Where do you get pink lemons? ^

I hate when I order lemonade and they ask me if I want pink, or even worse if they just hand me pink.

Selfies.
- I've done one in my life just to find out how, and then I deleted it.

^ Imagine people of previous eras painting self-portraits to demonstrate their vanity.

Self-checkout.
- I can never see and I get flustered and end up calling help, drawing attention to myself.
- If I'm going to save the store money by replacing an employee, I should get a discount.
- Plus, ewwww about having to touch all those buttons.

Same. People with social anxiety say they love the self-checkouts but those give me social anxiety! I feel more at ease just going to a human at a checkout. Most checkout staff in supermarkets are grumps these days so they hardly chat to you anyway unless they know you.

I won't use self-checkouts.
I find an employee and tell them I'm disabled (meaning: can't see, balance issues from stroke, stress disorder)
If they only have self-checkouts I ask the employee to do it for me.

Balance is an issue because the self-checkout shelf is too small to set my basket.
You have to leave your basket on the ground and reach down repeatedly for items.
For one thing my glasses fall off, or my hair goes in my face, but I've also had a stroke.

With a proper till I can lift my basket up all at once to get the stuff out.

When people on internet forums have their own way of spelling certain words, not because they're bad spellers but because they just like to. Just speak English!

The remedy is simple: stop trolling, stop posting off topic, content-free noise.

Thanks! Very cool!
I meant to google about pink lemons yesterday but I forgot.

Apparently they have clear juice and they aren't used for pink lemonade.
Pink lemonade is made with food colouring.

Either way that's really interesting!

People engaging my attention with thoughtful insights into my favorite STEM subjects, only to eventually turn the entire conversation to their own misfortunes and misery.

If you add a drop or two of beet juice you can have pink lemonade without nasty chemicals.

^It seems that pink is a trend. Rosé wine obviously became very popular compared with two decades ago. Grapefruits nowadays by default are pink. "Rose gold" is (was?) popular for electronics. Even pink pineapples. Everything is becoming pink.

My new pet peeve:
People who touch food directly with their dirty fingers and offer it to me. No, thanks (cause you touched it, yuk!).

Disclaimers at the end of adverts where they say loads of words in a fast voice that goes on and on.

Modern songs that sound similar to that old "Hey Good Lookin' What You Got Cookin'?" song.

When people vomit on buses and it's your job to do the unpleasant honours of cleaning it up. :eew:
