Hello

My girlfriend says that I am a geek, so I did a search for a geek forum, and here I am :)

She says it to me all the time.

Of course I feel it quite unreasonable.  :-D

When I, for example, goes to the shop to buy groceries, I always make a map on a sheet of paper where I group the groceries based on where they are placed in the shop. Thereafter I perform a simplified "shortest route" calculation between the nodes to save me time. If I go alone, I do of course also try to keep track of the time, to see how fast I acutally am able to complete the route.

Nothing geeky with that  :-D Just making boring shopping more fun.....

Welcome, new person. Hope you enjoy your stay!

Does going to the store hungry ever mess up your plan?

I have a pre-made shopping list that I print out.   I just check off what I need on the list when I run out of it.  It's organized by row of my local Kroger.   That way I always know exactly what I need from an aisle before I even get to it.

Welcome.

I don't believe your girlfriend has said anything like that to me at all.

Welcome.

If only you could apply your shopping abilities to world domination.
You'd have the globe in your control faster than you could say, 'Clean up in aisle three'.
