Is there anything worse than the tedium and frustration you experience while waiting in line?
Especially if you’re waiting for something special, the anticipation makes you want to burst out of your own skin, am I right?
It’s one thing to wait in line at the grocery store, pharmacy, bank, etc., but when you’re actually looking forward to whatever is waiting for you at the end of the line, every second is a minute, right?
I’ve spent more time than I care to measure waiting in line with hundreds of fanboys at Fan Expo Canada, and even when you’re geeking out to the max, lines are brutal on the nerves!
And this is just the line OUTSIDE!
And what about waiting in line at Wal-mart at Christmas?
’Tis the season to be jolly, my ass! Admit it, there have been times when you could have beaten some fellow shopper into a coma with a Tickle Me Elmo just for cutting in line or taking too long at the cashier, right?
Yep, lines rock.

#68: Grocery Shopping While Hungry!
You have no one to blame but yourself.
It’s a well-known fact: you WILL buy more at the grocery store if you’re already ravenous when you race through those sliding doors!
We tend to listen to our more primal urges more than our sense of reason (EPECIALLY men!), and hunger is a pretty powerful urge, so you want to avoid puitting yourself in a vulnerable position whenever possible. Anything will look good and find it’s way into your cart.
My advice? Make sure to scarf down anything you can before hitting those tempting aisles.
