished about the same time as she decided to involve me into her psychotic tirade about the checkout machines.  She started saying “dont you find those hard to use?”.  I sorta quietly said “Well, not really, I like them”.  Boy, wrong answer.  Have two-scoops of insanity-driven money-shot all over your face Frank.  I just sorta ignored her as I walked to my car continuing to hear her rant about the damn auto-checkouts.

Now I was confused, did she intentionally go to the auto-checkout so she’ll have something to bitch about or out of convince.  There was really nobody in the store at the time, so she could of gone to a manual checkout and gotten serviced by a real person.  I think she was just lonely and needed something to bitch about, much like I’m doing now in a more public but less conspicuous way.
