'If he's holding a list in the grocery store, you know he's married'


Looks like I'd better stop doing that when I go and get groceries (I'm single).

It's unlikely to be true as well. It's more likely that the guy is holding a list written by his wife, since he rarely does the shopping or the cooking or can't be trusted to get it right! A person's relationship status is more discernible from the contents and amount of goods in his or her trolley/ basket.

Yeah, I misquoted the movie actually. I obviously wasn't paying attention to what I typed so here's what it was supposed to say "If he's holding a list in the grocery store, he's single"

My point was, I'm single but I'm also a list person, I have to have lists, and I make lists for when I get groceries. But according to this movie, women may think I'm married. I guess I better be more "discreet" about that, huh? Perhaps I can use my phone so then people will jsut think I'm looking at my phone, and not at a list?

Of course I'm not actually going to let this movie influence me and I'm being sarcastic. However it is irritating because I'm sure you can bet that some girls or guys that watch this movie are going to take that to heart upon hearing that drivel.

I'm with you on all that. I must confess to having a soft spot for this movie, though. Partly because I like Cusack as an actor and I'm of an age to find the mature Ms. Lane very attractive. The unrealistic thing was that such an attractive single woman would stay so single for so long.

Yeah I do like this movie, a lot. I've always been rather fond of Diane Lane for several reasons.

Just like most things, that is a stereotype. Doesn't apply to everyone, but is oftentimes true. Nothing wrong with having a list when you go to the grocery store.
I like to determine things about men based on the type of dog they have. The best types of guys imo have German shepards
