    notice it there...I never look at other people that closely anyhow when I'm out shopping...I kinda just keep my eye on the prize so to speak...not looking around at other peoples' purses that's for sure. So I'm looking at the scent pods, smelling some, staying in my lane,

    person. Then I just quickly walked out of the store, eyes forward so I wouldn't have to see this woman again haha. This happened a few weeks ago but I just found this subreddit today and it reminded me of it. I still can't believe people like that!
