Get out much?
Way to wreck it for us.
That morning was our date night.
Who's supporting YOUR prejudices at the 'mart?




OMGosh, were you at my Walmart the other day? Doesn't it make you feel better when you go there because everyone else is so gross you know you're like a queen! :)
ReplyDeleteHoly cow that's quite the list!
ReplyDeleteLoud talkers? Are you talking about me? I like to stand in line at Walmart and talk very loudly about inappropriate things and make other people feel uncomfortable. It's so much fun for me!
Cleavage sharers and ass-crack barers.
ReplyDeleteThey're ALWAYS there. Usually, together.
God help me, I do hate WalMart.
Have you seen the website People of Walmart? It's pictures that people have taken of some CRAZY people, on their cell phones. It's awesome.
ReplyDeleteOMG - I am cracking up laughing over here - thanks for the "visual" - UGH! Glad you had such a "nice date" that morning! HA!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Trac~ :o)
Were men with man boobs and girls with bacne on that list?? I am gonna do a letter tomorrow I think to the bacne girl...saw her the other day. ew.
ReplyDeleteI am concerned. Apparently I was at your Walmart.
ReplyDeleteI have honestly only been in a Walmart maybe 5 times my whole life. It isn't that I don't like it or fit in there but it just isn't convenient to where I live.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to count how many of those descriptions fit me. At least one and that is all I am saying.
I cringe every time I have to go into a Walmart. I live in a rural area and we have three--yes, three--of them, and with only two other grocery stores and a Sam's Club, it's slim pickings for me. (Thank goodness we are getting a Target! Yea!) The store is scuzzy, and most of the people are--well, what you wrote. I know it's a free country and people can do what they want, but I often wonder how anyone can want to be one of the above. I've been pretty broke (never destitute, thank goodness) but I was always at least clean. A bath is not difficult, and soap is not expensive.
ReplyDeleteVery funny, but what were you doing there the first of the month.. lol.
ReplyDeleteI may have missed it but what about non English speakers, or ones who speak it but no one understands them.
xx
Wow.... maybe that's why I go to Target now.
ReplyDeleteummm..... I think I may have been guilty of reading an entire magazine....... while I'm growing older in line...... isn't that why they put them there???? :-)
ReplyDeleteall the extra skin showing is what gets me......
especially when I can see like 15 different body piercings on a 15 year old, and all I can think is:
Wow..... I did NOT know you could pierce THAT......
LLOL! awesome post.
ReplyDeleteyou noticed too? my husband and i were totally making judgements. its time to find a new wal mart he said, ya but its 30 miles away i said. i figured if you go early in the morning during the week, your fairly safe... as long as no one is vomiting on me, im in.. so maybe i'd better not go to wally world with you on a bad day...
ReplyDeleteI confess that I reached up to feel my chin to see if I had a random hair poking through.
ReplyDeleteWhew! At least I'm clear for that one catagory.
You're ruthless, Girl.
I'm scared of you! LOL
Thanks for the 'thumbs up'. Walmart is coming DownUNDER. Bringing it's dirty underwear.. ha ha.. I crack myself up. Love, love, love your list. I'm going to use it when I get frustrated with my customers. No, wait, I'll post it up behind the counter for my girls to use when someone gets to them. Oh, this sure is a keeper. What a smart girl you are, helping me with PR!!
ReplyDeletefor a second I was afraid that I was at the Walmart yesterday and that it may have been me in one of the categories; luckily I went on Monday. Your new blog layout is fab, esp the bubbles :D
ReplyDeleteif I only read a few pages of a magazine while in the checkout line, am I exempt?
LOL
ReplyDeleteWhile I am almost certain I fit none of those descriptions; I have found myself in a Walmart once or twice. And I saw each and every one of those people. THOSE PEOPLE.
Where you gonna go when your child needs poster board at midnight? argh.
Oh HOLY COW>>>You've done it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is your chance to make a million.
The New and Exciting "Wally World Scavenger Hunt"
See how many you can check off your list ...
