Then I went to the plumbing aisle to find something, and while I was standing there, "that guy" came along. First he announced his presence by breathing so loudly, I could hear him before he turned the corner. Then a bird landed on the floor and he loudly proclaimed "Ooh! There's a bird in here". Then he stood right beside me because apparently we were looking for something similar. There was the breathing and the muttering. Although the muttering was kind of at regular speaking volume, and it was some really riveting stuff such as "Hmmmm" and "Ohhh, there..." and "Huh, there's that one, too?"...... and finally "Welllll........."

Thanks dude. I know we're at the hardware store, not the library, but come on. So I decided that I didn't even want the thing I was there for, because I needed to not be standing beside that guy anymore, but in an effort to salvage my trip to the store, I checked the next aisle over for the valve I was looking for, and lo! there it was. Great, I thought. I'm going to GTFO before that guy waddles and mutters his way over here, so I bee-lined it for the cashier. As I was waiting in line, that guy emerged from the plumbing aisle and waddled over to the popcorn. He used his hand to fill a bag, and then stood in line behind me munching that filth down, while breathing heavy, and muttering (loud enough for the cashier to hear) about how it needed butter and salt.

That's who eats the popcorn.

LOL.

He's 63-65, wearing sweat dirty pants with his gut was hanging over them, work boots, he smelled like vinegar and cheese, and had one of those red bulbous noses?

I think I've met this guy in the surplus aisle at Princess Auto.
