I had a friend, now deceased, who was legally, but not totally, blind.
If you wanted to experience wild[1] range from him, you could rearrange
anything, even at an event that wasn't at his home, and even when your
intentions were good.

He was part of a group of people who met for lunch at a buffet. The
people who ran it would occasionally change the locations of some of the
items. He wasn't happy. Usually one or another of us accompanied him in
the line, so it mostly worked out OK.

[1] I started, not intentionally, to say blind rage, but when I woke up,
I decided that mentioning it this footnote was more than enough...


Sounds like me when they rearrange the grocery store, which they do
constantly. Funny, we are using Windows 8 which they also rearranged
everything too. :-(

It *is* pretty weird to go over to the cereal counter and find that
you're looking at dish detergent.

That's also true in the grocery store :-)

The above is my slightly warped attempt at humor, for which I probably
should - but won't - apologize.

Supermarkets do it regularly here, too, to force you to visit every
aisle and hope you'll impulse buy. I already have too many impulses.

Same here, but not in grocery stores :-)