You could also get some $$ from a cell phone co. and make a phone list game.
Sadly; if fear I would qualify in several catagories.
Exactly the reason I don't do Wal-Mart. That and the fact that they are one of the slimiest busineses out there. I don't get why people are obsessed with this place. It's a gross shopping experience.
ReplyDeleteOh - I like @eloh's idea about making it into a scavenger hunt!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy are they so universally - gross?
The more I learn about their business practices, the less I shop there - even when it's convenient I avoid it when I can.
Yuck.
But EXCELLENT blog fodder - so get down with your bad self.
Beginning of August. Walmart. All of the above.
ReplyDeleteMe, to my mother: Hrm. Walmart seems even more stank than usual today.
Mother, to me: YEAH! It's the FIRST of the MONTH.
(Even funnier if you know my mom. You don't. But. She's old and very proper.)
Thanks for the 'stay away' reminder.
Oh, and I'm a cantankerous SAHM. I hit stuff with my shopping cart by accident and flood the store with dirty looks. Category, pleeeeeeaaase.
;D
visiting from SITS - so glad i found your site to follow! love other mom bloggers. if you get a sec, come check me out. you won't regret it!

SOO funny. I do Wal-Mart all the time because we have no other choices here in the boonies. And your list is accurate. So where's that put me? Uh-Oh. The good news is, I can run to Wal-Mart even in my jammie pants and dirty hair and no make-up and still look better than everyone else in there.
ReplyDeleteI actually love Walmart, but your post has made me now thankful that it so too far away for me to indulge.
ReplyDeletelol....i always steer clear of walmart on the 1st and the 15th!!! this is exactly why!
ReplyDeleteI've seen lots of Baby Mamas with Hickeys lately. I'd like to officially add this as a category.
ReplyDeleteI was commenting on it (I mean hickeys? It's so 1980) and my son piped up with "Dad, what's a hickey?" he just said, "Ask your mom, she's the one who brought it up!"
LMAO, I think this is why I now shop at Target!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Smooches,
Sassy Chica
You must have been at my Walmart. I see at least one of every one of these. I do fit in. I am cool. They stare at me. Think I am a freak. Want my autograph. I just sneer and walk on. To get my cute shirts and deodorant and milk.
ReplyDeleteYou've covered every possible category, I think. We fit best into the "prudish homeschoolers" category. Without the "prudish," of course.
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting and following my little blog SPEAKING FROM THE CRIB! 'preciate it
ReplyDeletehttp://www.speakingfromthecrib.com
You sure do have a lot of friends now. Hey. How's it going?
ReplyDeleteOoooooh, I love Wal-Mart! I've been twice, both times in a speed-through quick-what's-on-the-list kinda way, and they had EVERYTHING that was on the list! White socks, Voltage tester, Batteries, Walnuts in big bag.... Y'know? Wal-Mart: If you're visiting America, it's your one-stop shopping depot.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should add "Foreigners who are rushing to catch their plane" to your list.
ReplyDeleteGood morning! Stopped by from SITS. You were on roll call above me. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! But it's true...Wal-Mart brings out the best of people and the best in people:) Great comment above me by the way. Can't help but think of your SITS rant;)
ReplyDeleteAnd that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I am a Target shopper. Thank you and goodnight!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That is awesome. What I have been thinking...but you put it so eloquently..
ReplyDeleteYour blog is fantastic!
I LOVE this poem!
ReplyDeleteYou are a poetic genius!
Have you been to the Redding Walmart?
Seems like.
Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteAre there any other kind of people?
I'm afraid I'm a disheveled SAHM on occasion, but I'm usually at Target rather than Walmart.
I'm framing that. I bet I could find a good red-lacquer frame from Wal-Mart with plexiglass to hang it in, too. WHAT is manopause?
ReplyDeletewas cross-dressers on that list? I've seen a few of those at Wally-World lately. There's seems to be a rash of muffin-tops-and-jeans-that-look-like-they've-been-painted-on women over there lately too. Usually hangin by the internal McDonalds counter.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!! LMAO!
