Apparently, Jack was paid a ton of money for one day's work. They shot this scene a bunch of times as they do, and he did it perfectly every single time. Then he left. Legend.
You so wish you were a lawyer. You probably watch Suits and think it is an accurate portrayal as well.
To be honest, I also watch accountant shows...Does the Office count? They have accountants on it.
Suits is basically a Documentary.
No, I dont think I have what it takes to be a Lawyer. For starters, and I know its American, but based on the amount that I've watched of LegalEagle and the Legal System I'm far, far too sarcastic and cynical to be a Lawyer.
I might make a great judge though!

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
*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."
People get "Antsy" about purchasing products for their spouses ?
Are they that self conscious ? Geeze Louise...Get a life.
And tell the lady behind him to mind her own business and stop looking into other peoples carts / baskets.

It's best to start with this, rather than have it beaten into you in the first few years of practice
I never realized how obnoxious Christmas music is, and I don't remember always feeling this way.
This morning my eyes were dilated at the doc and I'd been lounging around listening to music for a few hours afterwards. Notwithstanding the odd "hey google, shut the #### up"s and a nagging desire to smother myself with a pillow, it was a rather relaxing morning - like forced meditation.

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.
Probably because I did a bad job summarizing the story. I'm not a good story teller, OK at dad jokes, but I'll butcher the punch line of a regular joke. At one point the lady did look at her husband and say, "Remind me why I married you?" which was why I knew they were husband and wife.
It was just an observation when I was buying stuff at Walmart. Maybe I posted it because it reminded me of a time long ago where I was nervous about buying feminine products until I realized there was nothing to be nervous about. Seemed more interesting than the other couple with like 8 pails of green and blue pails or kitty litter or whatever was in their cart or the fact that half the self checkout lanes were closed and a whole bunch of people with large carts were taking their sweet time to check out so we in line were waiting in line longer than expected.

Why couldn't reasonable adults also look at the situation and conclude that basket dude fought through embarrassment and social anxiety type of fear (or similar) to do something good and helpful for a loved one? Why is the automatic assumption that they're a child? The irony IMO is that I believe that truly reasonable adults don't automatically judge. A reasonable adult might see someone on the path towards self improvement vs laughing at them for not being immediately comfortable in buying these types of products.
The funny thing is that I used to be worried about people who had opinions like you. The first half a dozen or so of these purchases, I'd worry. But one day a cashier told me she wished her boyfriend would do these purchases for her, he wouldn't even hand her a clean one at home. Then I realized that opinions like yours do not matter. A few other trips later where I'm standing in the aisle completely befuddled which product to buy because I couldn't remember what product was preferred. Other ladies noticed, walked straight over and offered help and encouragement also helped the removal of the dumb social concern I had.
When I was worried, I wasn't worried that touching a tampon or pad would cause me to lose testosterone. I was worried someone might see me buying them and think I'm a perv or I'd buy the wrong thing and not be as helpful as I could be. Yeah, the thought still counts, but not having the right product still sucks. It's only after chatting with that cashier years ago that I realized that it didn't matter what others thought, if someone thought I was a perv, they're the moron and very likely others would pipe up and tell them they're a moron.... so it wasn't much different worry wise having a pack of pads or a thing of toilet paper in your cart or basket. Sometimes, there isn't the possibility of a quick call or text to confirm what to get. The individual is curled up in a ball of agony ignoring everything around them.
I can agree now in hindsight, purchasing feminine products is a really dumb thing to get nervous about. But I can also empathize when I see someone who is nervous about being the scenario for the first time.

We all start somewhere.
I think it's possible to view the scenario that both of those guys were on the path of enlightenment. One day basket guy won't worry about what's in his basket and husband man won't be as clueless and might also help to purchase stuff for his wife.
Do you not quickly glance into other carts and baskets or on the belt while waiting? I do. Sometimes I'll notice something I forgot and get out of line to grab it. We all joke about how we all go grocery shopping and buy everything except for that one thing we specifically went to grab. That's my contingency plan. Doesn't always work.
And maybe we're all assuming something about the antsy basket guy (me included). Maybe he was pure chill about purchasing the feminine products, but was antsy about the long lines because he wanted to get home ASAP to whoever he was purchasing for. When the lady looked in his basket, maybe was was just trying to make a joke or small talk or something that turned awkward when husband man started narrating. TBH, I didn't really pay attention to him after the wife started chewing out her husband. Or maybe we on CP had the scenario correct.

The entire aesthetic of Christmas is brutal. I am all for family time good food and a few well deserved gifts between parents and children.
The inflatable decorations, increasingly tacky lights, god awful music, cheesy microplastic landfill fodder decorations and hopelessly long lists of obligations are torture.
Not to mention it starts waayy to early.
I am blessed to have a simple family and doesn't have any expectations or hang-ups ( minus my sister who fortunately finally has her own family to torture).

I was thinking something recently about how the lyrics of many Christmas songs feel kinda weird. Not really obnoxious, but seem kinda weird.
Is it just me or do very little of these song describe very little of modern Christmas? (At least for me) When looking at the lyrics, it feels like less than half (if not even less) actually describes my typical Christmas.

That is because Christmas sucks, big hairy dirty donkey balls.

The lyrics are more Bill Cosby than Bing Crosby.
