Charging cords for iPhones are a racket, just like razor blades. I refuse to pay $10-$20 for a piece of wire! The cashier at Winco last night suggested I try the dollar store. I thought, “What a brilliant idea.” Unfortunately, the dollar store was already closed.
So I went to the dollar store today. There was one of those homeless carts packed full of junk just outside the front door. It was dingy inside the store, and there were stains on the floor. Quite depressing.
I saw charging cords galore for android phones–micro c, standard c, you name it–in all kinds of colors. There were no cords for iPhones! Highly annoyed, I found an employee unpacking some items and asked him about it. He said they hadn’t carried charging cords for iPhones in years. I started venting about the proprietary nature of Apple, and then I saw that…HE WAS UNPACKING TOILET PAPER. Seriously, there was a whole section of it, and it was like he didn’t even have enough room on the shelf! I hadn’t seen toilet paper in a store for weeks!
Now, I’ve never been a fan of these cheap toilet papers that are puffed up like a loaf of Wonder bread and don’t last very long, but hey, wipers can’t be choosers! I promptly bought some.
And so, boys and girls, always remember that even disappointments can have paper linings.
