Hahaha!!! Never say defeat!! Would you be horrified if I said, "Amazon?" A cursory look reveals several kinds and you'll never have to endanger yourself again!!
Hilarious!! Love it! It reminds me of a couple of things. 1) Whenever I accompany my wife "to town" there is normally a destination in her mind. I log that in, drive there, dutifully wait for her to accomplish whatever mission she has on her agenda, then, we head for home...or so I think. Invariably, the "back in the car" conversation entails her saying: "Oh, and I need to run by Trader Joes, Target (and the bombshell)... COSTCO! I think she can see me visibly shake as she's running down the list of (in my mind) unplanned stops. You'd think after 33 years with her, I'd know this was coming and mentally prepare but it still pegs my anxiety level as I picture the crowds, cars, and parking issues. I don't do crowds well.
And 2) I've always held this premise: if you want to get an idea of how locals in any town or city drive their cars...just go to your local Walmart and watch how they maneuver their shopping carts. The general state of obliviousness displayed in shopping cart operation is the same tunnel-visioned approach to driving they display on the roads: coming out of aisles w/out looking right or left; stopping in the middle of the aisle blocking all others coming and going; on their cell phones talking while shopping while others try to get around; and in some extreme examples, cutting lines at check-out.
I consider my wife to be pretty fortunate! I've become her personnel chauffer as I prefer waiting in the car vs. going into that madness.... so she gets curbside drop-off and pick-up service. And I get some semblance of peace and quiet in the car to read while she shops. Win-Win!
I KNEW KNEW KNEW you two were my people.
We did use them during pandemic, i guess.
I'm laughing! And my suggestion is also Amazon! no standing in line or driving or anything! just a few clicks and it's yours!
I'm with you on the raisin thing. Why anyone would put a raisin in a baked good is beyond me. Dave agrees.
