Current Events > Saw a woman crying at the grocery store today

(+) Yeah! (+)

We were in the canned goods isle soup and stuff and shes standing infront of where chicken noodle soup would have been except its completely gone. Shes having a melty infront of everyone about some soup. Imagine being that upset about food, in a store that's still 98% full of food.

This whole flu things is nuts, people hoarding soup and pasta like those are the only things in the world to eat smh

But I don't want Cream of Celery

Go a couple aisles over, buy noodles.
Go to the back, buy a chicken.
Go to the baking section, buy some salt and spices.
Problem solved.

True but then I'd have to cook and that requires effort

Meltdowns aren't about what's happening at the moment. It's about everything building up to that moment. But keep judging people dealing with severe stress and anxiety.

Well... you gotta drive to the grocery store to buy soup, so the horizontal integration makes a lot of sense here.

Most people can't cook and are useless in a kitchen

Probs better to have something canned in a situation like this though I guess you could make the soup and freeze it.

Come over and I treat you to delicious soup babe.

But why would it matter? There is no extreme event coming that's going to cause power outages or prevent cooking ?

I wonder if it's too late to buy an industrial freeze-dryer.

Well if they're cooped up at home anyways, now's the perfect time to learn how to combine flour, eggs, and oil.

That's the point he was trying to make. It's not about the soup being sold out, its everything else that lead up to her finding out its sold out. My wife suffers from anxiety and those breakdowns are never about one thing but the culmination of many things going wrong.

maybe she has been having a shitty week and all day she'd been thinking about a can of shitty chicken noodle soup that is her guilty pleasure comfort food because she used to eat it a lot with her dad before he died and it always makes her feel better - then she gets to the store and a bunch of panicking idiots have bought all the shitty canned food.

Oooookay I mean then just hold the meltdown til you get back to the car this is flu pandemic now no time for crying in the store grab some soup and keep it moving

This is why societies collapse.
Nearly everyone gets so used to pampered comfort, that the slightest disruption ruins the fuck out everything, while the un-pampered get especially screwed.

The Amish are going to end up ruling us all when this is finally over.

Oh fuck!
Cheetos are sold out?!?!

It's pretty clear we just move on right? This dudes either trolling or hasn't progressed his understanding of people since middle school.

chicken noodle is a favorite. though straight Tomato soup is the most hated thing of all.
if it's tomato base with stuff in it. is okay to me ie minestrone.
---

I love both chicken noodle and tomato, among other soups. Hell, beef broth and chicken broth with some added herbs is delicious to just sip on.

I give you props. You are very believable with your ignorance. I actually believe you don't know what you're doing.

Lmao that sucks for her

A lot of you guys on this board lack empathy

Hoarding food is ridiculous for survival 'cause all it does is buy you more time to suffer in a cruel post apocalyptic world.

And your food pantry will run out in a couple of weeks, months, whatever...then what? Back to square one.

So, wouldn't you rather die sooner rather than later in this scenario? After all, who wants to live in a world gone wild?

"I'm sad that you're sad" doesn't solve a goddamn thing.

dolomedes posted...

you don't have to be sad because someone else is sad.

you just don't have to be a dick to a sad person.

Imagine being so resistant to empathy that you don't even realize this >_>

Not buying clothes in the soup store smh
