Wait Wut

4. Geez...you're one of them.

I have a dog and three cats. I can't tell you how often someone asks me, "Oh...you have cats?". No, I buy cat litter because the husband and I are doing our part to conserve water. Occasionally, someone will ask if something I'm buying is any good. I'm not a food critic. I buy things that are inexpensive and hopefully not going to kill me.

I'm not a publicly social person. I HATE grocery shopping and want to get in and out as quickly as possible with as little social interaction as possible. I realize that people like you are friendly and not trying to make me run out the door screaming, but...yeah. That's what I really want to do.

Don't let my bitchy attitude stop you. We actually need more people like you and fewer like me. For the record, I always try to respond in an amicable manner. Just ignore the fidgeting, lack of eye contact and look of disgust. I'm like Sheldon Cooper without the smart. I keep telling the husband that I really shouldn't be allowed in public.
