Happens to me too. People get suspicious when you buy 15 gallons of bleach.
Re: 2 great bleach stories
That's pretty funny. I've never gotten any looks or questions when buying bleach but someone did say something about the ten pounds of baking soda I was once buying. I told her I was making a giant volcano for the science fair.

Use caution. Dept of Homeland Security may receive a tip about some psycho lunatic buy up all the bleach in the area. All you need is one psycho cashier, not like there are any of those. After you are interviewed all of the gov't pools will be using bleach and the price will jump up to 5.00/gal since supply will be lower than demand.:eek:

I was at the supermarket and had 32 gallons of bleach in the wagon. Cashier asked what the #$%# are you going to do with all that bleach? Told her that it makes a great shake with just a little chocolate syrup.
Re: 2 great bleach stories
Yesterday I picked up 5 big jugs at walmart. I had just gotten off work and still had my public lab coat on. The girl looked at me got a weird look on her face and kinda shook when she handed me the ticket. I ask if she was ok and she mumbles "yes" but wouldnt look me in the face. Well I get to the truck, ready to leave, glance in the mirror, and relise I had the window down on the way to Walmart so I have that Jack Nicholson look. Get home inspect the lab coat to see if I can get another day and on the front is a 2 or 3 inch splot of grams iodine at the bottom. This stuff is kinda a reddish brown when dry. Kinda expected the law to show and haul me away. Bet I get quick service next time I get in her line as well.:D

I buy my bleach at Sam's, where it comes 3 jugs to a case, each jug is 1.42 gallons. In the midst of battling my algae bloom, I bought about seven cases. The cashier was nonchalant enough; however, when I reached the exit, the lady checking my receipt says, "I don't even want to know..."
I told her I was trying to dissolve a body. ;)
Re: 2 great bleach stories
I had been looking in my walmart for some Muratic Acid and some Borax to keep on hand, and when I asked the guy who worked there for them he gave me an odd look, and told me he would have to check to see if they carried them. Well off he went, so I continued to look around in the area. A little while later he came back and told me that they did not carry either of them, he said that they could be used for making bombs or something and and was looking at me sort of funnylike. I got a kick out of it, and thanked him and told him I would look at hardware stores.
Is that it? Are we all maniacs? Everyone seems to think so. I still want to go and buy thirty gallons of bleach at once though. :)
