    - wasn't this one of those point in that email about "being an adult" that got posted a week or so ago? - Reagen Jun 11, 14:11 14
      - oh, relax. I'm a city chick. I'm very aware, and I don't block aisles knowingly. That doesn't give you free rein to attack me if I can't hear uyou. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:13 7
        
        If you thought there might be an insane axe murderer behind you, you'd look. Why not just do that for everyone out of common courtesy? -- nm - con_carne Jun 11, 14:16 1
        
        because then people might think she's an axe murderer -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:17
        
        If you stay aware and don't block the aisle, there'll be nothing to hear. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 11, 14:15
        
        I don't think the not hearing is what's offensive here, so much as the utter and complete obliviousness demonstrated... -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 14:14 3
        
        and the "being annoyed at being asked to move". This is one particular person - most people are more polite -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 14:16 1
        
        That too. -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 14:18
        
        I get that. I get annoyed at it too. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:15
      - Exactly! Who posted that? I'd like to go back and mark that as a Favorite -- nm - Stephen Jun 11, 14:12 5
        
        what's a favorite? -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 11, 14:14 4
        
        Oh, i'm sorry, a FavoUrite (nm) - Stephen Jun 11, 14:15 2
        
        (centimetre by centimetre we will assimilate you.) - Andie Jun 11, 14:16 1
        
        Wait. Do you guys really transpose the "er" at the end of "centimeter"? - musubi Jun 11, 14:20
        
        It's like a "favourite", but not yet implemented as a feature on Slackertalk. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:15
    - What, are you blind too? - Stephen Jun 11, 14:10 15
      - you seemed mostly pissed that she couldn't hear you. it's a possibility. you never know what's going on with someone else. it's not always about you. - kare Jun 11, 14:15 5
        
        Uh, it was about him and the other people that were blocked. By one person. -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 14:17 2
        
        fine, she's a bitch that deserves to die. -- nm - kare Jun 11, 14:18 1
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 14:19
        
        well put. but this is, after all, a drill sergeant we're talking about. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:17
        
        that's my issue. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:16
      - this is why everyone should take up smoking. for example redmond would be able to smell you coming up behind him and move out of the way - dogbert183 Jun 11, 14:15
      - I can't see behind me. And I'm very conscientious about blocking the aisle. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:13 3
        
        So why worry if you can't hear? (nm) - musubi Jun 11, 14:14 1
        
        i'm not worried about my actions. I'm a little worried that someone would get this mad and not even consider the hearing thing. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:18
        
        Perhaps it's just that my senses are heightened thanks to my Ninja training... - Stephen Jun 11, 14:14
      - It all goes back to your original post. - Spawn Jun 11, 14:12
      - I agree even if I am the only person on the aisle I move my cart to the same side I am shopping on. -- nm - Redmond in Sin City Jun 11, 14:12
      - I'm pretty sure loosi is conscientious enough not to block the aisle in most stores - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:11 1
        
        I never stand in the middle of an aisle. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:14
- ladies and gentlemen.... Walmart - Guy Jun 11, 14:03 2
  - actually...believe it or not... - Stephen Jun 11, 14:04 1
    - Targets here have wide aisles... she must have been a large woman -- nm - Guy Jun 11, 14:11
- You rock :) -- nm - con_carne Jun 11, 14:01
- Would you have said that to The Rock? I doubt it. - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:01 5
  - "Do you mind moving the People's Elbow, so the people can get past?" - Roger More Jun 11, 14:03 1
    - "Oh sorry, I'll just widen the aisle ... happy?" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:03
  - The Rock has a purpose in life and wouldn't be so oblivious to those around him. :) -- nm - Stephen Jun 11, 14:02 2
    - Can't argue with that. What about Jericho, then? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:03 1
      - He's currently on a re-run of I love the 70's wearing a Hollister shirt. I'm pretty sure he deserves getting yelled at. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 14:04
- I just keep repeating excuse me as I continute to move. Their fault if I hit them. -- nm - lileve Jun 11, 14:01
- try grocery shopping in NYC, where the aisles are half as wide. - znufrii Jun 11, 14:01
- It's good for everyone that I don't own a taser. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 14:00 3
  - /nods/ I have cattle prod fantasies every time I'm in Costco. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 11, 14:01 2
    - I have those! - Spawn Jun 11, 14:10
    - I can't currently shop at our local walmart for exactly this reason. - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:02
con_carne: Heheh, I like outdoor clothes, but it's a bit unusual because I so rarely engage in outdoor activities. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 13:55 1
- Who said anything about activities :-P -- nm - con_carne Jun 11, 14:05
If people were forced to watch Xanadu before meals they would eat less or nothing at all -- nm - Redmond in Sin City Jun 11, 13:53
LYC Ika: I agree with CQ. -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 13:52 17
- We all should -- nm - con_carne Jun 11, 13:56

