We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
A buggy being what many of us call a shopping cart?
This list is SOOOOoooo delightfully White Trash. (yeah. I'm judgenmental. so sue me)
If nothing else, with the air freshener, deod*rant/SOUP, and ax spray, at least they'll... um... smell nice? (ack! Ack!)
Any guesses what "bumpers" refers to?
A'ight. Happy Sunday..
Yes, yes. another list.. but this one's funny. I'm actually surprised that, since it's the WalMart list, it has no "guns & ammo" type entries.
Covers for couches. toilet seat cover.. Only ONE trashbag?
If they can spell "seat" why can't they spell beater or bleach?
This list is kind of touching. So few words are spelled right, yet it was written by someone who is doing her best and making her way through life earnestly.
I'd love to get a recording of her internal dialog, just to see how the world fits together for her.
I love how the finder refers to the shopping cart as a "buggy."
my bf is from houston and also used to call a cart a "buggy" until i cured him of the habit through merciless teasing. yay for enculturation.
this list reads so stereotypically white trash that i somewhat doubt its authenticity.
Things to take back to the trailer.
I find it ironic and hilarious that this person wants to buy the ultimate in "white trash" attire the "Wife beater" tee-shirt but apparently is so uniformed that he or she does not realize the proper name of the garment.LOL
hahaha... i thought 'long nails' refered to fake press-on fingernails, not nail-in-a-wall nails... that's when you know you've spent to much time in the local small-mart (unsupersized walmart, so little they don't even sell milk..)
bumpers? that is a puzzle. crib bumpers? car bumper shiner? (yes, there is such a thing) my granny used to call diapers bumpers, but i don't think that's it...
Oh that's funny. White beeters t-shirts instead of wife-beater t-shirts! That reminds me of the kids' book where the character thought the first words of the Star-Spangled Banner were "Jose, can you see.." I can't remember what book that was.
A white beeter t-shirt might be worn by a farmer who raises white beets...?
Our Walmart isn't super sized, but they sell milk and they have 3 or 4 aisles of food items.
I think this author of this list is male or else a butchy female--boxers, white beeters, t-shirts, socks, drill, Axe.
Trying to figure out what "bumpers" could mean...
Clover.. funny you mention misunderstood lyrics of the Star Spangled Banner.. just yesterday I was thinking about Ramona and the Dawnzer. (the kind of lamp that gives off Lee light.)
In HS one of our teams' rivals was the Chinook Sugar Beeters. (can you guess what was the primary crop of their local farmers?)
Oh, I forgot to mention...
Rubber baby-buggy bumpers.
@Terrie-Is-So-Very: "butchy female"? How about wife or mother?
Because Nightngale, I like to stereotype wives and mothers as good spellers. Also, I like to think that they would write a-shirts or tank tops instead of white beeters.
@Terrie-Is-So-Very: Boxers and tank tops (aka wife beaters) are great for pyjamas!
And some men just don't know how to fix things, so it's up to the woman to use the drill, etc ;)
Ok. Dude. I know females who wear guys tank tops and boxers and use drills, they're not butchy. Somebody assumed the list writer was female, I was considering maybe the note write was male or a lesbian, what's wrong with that? I bet lesbians shop at Walmart too.
And not just the white trash ones.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the interesting handwriting. Look at the "R" on Bumpers and on spray. There are at least three different "R"s in this list; capital at the begining of a word, capital in the middle, and lower case in the middle of a word. I am wondering if it was all written by the same person or not. Alas, I am no handwriting expert.
Finally, what is "Gram Brina", am i missing something obvious there?
I'm just SO glad I don't ever shop at Walmart!
I, too, label my lists by which store I need to pick everything up in.
Toilet seat covers disgust me. It seems revoltingly unsanitary to have a rug a few inches from all the microscopic flush spray. Plus, you can't sit on the seat w/o it being all carpet-y. I always cringe when going into somebody's bathroom that has one of these covers. I wonder when was the last time underneath them was disinfected and how often they remove the cover and wash it in the machine? Ick.
I doubt it but...(from urbandictionary.com):
1. Bumper: A 40 oz. bottle of malt liquor.
or,
2. Bumper: A small device for dispensing doses of cocaine or crank.
just a few possibilities :)
to answer "I'm in way..." i think "Gram Brina" is actually a reminder to get a MoneyGram for someone named "Brina" or perhaps Brianna misspelled?
Terrie you said "Somebody assumed the list writer was female, I was considering maybe the note write was male or a lesbian, what's wrong with that?"
What's wrong with that is that lesbians ARE female, not a third gender. All your stereotypes make you sound like a bigot.
all lesbians are female, but not all females are lesbians. I think Terrie made a perfectly okay statement to begin with. She said "butchy" not "lesbian." A female can be butchy without actually being a lesbian. when they're younger, they're called tomboys, but in adulthood that term doesn't really fit anymore. (and noo, not all tomboys grow up to be lesbians.) go sit down, take a nice deep breath, have a nice cup of tea, a shot of jaeger, a frothy beer- whatever's gonna make you relax and stop taking such offense at a simple statement on a pretty much anonymous freakin' comment board.
