Only weirdos ride transit: Is that a pickle in your pill bottle?!

"Wtf is this pickle in a pill bottle rating," you may have asked. Here's the story:

Date:
Last year sometime, at the end of the day
Transit line: #99 traveling east from UBC
Description of weirdo: Woman
Weirdo behaviour: I was seated across from the weirdo at the front of the B-Line bus. It was a full bus, but not quite a sardine-packed can, unlike most busrides during the school year. I noticed the woman was removing a pill bottle from her bag or purse. I thought that she would remove a pill from the bottle and swallow it; however, instead she brought the bottle up to her mouth and tipped the contents to her mouth. She had bitten down on what the bottle held, and it was there for me to see. I didn't recognize it immediately, but then it became clear - it was a pickle. It was small, like a gerkin or something, but it was a pickle. She had packed a pickle in a pill bottle!
Conclusion: The weirdo has created a pickle guard! From a pill bottle! It protects her pickles from being damaged in transit, makes pickle-carrying easy, and avoids vinegar/brine-staining your bag.

Nothing will ever
be weirder on transit than a pickle in a pill bottle... or will it?
