She Screams, He Screams, Then I Buy Their Ice Cream
A while back, my brother-in-law was waiting in the checkout line when a couple nearby started arguing. They had one container of ice cream in their cart, and the woman was trying to convince her husband to go back and grab the last one. It was a slightly unusual flavor from a popular local brand, and she was in full panic-buying mode. If it’s almost gone, we have to buy it all!
To hear my brother-in-law tell it, the exchange went something like this.
Woman: “Come on! Just go grab the last one.”
Man: “But we don’t need two tubs of ice cream!”
Woman: “But there’s only one left!”
And so on and so forth. They argued back and forth until my brother-in-law got fed up listening to them. He walked over to the nearby ice cream cooler, grabbed the last tub of ice cream, and put it in his cart.
They quit arguing after that.
