The problem with peanuts
What started off as a slightly humerous and vaguely annoying occurence has escalated to true Seinfeldiying epic scale. There is a snack food dispenser at the office. It supplies all the usual offerings, chips, cookies, candy bars and peanuts. Two flavors of peanuts; bbq for those with disabled taste buds, and for the true nut afficionado we have the honey roasted. Sounds ideal doesnt it, an option depending on peanut mood. However, rather than put them both in separate slots some snack food ignoramus has put them both in the same dispenser row. Why, I dont know, there are other empty slots. In fact a whole row waits empty on the bottom rung. Willing and able to accomadate hundreds of bags of honey roasted peanuts but I digress. The problem is that the nuts are staggered. Two of each in a row all the way to the back. Each week however, no matter when I go there is only the bbq nuts up front. I know they move though because I track them and each week it has moved yet my nuts stay hidden behing the shit nuts. Like I said it was slighly humerous a few months ago but now 5 months later having only ever gotten my nuts of choice twice I am more than annoyed. I am puzzled at why the snack food Jesus would pull such a trick on me. What have I ever done to the snack food gods to anger them... just had a thought, damn, I know what it was. Its my mom and her damn job. Giving me all those free chocolate bars for years, me never paying for candies, the snack food gods must see that as me not paying my proper respects to them and honoring them with snack food sacrifices. Damn, I just want to be able to buy my honey roasted peanuts every week.

You got free candy bars when you were younger?!?!That's every kid's dream- well that and to have Webster's house, and the Silver Spoons dad.
As for the nuts, I totally understand. You need to glue a friendly letter on that machine asking the nut jesus to please seperate his flavours.

Yeah but I dont know if the nut Jesus is english or french and leaving a bilingual note would be lame.
And actually my mom didnt get me free candy bars when I was a kid, that only started in University. She worked for Mr. Christie before that so all we got was free cookies.