  - spoiler - con_carne Jun 11, 13:59 5
    - onlt6=y with more cursing...made my eyes bleed a little -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 14:04 3
      - {sanitized for you protection} -- nm - con_carne Jun 11, 14:09
      - sounds like a fair point, though. -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 14:05
      - Yeah, it was very much a "I'm mad as hell, and i'm not going to take it anymore" type post. - Stephen Jun 11, 14:05
    - ah. yes. -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 13:59
  - Amanda is our hot new negotiator like the chick in Firefly -- nm - Redmond in Sin City Jun 11, 13:58 7
    - which chick in firefly? Zoe? River? Inara? The senator? Melinda Clarke? - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:00
    - awesome. - znufrii Jun 11, 13:59
    - Oops I mean Wiggum -- nm - Redmond in Sin City Jun 11, 13:59 4
      - yeah, I don't play. I play the hsx instead. -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 11, 14:01
      - that's awesome too :) -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 13:59 2
        
        That's true, too. - con_carne Jun 11, 14:03
        
        She is our overnight diplomat - eag Jun 11, 14:02

I really hate when I feel like I am going to be sick, but I can't figure out *why*. (NO, I'm not pregnant.) - kelly Jun 11, 13:48 15
- Probably its stress -- nm - eag Jun 11, 13:56
- Sympathy pains for Wills' mother -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 11, 13:51 1
  - This gets my vote. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 13:52
- Menapause? -- nm - Redmond in Sin City Jun 11, 13:51
- drunk? -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 11, 13:50
- stress? have you eaten? -- nm - colin Jun 11, 13:49 3
  - Oh yeah, I've eaten. :) -- nm - kelly Jun 11, 13:50 2
    - maybe something you ate isnt agreeing with you -- nm - Guy Jun 11, 13:53 1
      - I misread this as "maybe something kare ate isn't agreeing with you". That made no sense, but was funny to read. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:05
- accidental mirror sighting? -- nm - TFox Jun 11, 13:49 3
  - I hate you. -- nm - kelly Jun 11, 13:50 2

So torn. The libertarian in me wants the gov't's nose out of what I put into my body. - Dr.Vermin Jun 11, 13:47 31
- The problem with that is smoking wasn't exactly a fair fight. - Will Hunting Jun 11, 13:55 9
  - For the previous generation, sure. But now? - musubi Jun 11, 13:59 6
    - to the extent that kids are making a mistake that is extremely difficult to undo, i do feel bad. - TFox Jun 11, 14:02 4
      - I don't feel a whole lot of sympathy for addicts. - musubi Jun 11, 14:09 3
        
        OK. Me, when kids get a chemical dependency to something before we allow them to vote, and want to quit and fail, I feel bad. -- nm - TFox Jun 11, 14:11 1
        
        Like I said, there's some sympathy, just not a ton. - musubi Jun 11, 14:15
        
        If they don't accept help or try to help themselves then I am with you. -- nm - lileve Jun 11, 14:10
    - I don't disagree with this; people can be stupid. Just saying the smoking and the like ain't a pure personal choice - Will Hunting Jun 11, 13:59
  - not to mention lying about it. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 13:56 1
    - Right, the personal choice argument gets undercut with the behaviors of the makers here. - Will Hunting Jun 11, 13:59
- I'm a big fat liberal (no pun intended), but I enjoyed the study not too long ago that said smokers are not necessarily a strain on the public health - con_carne Jun 11, 13:53 10
  - yup, and all the extra taxes they pay from buying smokes they are funding so many of the services that will pay for the healthcare of non smokers - dogbert183 Jun 11, 13:57 1
    - it's called "taking one for the team". -- nm - TFox Jun 11, 13:59
  - Like Denis Leary said, hell yeah smoking takes years off your life. Those lame ones at the end. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 11, 13:54 7
    - He quit smoking a long time ago. -- nm - lileve Jun 11, 14:08
    - you go ahead and think that. -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 13:55 5
      - Well, in the absence of any specific disagreement, I guess I will. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 11, 14:04 1
        
        The filter's the best part. - TFox Jun 11, 14:05
      - dude, how could it be wrong? it was said by *denis leary*. -- nm - TFox Jun 11, 13:56 2
        
        I heard he's an asshole. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 13:56 1
        
        a cool asshole -- nm - Guy Jun 11, 13:57
- It's fun to be a libertarian and a liberal. You'd think the two don't mix, but they can. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 13:51
- At least they don't spit food all over you like gross smokers - Redmond in Sin City Jun 11, 13:49 5
  - I'm a smoker, and i've never spit food all over someone... -- nm - Stephen Jun 11, 14:02 1
    - it's a lot of fun, you should try it sometime... -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 14:08
  - its not always a habit, you know. -- nm - Guy Jun 11, 13:57 1
    - That's even more sad. -- nm - Redmond in Sin City Jun 11, 14:02
  - we know, don't worry. -- nm - TFox Jun 11, 13:51
- It's all about education on diet and exercise. Get that right and people don't need to be supervised -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 13:49 2
  - coupled with cost incentivizing, as well - znufrii Jun 11, 13:51 1
    - I disagree with cost incentivising (food is politicised enough) but I do think (generally) that agricultural subsidies etc should be ended -- nm - Roger More Jun 11, 14:06
Bacon! BLT Thursday -- nm - Redmond in Sin City Jun 11, 13:47 1
- *cries a little inside* - znufrii Jun 11, 13:53
