The Grocery Store Checkout Line Tailgater

[steveboomer]

When I'm on cycle, one of the most dangerous activities I engage in is checking out at the grocery store.

Inevitably, when I am on higher dosages, and in the most agitated mood possible, I will encounter the grocery store check out line tailgater.

The guy who gives you 3 inches of space as you are swiping your card to check out...well that happened to me today.

This man, who resembled Kim Jung Un, was nuts to butts with me the whole time I was stacking my sh*t on the conveyer...I kept my cool until it was time to pay, then the mf'r gets so close to me I could feel him breathing on my neck. I did say something to him I won't say what it was but it was stern, and people behind him started backing away uneasily...but I wasn't too nasty...he just grumbled at me and waved his hand as if he was the literal dictator of the grocery store. If I was 6-7 years younger it would have been a different story.

I am going to have to live in the woods.

This is one of the reasons why I pretty much just run test now, the more I take the more mellow I get as long as e2 is managed. Even a good dose of mast or var will have me fantasizing about ripping skull cracking osotogaris on annoying people at the gym or work.

I live in the middle of a cornfield, it helps.

I hate that too, just the other day and his little kid was doing the same, zero personal space, good example, well done moron!

Mrs knows me well and quickly moved in front of me to avoid me losing my shit with that old man that was almost breathing on my neck, I just stayed calm but God if I wanted to knock him out cold....

And that's one of the thousands reasons why I stopped using Tren years back.

High test keeps me chill as long as I manage e2 from time to time as I don't aromatase easy.

Doesn’t matter if I’m cruising on 100mgs a week of Test, I cannot stand people getting inside my personal space. It’s mostly a city folk thing because I live in what used to be the rural south. Now it’s east California but still, you don’t crowd up on people around here. Unless you’re at a concert or sporting event, you are given plenty of room for personal space.

I have noticed it’s different even in the nearest midsize city. People are just more comfortable crowding up on other people. Blows my mind and makes me very uncomfortable. I imagine many parts of China and India are very loaded with a huge number of habitual line steppers that crowd others unnecessarily. I live on 8 acres in the woods. I hate answering my phone and I hate having to drive through downtown. Gimme wide open spaces, no lines or crowds and more animals for neighbors than people all day.

Idk how you people get used to living in huge clusters of humans and concrete jungles. Fuck that forever. It just ain’t natural to live stacked on top of each other.

Even though it was complete bullsheeit I do miss the 6 foot Covid rule. Those were good times.

I plot my escape everyday! I already live as far away from the city center as I possibly can...it's just that my metro area is extra bad. The inner city seems to have expanded way further out into the suburbs post-covid. Perhaps that will recede slightly now. People are posting videos of the streets in NYC and they are oddly empty and seemingly clean...

I am working on saving enough that I can buy a place out in the country out of state once I work out the logistics work-wise.

You're right though I think some of these people from the far-east are used to being crowded in like sardines. Look, I get it, but if I went to China and acted a fool somebody would say something.

A buddy of mine studied in China for awhile there was some blue-haired chick in his study-abroad group who refused to shave her legs. He said whenever they would ride public transport people would point at her legs and howl with laughter. Then he said he tried going jogging outside and this Chinese man would follow him around mocking him shouting "Won, two, free, fo! won, two, free fo!" like he was an army man.

Thanks bro.

Recommend any specific careers for homesteading? I'm a cubicle commander on a set salary.

My county has over 11 million people and this rarely happens. With that being said, I will call out any stupid behavior regardless of how much gear I'm on. Now if I add Tren, I'm a LOT less "diplomatic" about it. Lol I do envy people in small towns and few neighbors. The constant sound of guns, fireworks and sirens really wears down on a persons soul.

Find something you're good at and can do remotely. Take on multiple employers and contracts. Advertise your skills on social media. Don't rely on one source of income. This is general advice that I think everyone should consider.

I feel as though this will lead you to homesteading (or whatever your desired living situation) more reliably than other courses of action. You need a nest egg and a continual source of income.
