View Full Version : Why does the bagger at my grocery store wear a helmet?
Janice 03-13-2005, 12:50 AM I'm serious. He wears a helmet all the time. He looks like he's in his 30s, is of slight build which makes him look like a jockey. Not to sound mean, but he doesn't seem like he's 100% either. He never works the register....just bags groceries.
I'm thinking that perhaps he has seizures, so it's for his protection. Any other possibilities?
Janice 03-13-2005, 12:55 AM Does he ever deliver groceries?
I don't know that. The store does have a delivery service, but they deliver by vans.
Chad22 03-13-2005, 12:57 AM He Obviously rides the shopping carts after store hours and needs protection From Injury. Thats what I'd do.
Brent88 03-13-2005, 01:02 AM He Obviously rides the shopping carts after store hours and needs protection From Injury. Thats what I'd do.
:rotflmao: :lol:

Only you. :lol:
Georgia's on my Mind 03-13-2005, 01:07 AM he might have a mental illness
Janice 03-13-2005, 01:09 AM he might have a mental illness
You mean, like he has a fixation with wearing a helmet? I never thought of that.
Georgia's on my Mind 03-13-2005, 01:12 AM You mean, like he has a fixation with wearing a helmet? I never thought of that.
No, he could be like skitzo and think one of his personalities is a professional bike rider...or have an unnatural fear of earthquakes...who knows.
AllIWantIsYourClutch 03-13-2005, 01:37 AM Yeah I'd say he has seizures.
Sterling Holobyte 03-13-2005, 01:53 AM Maybe he doesn't bag the groceries very well and the helmet is protection from dissatisfied old ladies who wack him on the head with frozen French bread.
...Just throwing that out there. ;)
Superstar 03-13-2005, 04:01 AM He Obviously rides the shopping carts after store hours and needs protection From Injury. Thats what I'd do.
:rofl:
Warm & Fuzzy 03-13-2005, 04:14 AM Maybe it's his lucky hat. I'm serious, btw. :)
MsOrange 03-13-2005, 08:45 AM he might just think he looks coool
Pitooey 03-13-2005, 10:16 AM He got hit in the head when he got robbed in the store and he doesn't want it to happen again.
x3 Taylor x3 03-13-2005, 11:52 AM He Obviously rides the shopping carts after store hours and needs protection From Injury. Thats what I'd do.
Lmao, that's what I do. I don't wear a helmet though. \m/
Janice 03-13-2005, 12:23 PM My husband is bad. He'll call him Lance Armstrong. Not to his face of course, but while we're walking to our car, he'll say, "I'm glad Lance did the bagging today".
Another time, it's "I wonder if super jockey's got an inside tip on this year's Kentucky Derby".
Yeah, I said he's bad. :crazy:
Dutabi84 03-13-2005, 12:57 PM I remember when I was in Disney World, I saw a group of what seemed to be mentally challenged people, and one of them was walking around with a really old school football helmet. I'm guessing it was because he didn't always have control over what he did, and needed the protection for it.

Your husband is a twisted man.
Can I buy some jokes from him?
;)
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 03-13-2005, 01:33 PM Maybe he's mentally incapable.
Hollow 03-13-2005, 05:14 PM I'm thinking that perhaps he has seizures, so it's for his protection. Any other possibilities?
ohh probably. this thread reminded me of some mentally handicapped kid at my school who always wears a helmet and i know he has seizures, so it makes sense.
Hollow 03-13-2005, 05:32 PM Hi Sarah. Where have you been? The boards have been so dull. :)
i fell and i couldn't get up.

That isn't politically correct.
Janice 03-13-2005, 05:47 PM That isn't politically correct.
My husband doesn't have to be politically correct in his conversations with me.
barwars 03-13-2005, 05:57 PM He probably suffers from narcolepsy.
Making fun of him is not only politically incorrect, but just mean.
Unless of course he's just an idiot who thinks he's funny for wearing a helmet.
Then you should just run him over with your shopping cart.

Well my husband is not a mean person. He just figures the guy likes to wear a helmet.

He should, it would make your marriage a lot more stable in theory.
Janice 03-13-2005, 06:05 PM He should, it would make your marriage a lot more stable.
My marriage is happy and strong and not up for discussion here.

since when were ewe a marriage counselor?
Georgia's on my Mind 03-13-2005, 06:06 PM My marriage is happy and strong and not up for discussion here.
It also applies in general terms.

I'm currently working on a degree in psychology to work in the field...so I am able to comment about said issues. When did you become the question-asker of the century?
Janice 03-13-2005, 06:07 PM It also applies in general terms.
I have the best marriage of anyone I know. Leave it at that.

LOL, who is that?

The relativity of your marriage in comparison to the marriages of those you know really is not the correct view to assess the relationship.
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 03-13-2005, 06:10 PM LOL, who is that?
I don't know. I just hope he's just ******** because then I'll feel bad.

So.
Georgia's on my Mind 03-13-2005, 06:13 PM So.
Therefore your two cents was not needed nor appreciated.

Get off the topic of my marriage. It's not open for discussion. If you were needling another member about their marriage and they reported you, I'd tell you as a moderator to stop it.
So as moderator, I'm instructing you to stop the nonsense jabs about my marriage.
Georgia's on my Mind 03-13-2005, 06:14 PM dr. chris is speaking with his client, don't interrupt.
Your attempt at sarcasm is laughable. But I do in fact to become a MD so you do have truth to your comment.

But I'm his secretary and he has a phone call.

I'm not commenting on your marriage. I'm talking about the institution of marriage in general and the objective view you must have within it.

I'm not budding into Jan's business...I simply was stating a few facts regarding marriage and one's place within one. My help actually is needed for this world to function correctly and I plan to save the world from it's current misfortune so you are welcome.

You obviously have no better thoughts, so you are reduced to use a paralleled statement to my previous remark.

No, I had a wacko Dr. once. He tried to shove a thin, metal stick into my arm. I never went to that son of a bitch again.

Because they are trying to make everyone in the class comfortable that they are not lesser than others. Although, that is a lie. They just try to eliminate social structure in schools which is utterly useless.

Rebel Queen 1980 03-13-2005, 10:02 PM When I was little a girl in my class had to wear a special helmet all of the
time,I think it because she had very poor motor coordination and couldn't
control her balance. Maybe that's the same thing wrong with him
or could be something else. I don't really know :(
dawsongirl 03-13-2005, 11:41 PM well... i have a problem right now and need advice.

OMG! The same thing happened to my chewing gum when I left it on the bedpost overnight. I fell apart.

What a quack. Was his name Dr. Nick?
MandieR1980 03-13-2005, 11:45 PM I saw a show about a guy who had part of his skull removed and had to wear a helmet to protect his head and brain. I think it might have been a movie.
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 03-13-2005, 11:48 PM What a quack. Was his name Dr. Nick?
Yeah.
Caroline13 02-11-2024, 04:31 PM Well, I never saw this at my markets, could be the bagger wore a helmut getting to work on bike or motorcycle and had no place to store it and so wore it....very possible.....
Bonniegirl 02-11-2024, 05:38 PM Most likely a medical condition like the original poster thought . Seizures? Nice that the grocery store hires handicapped individuals . :)
I'm nosy , I probably would politely just ask the manager at the service desk , the guy with the helmet out of earshot !;)
