Dollar General Adventures

While doing laundry on Saturday I noticed I was short a few hangers and decided to drive over to the Dollar General beside the Fellini Kroger. I walked in and it was the normal scene which evokes memories of a bar scene from the Star Wars movies.

I walk in and locate the hangers with the help of a friendly worker which should have been surprising enough. As I walk to the check out line I notice a very rough couple tearing in to the packaging of cell phone charger while the cashier nervously watched. It is important to note that the woman was wearing a white airbrushed Pink Panther t-shirt that had never seen detergent let alone bleach and ankle socks. That's right. She had taken the time to put on socks but no shoes. They then asked, "Can we take this out to our car and see if it works before we buy it?" She gave a look that said what the hell so they asked if she could test in the store. She complied and they bought it and went on their way. Not as soon as that was over a man behind me throws a Rubbermaid storage container on the container and I hear "Think 'iss' is big enough to fit a body in?" I lose it and start laughing out loud and turn around to see who said this. As I turn around I immediately quit laughing because it is another jean short clad man in a black tank top, with about 20 tattoos that looked like someone grabbed a handful of the most random shit tattoos ever designed and threw them at his body in a hurricane. I then hurriedly paid for my hangers and drove home wanting to call my parents to thank them for letting me not become a weird ass citizen unaware of social norms.
