  1. That last one slayed.

    Sidenote: we went to CostCo this week and I ranted about how they move stuff around. Adulting is not so fun!

  4. Yes, it should be illegal to move stuff around in the store just when I've got used to it, I tell you.

  5. Yes, I get a little annoyed when they move stuff at the grocery store. I'm still trying to remember where to find Rice a Roni noodles at the local Safeway. Parts of the soda aisle got rearranged recently, but that one hasn't been much of a bother to me.

  12. I often look around at family gatherings and think to myself (and sometimes even say out loud!)- all of this because I had unprotected sex.
    Hey. When I realized that Dr. Bronner makes a bar soap with citrus scent i almost lost my mind with joy. It's the little things, baby.

  14. Damn, girl ... they all fit! I'm fast approaching 83 in August and everything seems to piss me off ... however, I try to keep it under control! Old age is not fun! I use to be fun, but now I'm too tired to be fun!

  15. These are fun. I especially liked the Harry Potter one. I wish he could do some magic and bring gas prices down because the reality says its not going to happen.

    🤫 Shh. I actually like the grocery store practice of re-arranging things. I use that for my own purposes. When I forget what aisle my favorite shit is in, I mutter (loudly) about how the store moves stuff around too often. People near me grumble in agreement. I get validated even though I'm the dumbass with the broken brain! 🤪🤣

  21. OMG, all of them! Especially the fucking grocery store switch up... Why, people, why?!?
    Ms Moon - I found the lavender soap and bought 10 bars. It was at the discount store and it's not going to go bad. That's adulting!

  22. I was adulting from birth to nineteen. Married at nineteen and have been childing for the most part for fifty years and counting. These were so much fun.

  23. Oh I agree with Pritika :)

  24. Dear Debra, thank you for sharing this. Of course I love the cat, but they are all great.

  25. When I was little all I heard was about adulthood. I still don't know if I'm buying into it. Although the grocery store what happened to me last night. I walked in to find a rearranging of all the aisles.

  29. Grocery stores have a special name for that. It's called a reset.

  30. No one wants to think of their parents doing the horizontal mambo.
    I might just send that one to my children lol

  31. When I worked as checkout operator I would memorse where things were so I could tell people who asked me where things were in which aisle. Until a comany decided they were getting enough sales and had to "front" their stocks which meant some rearranging. Then I had to relearn everything in that particular aisle. It was annoying but not so much. These days (of retirement) I find it much more annoying because I want to be in and out of any store as quickly as possible and get back to the comfort of home again.

  32. Then there is old age, another bucket of laughs.

  33. THESE ARE BRILLIANT!!!!!

  34. Adulting is not all it’s cracked up to be. But I’ve been childing more since I started adulting and that works. (But damned grocery stores.)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Being an adult often sucks. Thankfully I have a young boy and it's like living a second childhood.

  36. Uncle Alberstons regularly rearranges the aisles to personally annoy me.
