I was already walking around feeling kind of weird. I'd already gotten everything on my list but I just kept looking and looking for something else I needed. I felt a lot of commonality with "what am I doing" guy. Personal crisis in the grocery store is a new universal.

At Kroger yesterday I saw a man wearing something comfortable. This is not unsusal. I's say he was in his late 20s, fit, contemporary looking, probably not balding but his hair was too long to tell. He was moving slowly with a cart a quarter full in the toilet paper and automotive supply aisle. I came around the corner just in time to watch him freeze, look up at me, and slowly and distinctly mouth the words "Who are you, anyway?". This is kind of unusual after all.

One problem with seeing a friend at the store (and I think I already half-expected to see you because I knew you'd been out taking pictures) is having to end the conversation and then know you're going to run into that person again in two aisles.
Like, are we supposed to talk more now? "Hey look, you picked up some detergent. Washin' clothes, huh? Yeah, I should probably do that too"
The alternative, I guess, is just to spend the rest of the time shopping together. But shopping can be such an intensely personal experience/trial.
Another alternative is for me to just be normal and not think there is a problem with seeing a friend at the store.
Another alternative is for you to make me some of those brownies.
yeah, i do that sometimes. i attribute my what am i doings to stress, which is abundant for me. i love to watch people though, not in a sick way, but i love the study of people. i like the way you worded your observation. i could see this picture and it's one i've seen a million as well.
