Worst thing is bumping into people I know in the local grocery shop.It doesn’t matter if it’s someone I haven’t seen for 20 years or my best friend I see all the time, it always ends up with that awkward pause when we both want to get on with our shopping, but can’t quite cut it lose, so we look in each others baskets and say stuff like “Uuh, canned tomatoes, excellent choice!”.
Later, at the checkout, it always ends up being you, some stranger, your friend. You then have to figure out whether to pretend not to see your friend because you’re super busy reading the label on a gallon of milk or start talking around the stranger in the middle.
So here I am, mightily bewildered because I thought a ding dong was slang for a penis. Of course he hasn’t a family, why else would he need a box of… wait, what?
So apparently, it’s candy now. From the makers of the Twinkie. Oh Tallahassee, where art thou!
I rarely ever bump into people I know grocery shopping, for which I am thankful. I’m known throughout the store as “That guy who buys a ton of cat food.”
Running into someone you work with sucks. Especially when you try to keep a professional attitude at work but, you just happen to be on a beer run when you round the corner and BAAM! “Crap!”
Only time I ever run into anyone I know at the store is when I’m in a huge hurry and they’re feeling chatty.
Or I’m purchasing…feminine products for my wife (yeah, I buy them for her. I’m comfortable with who I am).
Hahaha, you’re actually right… Last time I bumped into some classmates at the store was when I was at the pharmacist buying some wart remover. I almost never meet anyone I know like that otherwise.
I find that a good antidote to feeling embarrassed is to explain the predicament in great, factual detail.

Don’t you mean a final ‘Fart-well’?

I enjoyed reading that comment nearly as much as the comic.
I feel your pain.
Or even worse, when it’s an ex-friend. I clamp the jaw and do the stone-faced 1000-yard stare.

what do you do with all the cat food?
Feed the cats. We have eight of them
I was briefly worried that you were feeding children with it. Or worse, dogs.
The piercings on the antennas (antenni?) of music store bug are awesome.
Thanks for pointing out that they are piercings. I thought they were curls, but couldn’t figure out why he’d have a n antenna curl…
There’s a lot more bug piercings in the last panel of this early strip: https://www.bugmartini.com/comic/that-guy/
Antennae is the word you were looking for.
I love his futuristic shades.
Me too. At first I thought it’s LaForge bug.
I had the cashier call out a price check on the lice medication I was buying for a friend.
Seriously.
xD
“…for a friend.”
Don’t feel badly, we’ve all used THAT line at least once!
That’s what makes it so funny to me. It really was ‘for a friend.”
She was worried she wouldn’t buy the right stuff (A-200 Pyrinate).
I’ve been fortunate never to have caught anything along those lines (knock on DDT).

Whenever I run into a coworker at the store, I always say the same thing:
“Sheesh, they’ll let anybody shop here!
*haha* Yeah, I know that line … has been used on me as well as I used it on others …
Only time I ever run into anyone I know at the store is when I’m in a huge hurry and they’re feeling chatty.

And a bottle of smellysilencer.
You realize, of course, that the *usual* flatulence medication is more like QuickVent.
Corkitall… I LOVE that name!

I have just learned that I should not read this strip while eating.
