Every once in a while, I go through a period of time where I want to update my blog, but can’t think of anything interesting to write. In blogging terminology, this is officially known as “sucking.”

I had this neat little exchange with the cashier at a store:

Him: “Would you like a bag with that?
Me: “Sure.”

Now, at this point, conversation could have resolved like this:

Him: “Okay.”

Instead, it went something like this:

Him: “Finally, someone asks for one of our wonderful plastic bags! You know this things will never biodegrade and will be around for 5 million years, right? Great choice. After you get this bag home I bet it’s going to take up space in a landfill somewhere.”

Me: “Uh, okay. Thanks.”

I normally reuse my plastic bags for other purposes (to line trash cans, carry things places, suffocate infants, etc.) but just to spite this guy, I took a cab to the nearest landfill and threw the bag directly into it. Take that, random cashier guy.
