A Disappointing Observation (The Morning Store Run) · 6:58pm Oct 2nd, 2013
Today was going to be a day like any other, I thought as I stepped into the deli/convenient store this morning. Planned to order some breakfast, pick up an energy drink for the dual-purpose of waking myself up and shortening my life a little, and then head into work to question what I'm busy doing with my life and wondering if I will come up with good ideas during the eight hour grind that I may be able to put to paper (or... to harddrive, I suppose).
Then my neutral mood changed as I noticed something upon the counter to my side, and my day was just not going to be the same after it. The object of my momentary fascination was simply an unassuming squirt bottle: One made of translucent plastic, and was probably bought at a dollar store. Inside it was some form of orange cleaning agent, which didn't really catch my attention as much as the streaks of blue writing down the side of the little plastic bottle that shattered pretty much any hope I had for humanity as a whole for the day.
"DO NOT DRINK."
A world where that is required to be printed on the side of a spray bottle containing mysterious orange, bubbling fluid is a world that should certainly not exist. I do hope it's self-explanatory as to why it is inexcusable for that written warning to be a necessity.
Get your shit together, World. This is ridiculous.
To be fair, I'd probably at least taste it. It could be orange soda, the best soda!
Well...
It's almost a guarantee that someone had tried drinking it. Or even putting it in an enema. People are stupid.
