I pass the time by putting random things in laden trolleys, or swapping the contents of Blonde and Brunette hair dyes, or the best I ever did, was to go to the check out with a crate of beer and some nappies (diapers for our US friends) and when presented with the bill, complain I didn't have enough and put the nappies back.
Seriously, do it in a shop full of women and see the looks you get!
One I haven't done yet is to go into a changing cubicle, then after a few minutes yell out saying there was no toilet paper!

Putting things back is always good too.
You know those people who leave a trolley in the aisle, and wander off to find something? Take the trolley, and put all the stuff back... See how long it takes them to work out their shopping really has vanished...

Once when I and my ex-girlfriend where shopping she mentioned that we needed to buy toilet paper, I sighed and said loudly "-Oh for heavens sake, haven't I told you that you really should try to sh*t at work?". One girlfriend with the color of a tomato on her face and a lot of heads swiveling around to see who said it...
After about a week she tought it was funny, but not that day.

Now, I'm trying to recall what trolling have I done in the supermarket.

OK, I bought bananas and scratched some patterns, but the scratches started turning brown immediately.

Clearly, you got defective fruit.

My First Search Of The Day was "symptoms of appendicitis" 
The pain I am feeling does not appear to be appendicitis since it is on the other side of my lower abdomen. It could be a hernia, but nothing is sticking out. Oh well, maybe it will hurt more tomorrow so it will be easier to figure out what it is. 
What was your first search of the day?

"A reason to get up", followed by "glasses", the usual.

Hmmm, very valid indeed. I was thinking Internet searches, but my bad for not being specific

How about: "The sun is up, and time to relish a new day!"
Works for me. (Plus, I have a low boredom threshold and can't just lie there doing nothing for long...and I'll wriggle and wake Herself, then my nice peaceful day full of the sound of birdsong has been replaced by the sound of someone shouting corrections at the the BBC news... )

And if you see your cat or a mouse come flying through the room do not try to find the coffee. That's impossible. Instead only realize the truth... There is no coffee.

Flying mice happen round here naturally.
We have pipistrelles[^] which do the job all on their own, and the conventional variety which get assistance from Dij.
It can be quite a surprise to have a mouse fly past your face when you aren't expecting it...
But in this house: there is always coffee. Including the backup coffee, the emergency backup backup beans, and the "oh god I'm desperate" absolute emergency instant cr@p-in-a-jar. So far the mere existence of the last one has prevented me needing to use it!

System.Windows.Size, because unlike System.Drawing.Size, this struct (used more in WPF it seems) doesn't have operators like Subtract.
WPF is like a prostitute. All glittery and curvy and great to look at, but then you realize...

We're serving roast beaver at the office today, and taking turns at swinging a bat at a harp seal pinata!

I think you pretty well covered all the bases there Roger... oh except maybe for a mention of Anne Murray?
Too freakin funny.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
