I bought a frozen meal on the way home from a meeting yesterday. It was an Italian meal, fettuccini chicken alfredo. On the label it clearly stated that the meal would be ready in ten minutes. I looked the cashier in the eye and asked what seemed to me like a reasonable question. It went something like this:

"I see on the label that this meal will be ready in 10 minutes. I won't be home for 20 minutes, what should I do?"

The cashier just stared at me. She didn't say anything, she just stared.

It seemed like a reasonable question to me.
