I was in a Trader Joe’s in Darien Connecticut this morning picking up a few items for lunch — minding my own business and not talking to anyone — when an old man stopped me and said,<\/p>\n

\n

“I got the word (nodding towards his wife), help with the groceries or I won’t get any beer!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Very confused, I responded with some probably very sub-par retort and kept shopping.<\/p>\n

Now bear in mind, this Trader Joe’s was quite small and didn’t sell any beer or wine (so he couldn’t have been buying anything on site, and I certainly wasn’t), I wasn’t wearing anything with any beer logos on it (in fact, I was in a shirt & tie) – really there was absolutely nothing that would make him think that I would be capable of commiserating with him.<\/p>\n

\"Beer<\/p>\n

So what made him seek me out for a sympathy vote? Could it be that true beer lovers can just sense<\/em> other beer lovers?<\/p>\n
