I don't go to Walmart. I have not been to Walmart in probably three years. Today I needed some dog food and other silly things like those whatzits to hang a shower curtain with and 4 placemats. You get the picture.
I was getting dog food when I heard a wife asking the clerk if what she had in her hand was the right thing to kill pond algae. The clerk did not know. Hubby who was standing there told the clerk that it was not the right thing and his stupid wife didn't know anything anyway. Everybody knows it takes a filter to move water to get rid of algae. Here's where I made my mistake. I had on my pondlady shirt, so turned and said, "Filters do not move water, pumps do and a pump will not kill algae."
He says, "You don't know what you are talking about and I don't believe you."
Me: "I build ponds, but I see I don't need to waste my time giving you free advice because you know everything."
Him: "I do know everything and I don't need some silly woman telling me anything."
Here I did the only smart thing I did all day. I put the dog food in the cart and walked away.
And that's why I don't go to Walmart.
