Any answer is right except for “yes”

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.

    Maybe next time, you should just tell him you don’t believe in that “global warming” bullshit… after all, everyone knows it’s all lies. :/ Well anyrate, you could just tell him he’s an asshole. Or use said plastic bag to suffocate said cashier. The possibilities are endless, really…

    Umm…I think the cashier was soliciting his mother for prostitution. I’m pretty sure you just misunderstood him. Or his girlfriend. Who is his mom.
