Thursday thoughts

I had a few 'DUH" moments yesterday.

I can't remember all of them, but here are a few.

*I was at Costco picking up a few things and I proceeded to the check out line. When I got there, I unloaded my items on the belt behind the people's stuff in front of me. The cashier attendant was pleasantly talking to the customers in front of me as I unloaded my stuff and I pushed my cart forward and to the left to continue with the line. Sternly, she said, "Ma'am, the cart goes to the right." Oh, you mean, like where the arrow is pointing for carts to go? Yes, that's what she meant. DUH.

*I then headed over to Bed Bath and Beyond to pick up a few things and I was particularly looking for kitchen towels. At the point that I decided to look for the towels, I was at the back right part of the store. So I pushed my cart all across the back side of the store to the left side, and then around to the front. Found the bathroom towels. Kitchen towels.....? No. I asked someone that works there, and he walked me all the way back to...................the back right part of the store. Exactly where I'd started thinking of looking for them. DUH.

*Same store, I went to pay for my items. I used my debit card and swiped it through the machine. Didn't work. Hmmm........what's the problem? The attendant looks at me and says, "You swiped it backwards." *sigh* Thanks. Oh, you mean, I should swipe it like the little picture shows?? Sometimes it's one way, sometimes it's the other. DUH

*Same afternoon, but now I'm at Office Depot in my long string of errands. I'm paying (wow, almost all these involve the moment I have to pay for my items - maybe that's a hint). I swiped my card, and I know I did it the right way. Now, we're both just sitting there, and I'm waiting and I'm staring at the attendant, waiting for her to do whatever she needs to do to finish my transaction. And she's looking at me............waiting for me to hit "OK." DUH

*Finally, back in my car. But I'm so tired of smelling car-ish fumes, gas or oil, maybe? Not sure. But dang, why does my care all of a sudden smell like this? It's like I'm sitting on my hood with my nose to the hood crack. So weird. Hmm......why does my AC say that it's bringing in air from the outside? Which also means it brings in those smells during rush hour............. DUH. And yes, I know that it's 'Fresh Air,' but not during rush hour.

Back to your regularly scheduled DUH-full days............
