At the grocery store, I saw a young man helping run errands for the clerks, putting things back on the shelf, rounding up buggies and whatnot. As I watched him, he was replacing a styrofoam container of Thai noodles to a shelf, but was holding it aloft, over his head as he shuffled down the aisle. Presently, he lowered it to his nose and inhaled deeply. Now, clearly, he was mentally challenged, so I dismissed his behavior as out of the ordinary, but understandable.
Not long after this, I saw him grab some coupons from the register's printer and sniff them before handing them over to the cashier, taking great pleasure in doing so. Doubtless, his behavior is odd, but it just made me wonder if maybe I just don't smell things nearly enough.
