I was doing a little shopping on my lunch break today.
Nothing major, just stocking up on some fruits and veggies for the weekend.
Produce goes bad pretty quickly around here, so I usually have to hit up the store every few days if I want to keep fresh stuff around the house.
So there I was, with my basket full of healthy offerings, standing in line waiting my turn. Only, when it was time for me to start unloading my items – I couldn’t take my eyes off the display of Lindor Truffles. The ones right there at the register.
At the very last minute, I grabbed 4 of them and practically threw them at the checkout girl.
Realizing how aggressively I had just behaved, I gave her a sheepish grin and said “Isn’t it funny how being on your period can ruin a perfectly healthy shopping trip?”
She gave me a courtesy laugh.
Yes, a courtesy laugh.
And I stood there with my cheeks turning red screaming in my head “Why do I do that?!?”
Over-sharing.
It’s a specialty of mine.
Not just here, but also in real life.
And apparently this afternoon, I decided on a whim that the checkout girl needed to know I was menstrual.
Because, you know, that’s vital information for a stranger to have.
WHY do I do that?
