Love: Today, rather than buying one pork chop big enough for myself,...

Today, rather than buying one pork chop big enough for myself, I bought two smaller chops just so the cashier wouldn't think I was eating by myself. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I ordered two double cheeseburgers from McDonald's and asked for one of them without pickles so they would think I was ordering for two people. Both burgers were for me. FML

A bit much

Today, I ordered takeout. When I looked in the bag, I saw they'd included four sets of plastic cutlery. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, then estimated that there must be at least four people eating such a large meal. I was eating alone. FML

Today, I went to the drive-through and ordered 5 cheeseburgers. I told the cashier that some of them were for my girlfriend. I don't have a girlfriend, and I ate all of them by myself. FML

Today, I ordered a large stuffed crust supreme pizza for myself. When I picked it up, I asked for extra plates and napkins so the cashier wouldn't know I don't have any friends. FML

Today, I bought some mandarins so that there would be at least one healthy thing in my shopping basket, and I wouldn’t feel like such a fat lard at the checkout. FML

Introvert struggles

Today, I ate out, even though I was tired. When my main course arrived, I realised I had sent both my forks away with the starter plate. Rather than say anything, I ate dinner with two knives. FML

Fighting talk

Today, while shopping, I told my wife I'd love some pork chops for dinner. Someone nearby muttered, "That's practically cannibalism, ya fat pig." My wife immediately had a "coughing attack" that sounded suspiciously like it was covering up laughter. FML

Today, while on break from work, I went to the cafeteria and bought cheese cubes. One of my coworkers, who is usually very pleasant, asked to try some and I said yes. She ate all the cheddar cubes in the bowl, which are the only ones I like. I wasted $3 for someone else to eat my food. FML

Keeping up appearances

Today, I ordered food for delivery. I actually made it sound as if there were other people at home so I had an excuse for ordering so much. I don't think they bought it. FML

Today, being near-broke, I resorted to shopping at Walmart. Barely ten minutes in, an obese sack of lard posing as a human being shoved me away from the bacon I was looking at. I fell, busted my lip, then got screamed at by another woman for not watching where I was going. FML

Does it matter what the cashier thinks?

Who cares what other people think? I was a cashier once, long ago. The cashier probably didn't care or notice either.

It's crazy how weirdly excited I get when there is a post from Australia, let alone Queensland because I live there

I'm a cashier. I wouldn't have noticed. At all.

The only purchase I remember from retail days was the woman who could not afford feminine anti itch cream so she put it back and bought a bottle of rubbing alcohol. My mind went to a dark place. Also men wearing bub overalls and a john Deere cap should not buy cooch plugs... just not right.

Who cares about the cashier. You have much bigger problems. If you need to buy two to be 'enough', it sounds like you're eating too much...

You shouldn't care what someone thinks if you one big pork chop instead of two then get one. You are not the only single person out there that buys groceries for one. I am an example for one.
