things I don't understand, supermarket edition

Why my favorite ice cream flavor ever (vanilla ice cream/orange sherbet swirl) appears magically one week, then disappears the next. No love from Edy's.

The ever-popular baggy pants-half-off-the-ass look. I think I understand where it came from - tough ex-cons, lost weight in jail, now the clothes are baggy - but seriously, people: walking around with your pants hanging off your butt in decidedly un-ghetto suburban Winter Park? Yeah. HAWWWWTTTT. Totally makes me want to jump into bed with you if you're already half undressed.

Why is Prego never on sale? Why? Why?

Going into the ten-items-or-less line with more than ten items. Then, right under the sign that says, "No checks, please", writing out a check (slowly) and then balancing the checkbook, all the while flirting with the checkout girl who is exactly 1/3 your age.

Parking your grocery cart squarely in the middle of the very narrow aisle.

If you can't maneuver your shopping cart while talking on your cell phone, you sure as hell can't navigate your massive SUV out of the tiny parking lot while talking on the cell phone. Why try?
