shock value


Seriously. What the fuck? I just went to BJ's (the bulk store, thanks so much, hold your blow job jokes for later, people ;) ) and the entire time I was in there my cart was shocking me. No shit. bzzt! bzzt! bzzt! All through my shopping trip. Little jolts of pain every time I wrapped my hand around the handle of my cart. It got so bad at one point that I stopped, bent over and examined my cart. I was certain I was on one of those reality shows like Candid Camera and some fuck was in the back room with a button giving me measured jolts of electricity every time I gripped to steer.

Finally, I had to hold my cart in this uber weird she is a crazy woman way to steer. I held the little plastic coated box you have to slide a quarter in to even get your cart and the top coated part of the handle. I looked...stupid. But it was better than muttering, "Jesus Christ! Son of a bitch! Ow! Rat bastard!" ever step or so.

I mean, I've heard of shock therapy to avoid certain behaviors, but I wasn't buying that much stuff!

OMG! It does that at our grocery store too. It's like a static shock, only has more ooomph. WTF? Why does it do that?

That just happened to me, too! I was at Sprouts about an hour ago and kept getting zapped. My arm is still tingling.

hmm. i think this is a shopping cart conspiracy! maybe it's to make you shop fast and not really consider your purchases since you're so juiced with electricity X-D

Hee. I think it is the shoes. And also, dragging your feet. No more shuffling! Or rubbery soles...

although, it is also possible that some trolleys are reincarnated evil people...

the vibration + start of carpal tunnel syndrome = pain?

just a thought.
