a life like Larry David

[Simple Simon]

My life is starting to resemble a Larry David episode, I seem to be getting in ridiculous arguments everywhere.

I went into the Chemist today to buy some steroid cream (skin condition) and asked for 2 tubes, she said she could only sell me one.
Heres how it went
"Why can I only have one?"
"Its a steroid cream and its a 7 day tube, we can only sell you one every 7 days"
"OK sell me one and I will walk over there and come back and you can sell me another"
"We cant, we know its you"
"So i can ask someone else to buy one and you will sell it to them"
"Yes"
"So just sell it to me and I will pay cash, there isnt a record that you have sold me 2"
"We cant because its a steroid cream"
"Well, I can go over into the store and buy 10 bottles of whiskey"
"Whats that got to do with it?"
"Well the store trusts I'm not going to drink them all in one go yet you wont trust me not to use two tubes all at once."

I then got a blank stare, she then looked at the doctor and he looked at me
I then said I was past buying two now but I just wanted them to admit the stupidity of their policy

They wouldnt

I only have one tube...

she

thats the problem

It's the same with baby medicines like calpol paracetamol or Ibuprofen - the self scan machine at the supermarket blocks more than 2 bottles for 'safety reasons' so you have to go through the motions more than once - it stops nothing....  and what exactly do they think I'm going to do with 3 bottles of 100mg/ml Brufen anyway? Hardly an effective way to end it all! LOL

Was the chemist a part of a chain?...Corporate enforcers are known on this side of the pond to "sting" employees who "look the other way".

I agree but still can't get enough.  How about Susie and "the shucker"?  I'm bummed there is onlyl
one episode left.  Hope it's not another 5 years before the next season.

I have similar unwritten rules

"Happy New year" has a cut off of 2nd January, if I get them after that I explain they have missed the cut off.
I see staff at work maybe once every 3 months and used to get "happy new year" in February, not any more....

Well it can't be because of your charming personality.

another unwritten rule
someone dies, outpourings of sympathy start flooding in, my favourite "my thoughts are with his/her family at this sad time"

No they're fucking not, you couldn't really give a fuck about his/her family at this "sad" time.
they write shit like that , click on the next page and the poor fuckers family is as far away from their thoughts as though they had never been it them.

my thoughts r like that sometimes, I think: it would be great if the rest of his/her family were dead too.