Re Long Nails/mini Drill
These two items are to be used together. The long nails - press on/glue on - are pierced at the tip with the mini drill. Embellishments are then hung from the nails using tiny rings or glued into the hole.
Scouts honor: I've never done this before.
Is it my imagination or does the writer of the list mispell an awful lot of product names that she apparently uses often ? Read the labels.
I'm also a little worried that long nails and a mini drill would warrant such association that they would earn a slash (long nails/mini drill ???)
I wonder why she had to also write the name of the store, unless someone else was going shopping for her, but still....
Now the best was WHITE BEATERS. Those creepy white tank top tees that White people (???LOL) beat their whites with ??? LOL ! What a crack up. Very funny find ! Love it.
(Thanks for the explanations above the post)
I find people in white beaters insanely attractive.
I think the person is planning to borrow money from Gramma (Gram), or if Granny's not in a giving mood, from sister Brina.
Also, isn't Axe a man's body spray?
I grew up with some tomboys and butchy girls. They wore tank tops and boxers and I'm pretty sure they wore men's fragrance too. I don't know if they were lesbians, I really don't care. Butchy girls and lesbians can be wives and mothers too.
Obviously, my calling masculine women "butchy" is somehow offensive, somehow even more offensive than calling the list "white trash". Somehow my calling my own imaginary butchy woman a lesbian is somehow offensive because there is no such thing as a butchy woman who is also a lesbian.
Oh, I'm a bigot who is perpetuating stereotypes? Really? Or are you having trouble seeing the world through your everybody-who-mentions-lesbians-is-homophobic-proje glasses? Did I say all butchy women are lesbians? Did I say lesbians are butchy women? Did I say butchy women are white trash walmart shoppers?
No. I said I think the person who wrote the list is a guy or a butchy woman then I decided to make her a lesbian, which is my prerogative. If she were buying lacy thongs, pantyhose, and White Shoulders, she's not a BUTCHY woman. But she still might be a lesbian.
That handwriting makes me have seizures. Relax! Slooowww it on down..... Take your time. Write like you know a thing or two.
Terrie.. you can't call anyone anything without offending someone. People should get off your high horses, all you guys in glass houses. Are you stereotyping Terrie as homophobic, because she chose to say someone is a lesbian?
My husband claims that he's a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
Terrie--around here the more girly lesbians are called Lipstick Lesbians.
Of course! The one time the spam protection question is easy, i have nothing to say!
I hate lists. I hate Walmart.
How can you criticize their handwriting? Yeah the spelling is pretty bad on some stuff but haven't you ever written a shopping list before? You assume you're the only one who will be reading it and you're not gonna worry about how neat it looks.
And the person who wrote this list wanted to remember to get a MoneyGram for Brina. Duh. And long nails in association with mini-drill must mean long nails as in the type you nail into a wall.
I automatically assumed it was a guy who wrote this list. But of course it could very well be a female...thats the fun of this site, we get to speculate and imagine the life of the authors. By the way, if you're constantly LOOKING for bigotry, you will find that you see a lot more of it, mostly imagined.
I love this find. I like how socks is underlined. Don't forget the socks, whatever you do. Also, how CapriSun qualifies as juice and who buys rags? don't rags just happen to worn out old face cloths of dish towels?
My impression is that the author is a lady buying things for her household and her husband. I can relate. If I didn't buy my husband some underwear now and again, well, the man would be going commando all the time. (which is not exactly a bad thing except that he tends to take his pants off as soon as he gets home from work. Don't want to traumatize the kids, you know)
Ahahahahahaha!!! *WHITE BEETERS*!!!!! I'm gonna' beet that white right outta' the beeters!!!
I adore this FIND!
lol @ don't spit in to the wind and Terrie-Is-So-Very...
I'm sorry if I came across as defencive, I was just offering another opinion for the items! I'm really surprised that so many people got angry... Full moon maybe?
A mini-drill (like a Dremel tool) can be used to shape artificial fingernails. Manicurists use something similar all the time. Finally, "white beeters" means buy some inexpensive underwear (boxers and T-shirts, socks) for the hubby to do wear underneath his work clothes. You don't want him to wear out or ruin his good underwear while doing dirty jobs around the house (plumbing, car repair, digging in the garden, etc.). It's "beaters," like buying a beater car to run short errands while saving the good car for road trips. And if she has teenagers at home, almost everything on the list makes sense.
What a dummy! It seems those white, sleeveless, "athletic tank top" undershirts like my grandfather wore are indeed now known as "wife beater t-shirts."

As long as I'm confessing my naïveté, and not having any idea what Kapri Suns were, I thought it said "lice" not "juice."
So I might as well let go of the fingernail explanation as well. Sigh.
Don't feel bad, I only learned the term "wife beater" a few years ago. When I was a kid, they were referred to as "Dago tees."
Chrome.. It was Ramona and what you said! That's what I was trying to remember! (the Dawnzer -- the kind of lamp that gives off Lee light.) Jose, can you see? came from something else, maybe not a kid's book. I think there was a similar thing in Little House on the Prairie, but I just can't remember what it was. See what happens when your kids grow up? You actually forget the details in all those kids' books you read aloud with them! I thought it would never happen!
