Because there are some odd things happening in the news these past few days.
Earlier on in the week I read about the person who was fired from their job at McDonald’s somewhere in Holland, for giving their colleague an extra slice of cheese in their hamburger. Thank god the courts saw sense.
Then this morning I read about the driver in Scotland who was given a £60 fine, for blowing his nose in his car, while it was at a standstill. The copper who issued the ticket had previously ticketed somebody else for littering, because they dropped a tenner. Anally retentive or what?
Or what about the shopper who’s now banned from Tesco’s in Wales because she wore her pajamas to the store to pick up some cigarettes? I have to admit that although I haven’t worn pjs as such, I have worn to Tesco’s a tatty old pair of sweatpants that I wear at bedtime. Because they look like old sweatpants, nobody bats an eyelid. Saying that, I have popped into my local Tesco’s wearing my slippers, just because I couldn’t be arsed to change into my shoes. Admittedly they were weren’t of the fluffy variety, they’re the suede man slippers that I bought in Marks and Spencer’s years ago.
Some people need to lighten up just a touch.
