I have one as well. I wouldn’t clear a driveway with it, but clearing an area around something like a fire pit, oh hell ya.

I guess the internet that I use knows that I'm looking for work and I saw this ad for Google about doing courses to do some data stuff for them? Has anyone ever heard of this becoming a real thing? Is it worth investing the time? I have a pretty decent package that I can actually spend a bit of time to take a course like that but I don't want to do it if it's a waste of time

*Antsy looking dude notices lady looking into his full basket of goodies*
"It's a code red purchase"
*Lady nods*
(Husband of lady)"What's a code red purchase? Does someone have low blood sugar? There's a crazy amount of chocolate and other things in that basket!"
*Lady hissing* "Shut the #### up you idiot. Do you have to say it so loud??"



Me a few customers back thinking, "I was clueless like you once upon a time."

I can't really tell what this is. It feels like there's two ladies involved but every time I read it I lose track of which lady is which and who's yelling at who. And what's a code red purchase?

Women crave chocolate when they’re menstruating (allegedly? Not sure if it’s proven or an urban legend). Many years ago when I worked at a pharmacy chain we were always instructed to put chocolate stands in the feminine hygiene aisle.

Code red means she has her period.

The story is about a man being oblivious and a woman apparently being embarrassed about her normal bodily functions.

I think the story is about the "antsy looking dude" is buying supplies for his lady at home, and was embarrassed by the lady looking into and seeing the contents of his basket.

Now that I have context I hate everyone in that story.

Guy who is “antsy” about buying chocolate (and presumably tampons or pads) and feels the need to explain himself to a random stranger? Loser

Lady who is snooping around a stranger’s basket to the point where it’s noticeably obvious and tells her husband to “shut the #### up you idiot”? Loser

Aloof husband who starts announcing loudly enough for other people in line the content of the basket and whose first assumption when someone is buying chocolate seems to be “low blood sugar”? Loser

DoubleF, you’re not a loser, but I am issuing you a warning for calling it a basket of “goodies” and because the story sounds kind of like something you made up in your head while standing in line.

I've never heard of this.

It reminds me of advice I once got...

"If there is a man in line buying a plunger, let him go ahead of you. He needs it."

I would think that unless you have spouse that may issue a code red you don't get to judge those that may find themselves in that situation.

I think any reasonable adult should be free to judge another adult if they're acting like a child because they're embarrassed that they have to buy a product for something that half the world's population experiences on a regular basis.

'twas a joke. PF is in a "no code red spouse" zone. Unless something has changed and he has not informed the rest of us about the details of his personal life. Which, frankly, would be a bit rude.

If y'all like this you should watch the legal eagle review of it with a real JAG lawyer. Quite entertaining.
