I’m pretty sure this was a contributing factor in my parents divorce.

Run amok or not, I don’t understand how it got so sideways on that narrow bridge.
That was how I read it at first too, but she at least implies that she is his “quirky girlfriend” depending on how you interpret it.
She says “hugged by his quirky girlfriend” which suggests they might be, or at least that’s how she sees the relationship. Could be clearer.

Probably just different grocery stores with different patterns and workflows.
My experience is a normal checkout line is usually a reasonable wait so unless someone bought three carts of groceries they’ll get through before too long.
In contrast the self checkout is a clusterfuck of idiots who don’t know how to use it, people not sure where to stand while they wait because there aren’t really lines, and 1 frazzled attendant trying to cover 6-8 people simultaneously screwing up their self-checkout.
I fucking hate going to the grocery store though.
On this we agree!
Not only do I not work here, I wish to spend as little time here as possible.
So I’ll hand the scanning and bagging task to someone who has been doing it every day for years and can get that done quickly, in the lane where they provide enough table space to actually work, two people to do the two jobs of scanning and bagging… and all that without the extra steps of weighing every individual item, stopping for assistance if you look at it funny, and stopping to upsell you on the fucking loyalty program.
Grocery pickup > normal checkout > self checkout.
I love filter views, no real complaints there except that other people can’t manage to figure out the difference between filtering the whole sheet and setting up a filter view.
Tables seem kind of pointless but better than a separate database app I guess?
Not sure about “little pills”, do you mean the drop downs? That’s in validation, and it’s a little odd but better both in interface and function than Excel. There’s really only one version and two ways to do it: “data validation” and “insert drop-down” (the latter is just a shortcut to the former, but with relevant options selected). Checkboxes are the same (both live in the insert menu).
I’ve never known the “paste style” menu, I mostly use keyboard shortcuts when pasting. I might be misunderstanding what you’re describing there.
Some of it is just familiarity but I found Google sheets to be a breath of fresh air and still find Excel just painful.
Although Google has really gotten pretty cluttered lately as they add features and slap them in whatever menu they pick at random.
Similar but with an interface that refuses to do anything new for 20 years.

You mostly nailed it but this one would be “red ruby shoes”

Not as much as they do on physical keyboards with their “hold alt-gr and hope” approach.
