Loud

The supermarket was very busy with people piling up at the checkouts.

At the back of one of the long lines of shoppers a woman was on her phone. Much to the irritation of many of those around her she was talking very loudly. She was rabbiting on about what she was doing to help save the planet. As she went on it was obvious that people were becoming more and more uncomfortable.

She was saying, “Oh! Yes, my dear, we are very careful about our recycling habits. Quite naturally we voted Green. My husband cycles to work you know and we are both vegan. We always make sure that our purchases have environmental benefits and it goes without saying that we avoid plastic at all costs. We have done our best to green our home as much as possible, you know, and I can assure you we are constantly water wise. We always boycott any of those nasty products that endanger wildlife. Of course, we are very conscious about our carbon footprint, it was for that reason that we chose to have a small family.

She was forced to stop when she had to pay for her purchases. A great sigh of relief and several audible murmurs ran through the crowd. Not that she noticed. She grabbed her bags and left the checkout area, making for the far exit.

When she was well and truly gone, the store’s music stopped, the speakers crackled and a voice came over saying: “On behalf of the supermarket we would like to thank the woman now leaving the store for the admirable contributions she has made with regards to the future of the planet. Thank you.”
