Ranting again.

I don't get it.

Really, I don't. And I don't see the point to it either. I mean, seriously, what's the point? Why not have one person walk over to the other and tell them what they want them to buy? Why is it that they aren't capable of verbal communication with one another? Why is it that nobody ever thinks of going over to the produce section and putting the broccoli in the cart on their own without having to be reduced to semaphore and miming?

If yelling across the store is too rude, how come having to walk over and talk at a typical indoor volume is seen as being just as bad? Are we that set against direct confrontation? If so, can we move on as a society, if only to keep the mimes away? Think of the mimes! French and totally silent - it's like ninjas, only with pastries!

... because clearly it's not romantic to walk one's own ass to the produce aisle! /eyeroll

addendum

Not that I would turn town telepathic powers to get someone to get my broccoli for me, of course, I'm just sayin'. <3

Romance has no place when it comes to proper nutrition!

Ninjas and pastries are definitely in my top 100 favorite things. Mmm... ninja pastries...

On topic, I do things like that. I'm the jerk doing the miming. Because it causes frustration in the other person and, therefore, brings the lulz. That's how I roll.

Symbolism of Soul Mates Forever, of course. I mean, honestly, if you can't convey to your best beloved to buy broccoli from across an aisle, how can you possibly exchange a glance through a crowded, scream-and-gunfire-filled battle that will inform them they need to fight their way across the orbital station in order to defeat the Evil Nemesis while you cut the red wire to de-activate the Doomsday Device and then re-unite after the climactic moment for the Obligatory Embrace of Love and Triumph?

I had to click, and yeah, I thought it was dumb, too. Apparently that's true love: knowing what your lover means when they Wryly Quick An Eyebrow. *gag*
