Inspired by a side-track in another thread, I thought of this funny story.

I was going through the self checkout thingy at Loblaws a couple weeks ago when a woman just plain didn't get it. She kept lifting the bags off the weight-sensor thing after you scan them, thus freezing the system, causing the Loblaws lady to have to come over and reset the station. Then, on cue, she would do the EXACT SAME THING AGAIN!! This happened three times.

And when I say "woman", I mean my wife.

The thing I cannot grasp is that my wife is smart. Very smart. The self-scan station is a fairly easy concept to master, I would think. I kept explaining how it worked, and she kept taking the bags off. It ended when I yelled "are you high or something! Leave the effing bags on the pad!" I met her in the car and we drove home in silence.

What funny stories do you guys/girls have?
