I don't know what kind of person that makes me.
I vote for "sane".
Wait. People? She eats people? 'To Serve Man.' It's 'To Serve Man' all over again.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My mom makes derogatory remarks about people's weight under her breath to me despite the fact that I have repeatedly told her to stop.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
There is something conflicted about a society that is increasingly overweight, yet mocks fat people for exercising and makes decent exercise clothes for larger sizes expensive and hard to find. Of course, this is the same society in which the women's magazine covers tout "Lose that Last 10 Pounds" and "10 Best Chocolate Desserts."
I have been known to be at least amused by other people's carts. I stopped at an all night grocery one time to buy coffee and pet food, which along with toilet paper are the things I'd stop for at 2 a.m. The person in front of me was buying two bags of marshmallows and a game of checkers. Terrible insomnia and a craving for Rice Krispy Treats, maybe?

or a really boring, well-sugared camping trip! i make up elaborate stories for other people's cart contents all the time, but i keep them to myself (or maybe a snarky friend). I especially love running into theatre people doing emergency prop runs, those are almost always entertaining. "oh crap, we're out of extra large unlubricated condoms and skittles!" is surprisingly common.
eta: sure, it's usually the sound folks buying the huge unlubed condoms, but it's not uncommon for SM or Prop person to pick up an emergency pack when backstage is running low.

Ginger hits it in one.
Society loves status quo. We will revile what we will not tolerate seeing changed. This is why people repeat the same patterns over and over again and why addicts get clean only to go back to the alley. There is HUGE social 'support' for keeping things the way they are.
Screw'em, I say. Choose to be happy anyway. That'll learn 'em. Or at least, that is what works for me.

A lady in front of me was buying zucchini and a bottle of cheap wine one day. I had a hard time stifling my giggles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't get it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, that one was in poor taste I felt.
I liked Eminem's Chrysler ad.
