Alex I'll take "Shopping for One" for $1000 Please...

One of the forum moderators of a site I belong to wrote the following which got me to thinking:

Ok y'all so your boy was out doing his grocery shopping today, and two girls walked by me in one of the aisles. One girl whispered to her friend "single," and the girl she whispered to smiled, and then the other girl said "you can always tell by what they have in their carts," needless to say I was flabbergasted!!! Because I am one heck of a cook. However, I do like to buy a lot of those frozen dinners like chicken lo mein, pastas, etc. For when I just want to throw something together.

What made this experience even worse is that I already hate going to the grocery store because I am cluster-phobic and can never find what Im looking for, and today was packed so I was on the verge of spazzing out anyway....

I almost confronted the girl on what she said, but due to me wanting to get out of the grocery store I just did my thang and left. Any girls want do my grocery shopping???...lol shoot, I think I am going to have to get married or something, because going to the grocery store is starting to become my nemesis.

I'm sure I look very single when I go grocery shopping and I love it. But I thought this post was so funny because it speaks to the reaction that some single people have for the predicaments they run into. His resolve was that he either wants to find a female to do his shopping, or he wants to get married (or something). Perhaps he could have confronted the ladies nicely or ignored them. What was it about the ladies calling him a tell-tale single that made his grocery shopping experience suddenly frustrating? There's nothing like being able to buy all of the fabulous stuff made for one - shopping has never been better. From the restaurant-inspired frozen dinners, to the 100-calorie packs, small single packages of meat, small bottles of wine, etc etc... Shopping for one has never been more fun. Just because you're single doesn't mean you have to eat cereal and milk for dinner or scramble an egg just to make do... Live like the kings and queens you are... First class!
