What's on your Tuesday Menu?

G'morning all!

QJB - I just ordered a gluten free donut; funny because I'm not allergic to gluten and I'm not a big fan of donuts. But this is the business of a friend of a friend so I ordered to see. I'll report back. On the website it says they are made of sweet potatoes.

Serious question because I was caught off guard by a situation yesterday. At Target, finished shopping and put the items in the back of my car. Proceeded to return the cart, by going between my car and the car parked next to me. I judged there was enough room to go in between without scratching either cars. When I got to the level of the door the lady opened her car door (I didn't realize there was anybody in) and banged against the cart. I did an involuntary whoops, but continued to where the carts are supposed to be left. The lady comes out of her car and yells at me that "the rule" is to go around all the cars and never in between cars. Is that true? I never knew about this. I looked at the line of cars and thought to myself there is no way anybody would go all the way down and come back up to drop the cart. While I'm looking at the line of parked cars and pondering this new found rule I said "thank you for that information I was not aware of that rule", but I guess my tone was sarcastic enough that she yells at me that at my age I should have learned this basic shopping rule. At this point I'm at the cart depository place, and she is on the other side yelling and neither of us is moving. I'm not sure what she expected me to say but I was not gonna apologize or even acknowledge her. So I pulled out my phone and said "ma'am if you need help I can call an ambulance because obviously you are in serious distress". If this was a cartoon she would have turned red, blown up and exploded. Her face was pure rage and kept saying I didn't know the basic of shopping rules. Finally she walked away and into Target. So, is there a rule for not going in between cars when you are returning your cart?

QOTD: exercise is on the schedule like any other meeting. Gotta do it no matter what.

My meals yesterday:

• Coffee
• Chicken skewers
• Iced coffee w/PP, quest cheese crackers
• Hb eggs & tuna
• E: skipped

Happy taco Tue!

There is no such rule and it's her fault for opening the door into you! Also, I suspect that she is one of those people that doesn't actually return the cart.

Lol. I thought the same thing. There is an article that says you can judge people's morality by seeing if they return their carts or not.

I have never heard of that rule, and have never, ever, seen anyone do it that way. Ever.

Next time, tell her the rule for opening a car door is the same as the LAW for parking next to a bike lane. Look both ways before you fling the door open, or it's your own damn fault.

My husband's come back was exactly like yours, when I told him the story. Why didn't she look before opening her door?

Many years ago my younger sister walked between two parked cars. One lunged forward and wrecked her legs pretty bad. Ever since I won't walk between or next to any car that has someone in it.

You still weren't wrong. They absolutely should have looked before opening their door.

Holy crap, that's scary about your sister!

Yikes. I'd love to have asked her to show me the cook where this rule exists! I want to read it.

Also, a sweet potato donut definitely sounds better than no donut, but I will still stick to four and sugar for my cookies.

LOL. You and I would have made a great squad.

The two of you would constitute a terror. I'm picturing you both with a pack of cigarettes rolled up in your sleeves.
