Sо I аm аt Wаlmаrt sсаnning аnd bаgging my аlmоst $300

So I am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries while the employee that wants $15 an hour “monitors” and then this happened.

Her – why are you double bagging all of your groceries?

Me – excuse me?

Her – you are wasting our bags!

Me – if you don’t likе the way I’m bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself.

Her – that’s not my job!

Me – okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that’s all right with you.

Her – why are you using two bags?!

Me – because the bags are weak and I don’t want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out.

Her – well that’s because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag then you wouldn’t need to double bag.

*10 seconds of me just staring at her.

Me – so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don’t have to double bag.

Her – exactly.

Me – so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items.

Her – no because you wouldn’t be double bagging.

*me pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching.

Me – okay so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag I’m still using two bags for these two items.

Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it’s not the same number of bags.

*me looking around at about 10 other customers who at this point are enjoying the show.

Me- is this likе that Common Core math stuff I keep hearing about?

Her- never mind you just don’t get it.

And with that, she went back to her little Podium so she could continue texting or playing games on her phone or whatever it was she was doing before she decided to come over and critique my bagging skiIIs.

Found a strange small “room” in my ancient barn’s top

Historically, barn owls played a crucial role in rural farming life, particularly in pest control.

Farmers believed barn owls were highly effective at keeping pests in check, prompting them to construct nest boxes within their barns. This practice, rooted in traditional farming wisdom and environmental awareness, showcased farmers’ deep respect for the natural balance.

Nest boxes were often fashioned from readily available materials like wood and straw, ensuring they provided adequate ventilation and drainage for the owls’ comfort and safety. Placed strategically in barn lofts, rafters, and quiet corners, these nesting spaces harmonized farm activities with the owls’ nesting requirements.

Today, the tradition of building barn owl nest boxes endures as a cherished family practice passed down through generations. It goes beyond mere pest control, symbolizing a commitment to sustainable farming practices and the preservation of agricultural heritage.

This longstanding relationship between humans and the environment highlights our ongoing ability to coexist harmoniously with nature, showcasing a timeless bond that transcends generations.
