A sex-post kind of day...
I know a couple of people on here who will appreciate this. I drag myself to the supermarket to pick up a few things, and decide while there I better get some condoms. Shaz has been decidedly more amourous of late, and since we don't want her to go getting pregnant just yet, we're using condoms.
So I go looking and there are vibrating (which are sold out), plain, and ribbed. So, plain or ribbed? I decide I want ribbed in the hopes that my lady may enjoy it more. 6-pack or 12? I'm a pretty optimistic guy, so I want a twelve pack.
Except.
The only twelve packs they have either have two glow-in-the-dark condoms, or two chocolate flavoured condoms included in the dozen. I just want twelve ribbed condoms. Now there are times when I'd go the glow, but today, no. My mood was such that the idea of glow-in-the-dark or flavoured condoms that I don't want was intensely annoying.
I check through the shelves. Nope. If I want a twelve pack of Ansell, my condom of choice, I have to choose between two options I don't want. I'm still not coping with the world well, little things are tending to break me. I'm tempted to just walk away. But if I don't buy them, I'm sure to regret it.
Ansell you bastards! Don't replace two of the condoms I definitely want with two types I don't want! If you want me to try the product in the hopes I'll go for them, chuck in the two non-standard ones as extras dammit! Then I have the condoms I want, and I may try out the others and decide I like them, and I'll certainly think better of the company for it.
I bought a six-pack.

Hmmmm, thinks:
If you buy 4 x 6 packs does that constitute a slab?

And if 4 x 6 packs is a slab, are you meant to leave one out for the garbos at Christmas time?

(I used to hang out with a teetotal garbo. He was always really pleased when people left out soft drinks. Mind you, I'm not sure if they still stop to pick such things up, given the automated trucks, and the awful schedules they work)
