I have yet to meet a dimwit cashier who just couldnt stop talking. I know many cashiers and I have conversations sometimes cause we usually have the same interests.
The guy goes to the register with a whole bunch of very suspicious stuff - a big knife, a shovel, some rope, a tarp, laundry detergent, etcetera. I think he may have even held up the detergent and asked "Does this take out blood?"
You don't know how much I want to do this...
I would have said to her "well, since you asked, I plan on getting naked and putting these raw bacon strips all over my body while watching silence of the lambs on my big screen TV. I'll be alone tonight...speaking of which what time do you get off work?"
This is definitely the way to go. Saying "Shut the fuck up moron!" just isn't enough fun, everyone can do that. Eve is getting at something here, play along in the initial tone.
Not so many years ago, I was pretty shy and quiet, but now if people are acting stupid I'll not hesitate to point it out to them in a pretty graphic manner!
As the old saying goes:
"My freedom of speech implies your freedom to be offended!"
(And as for commentary from pretty young clerks, what if she had held up the movie you bought and announced to the world that her dad and all his old loser friends loved the movie )
Then I'd ask her out, based on this silly scientific study:Women prefer men who smell like Dad. Of course, it is possible that the videotape was rented by her unwashed dad earlier, and the smell is subsconsciously affecting her behavior, but hey, doesn't hurt to try! And maybe it'll shut her up the next time. See, nothing to lose, everything to gain!
Odd, that article is going to be published in the prestigious and peer-reviewed Nature Genetics magazine. Cool!
(Has visions of men purposely visiting a would-be fiance's father in an attempt to steal unwashed undershirts and socks in an attempt to brew a nasty aphrodesiac concoction.)
