Talk to me!
My karmic reserves must be especially low since I always get stuck behind the smelly shut-ins buying a fifth and a Skor bar or the ancient woman paying with war bonds.
How cool ... nice to have your faith in humanity restored now and then, isn't it?
That last line made me spit coffee. If we ever meet, smack me for not reading your blog from day one.
At least I can go back and read the archives!
Lucky bastard!
Had that been me, not only would they have bailed on my cart immediately after having paid for their groceries, they would have also gone to my house (knowing I wasn't there) and shot my dog.
Not that I actually HAVE a dog, but you know what I mean...
Thanks for lifting my spirits on this gloomy, post Cowgirl loss, Monday!
That's heartwarming....we definitely do get what we give in life 
.
With the condoms, they might have thought it was a attempted pick up by you.
Your name is Earl.
Had it been the condom night it could have been awkward or it could have ended with, "Dear Penthouse Forum, The list of groceries was long..."
awkward indeed
It wouldn't have been awkward at all--it would have sealed your reputation as study house husband of the neighborhood. You should throw some condoms in the cart every time you go.
Gotta love karma. And really that WOULD have been awkward, with the condoms!
dude you totally had the magnums in there and that's why they helped you out!
just kidding.
it's good to know there's still some kind people left in LA...
Good deeds are contagious. All it takes is one and many more will follow.
Also, getting to go to the market ALONE is always a good thing for me. A much needed break and really the only time I get "alone time."
Were you wearing that I heart hot moms t-shirt?
I thought for sure that the story was going to end with them heaving your stuff aside and that 5 people had taken your spot - or at least that would have happened at my market. It's nice to know karma still works (oh wait, no it's not because I got a big pile of payback coming my way).
maybe they would have been proud of you for practicing safer sex? 
You were alone at the grocery store. You definitely won!
Tell the truth, it was low calorie beer you were getting.
a night at the grocery alone to just breathe? the longer the line the better.
I was in line to pay for my groceries with my 2 kids... everybody thinking what a great father I was...until I asked them to put the cart aside since I didn't have my wallet.
I could see from the stares that they were disapointed, probably
- these kids were kidnapped
- I was on welfare and didn't have any money to pay anyway
- I saw my drug dealer which I didn't pay for the last 6 months and I had to run.
Anyway, nobody paid my $85 worth of groceries...
I guess I need to load up on karma!
Now wasn't that just the sweetest thing for them to do.
Maybe had you taken a little longer they would have paid for the too
Maybe I should try doing something nice tomorrow to see what happens. Of course, good deeds done purly for a better pay out probably don't count for much.
The Whitman. The Whitinator. Charming the ladies. Making copies. The Whitster. The Whitmyster.
Dude, come back to my contest and try your answers again. I'm sorry to say you got them all wrong!
It is so nice when it works. So many people would just take your generosity, then leave your stuff there and zip on out of the store... It really DOES give one some hope that we are all not lost. There really can be some humanity yet in the world, even in something so small. You did a good thing. I'm glad you got it returned.
Maybe they were after a toy boy? Condoms would have increased your chances too!
