Uncle John's Chicken

Have you ever experienced a time where you open the ref for no apparent reason? You're not hungry or you just headed to the kitchen to grab a spoon, and you decided to open the fridge even if you already know that there's nothing to see but frozen meat and left overs. And you already know this, because you've been peeking into the same fridge numerous times in the day.

Well, I am a fan of that habit. I don't know why I do it. Maybe it's for the cold breeze of the fridge, or I am subconsciously wishing that I'll see something that I like.

I just do it out of habit, or instinct, perhaps.

And I happen to also do this habit with convenience stores. Not only the fridge on convenience stores but the store itself.

Almost every night (at an average of two or three times a week), I drop by a MiniStop or a 7-11 store even if I am not hungry and I do not have anything to buy.

I just walk in there, check the chicken, the hotdog, the Siopao, look around, look at the chips and alcohol, then leave.



Heck, I bet that if there's a new employee on that store, they'd think that I am the manager or a store checker because I do rounds at least twice before I leave the store with no purchases made.


I just feel a certain satisfaction by doing this. It is as if I can sleep soundly at night without the day's burden on me.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

I'm the same, especially during the time when I was still working in Makati The difference between you and me is I usually found myself eating after inspecting our ref. :(

Can we trade refrigerators for a day? I'd like to see what's in there. Please?
