Earlier this week, I went to a Baja Fresh. I was doing SQUID over at GWU, (yay acronyms!) so I was going to be there a while. It was 11:30am or so, and decided to just eat half my burrito then, and save the rest for later, since there's unlimited chips and salsa. This way I'd save money by not having to buy dinner.
With the title of this post, and me waiting until dinner, I'm sure you can put together the rest of this story, but I'll keep going. 4:30pm rolls around, and I'm hungry, since I had a light, early lunch.
"Mmm... delicious burrito."
(about an hour later...)
You should keep in mind that I haven't had a stomach ache in literally years. I have a pretty strong stomach, so I wasn't used to this. I was confused as to what was going on, this pain didn't make sense at first. Eventually I put it together that I had a stomach ache, and suddenly it dawned on me that I'm an idiot. Yes, there was sour cream and cheese in the burrito.
I writhed in pain for a while, not knowing what to do. Again, I hadn't done this for a while. Over an hour later it occured to me that they probably make stuff for this situation, and about 15 minutes later I remembered about Pepto-Bismol. So I slowed walked over to CVS, hunched over and bought some. It's cruel to put your phamacy on the 2nd floor by the way.
Ended up taking a cab from the metro since there is no way I wanted to walk 3 miles, and definitely couldn't bike. Took the next day off, and I feel fine now, but just as dumb.

Half a burrito
Not worth saving the money
Lack of common sense
Godspeed.
