Random Target Mutterings
Yesterday I needed some time to myself. So, naturally I went to Target. I took note of a few things while there.*Do people really not know when they are blocking an entire isle with their carts? Then they never hear you while you politely ask them to move. "Can I...?" "Ummm, 'scuse me, I just need to..." "Sorry to bother, but could you please move...just....umm, nevermind."
*I normally shop during the week, in the morning. The weekend Target shoppers are messy and inconsiderate. They move things around, drop them from racks, and don't fix them.
*Because I don't neglect Target during the week, I have a strange, unreasonable feeling of first dibs, or more of a right to be there than the weekend shoppers.
*The pronouncing of the name "Target" in a fake French accent (tar-zhay) is vastly overused. Yes, I too used witty pronunciation. It's time, everyone- let's put it to rest.
*Do people keep the children's pre-filled Easter baskets (purchased a week after Easter at 75% off) until next year, or do they celebrate Easter a week late?
*If a guy says that he does not like the floral swim trunks you've spotted, the fact that you say (in a whiney voice), "But, Michael! They're cute!" will not help your argument, especially if said in front of four to five strangers.

and how bout the idiots that walk down the middle of the driving lane in the parking lot? some days it just pisses me off that they have laws against running people over.
When I lived in Omaha, in the old part of the city, our target was referred to as tar-ghetto, and yeah, the new money target was indeed called tar-zhey
Bren- tar-ghetto. Now, THAT'S original. An, yes, you're right about those idiots. They take their time too.
In answer to your question: they probably buy the 75% off Easter baskets, eat the candy without sharing, then use the basket to hold coupons. Just saying.
Indigo- I'm gonna wait until they are at the displays at the end of the isle by the pharmacy.
Also, in my ignorance, yes, people celebrate Easter a week later. Mark pointed out Russian Orthodox Easter to me and my feeble little brain.
If you're looking for me, I'll be the one in the corner with a size seven in her mouth.
