Friday Rant – The Snorting Monsters

2 August 2013 By Alan Straton

Picture the following: I am standing in front of the deli at my local supermarket and a pleasant looking fellow stands next to me also contemplating what gastronomic delight he shall be taking home and lovingly unwrapping for lunch.

All is at peace in the world as we both gaze at the tempting delights on offer.

And then the peace is shattered as he, without warning, snorts through his nostrils right next to my ear.

My shattered nerves scream in revulsion as the snorting contains enough aural detail that I can imagine all forms of slimy stuff making it’s way through the orifices of my now FORMER could be new friend!

BUT, this time I have come prepared and I snort back with even louder vigour and volume.

Take that you snorting monster.

Alan – 0, Supermarket – 0, Snorting Monster – 0.

Please think before you snort, spit, dig in or clear your nostrils in public.

Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Broom Mechanic at MyPE
Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
