A testament to human stupidity

I'm not that into other people.

Problem is though, they do exist. And it's impossible to avoid them. A fact that becomes tragically evident whenever you go to a supermarket.

Doing the "big shop" is absolutely dire and i know i've ranted about this topic before so i'll try not to go on too long.

The only redeeming feature i've found is getting a cheap laugh out of the own brand products such as "Neat Wheat" etc. Lidl is a goldmine for this kind of thing and it's always the highlight of the trip. I'll take pictures on my phone of items i find particularly amusing. It's worth the risk of looking a bit odd- What? seen him taking pictures of stuff, that's weird. So fuck mate. you shop in Lidl, so there's no real winners here- I'll get round to uploading them eventually....then you'll see.

Anyway back to people. The general public are just awful. But in the more scunnery shops the clientel are almost sub human. Netto on saturday being a prime example. It was here that i heard the most ridiculous conversation ever.....

Two scunners were filling their trolley with gear for what looked likely to be the most depressing camping trip ever. (I'm basing this on the fact that they had 2 sleeping bags, loads of yoghurts, a few bottles of Lambrini & some Spaghetti Hoops) At the checkout one of the duo noticed a pack of batteries and remarked "These ones charge themselves"

I'm not entirely sure what he meant by this but i'm guessing that they were rechargable. Idiotic yes, but i could let that go. What happened next though can't be excused. His mate asked "So what do you do then?......Just put them in a pan?" At which point i almost lost the will to live. Sadly i was so incensed by the idiocy of the pair that i couldn't focus properly and missed the rest of the conversation but fucking hell. Yeah mate. Just whack them in the pan. Of course. Christ, how do you get that fucking stupid? Really?
