Remember what I said this morning about never loving my wife more?
This morning we went to Target together and we picked up some washcloths. Then she decided a few minutes later that she didn't like those washcloths. And I learned that my wife is the sort of person to put an item back on a shelf in a completely different department. And it has me rethinking our entire relationship.
*I did ask, and she did tell me that she doesn't do this with refrigerated perishables, but I don't know if I can believe her now.
I understand completely. If you want to get my hackles up, that’s one way to do it![]()

I grew up working in grocery stores. I am morally obligated to put stuff in the right place - when I see it on the shelf! I didn't even put it there, and I have to put it back.
After years of therapy, I'm getting better and less inclined to do that.
Actually, I'm just getting lazy as I get older.
I agree about the perishables. But the nonperishable, just put it anywhere. Having worked at G-stores in my youth, it was somewhat annoying, but, it was also like job security. The store needs people to sort it out.I almost always go back to the proper aisle to return something, unless I'm annoyed. Then I'll just throw it as hard as I can.
It's like IT. If it's always fucked up, needs updates, then they always have a job.
