A man approaching a bakery truck. He muses: I think I'll just stop and get a donut.
His partner laughs: Didn't you just have breakfast?
He nods: Yeah, but first breakfast is just practice. This is SECOND breakfast.
A woman (70s?) in a bright yellow T-shirt at a stand selling mushroom grow bags.
She says to her friend with a wicked grin: I asked about getting one of those and they said the mushrooms grow out of any hole.
Her friend snorts: Any hole eh?
She nods: Any hole.
They burst into booming filthy cackles.
A small human (3?) meeting another small human (4?) in a line for waffles. An instant friendship is struck when one says, "You can't catch me." A game of chasey ensues. They hug each other goodbye when their parents take them in separate directions.
A man in green Doc Martens ordering coffee. When asked where he'll be sitting he looks out the window: You know, I think I'm going to scootle outside.
The barista laughs: What's a scootle?
The man grins: A cute scoot.
They share a smile.
A woman (20s?) in a vivid pink T-shirt walk-dancing through the markets as she listens to whatever is playing in her headphones. People smile as she passes. As she gets to the end of a row of stalls she does a twirl and keeps going.

He'd just finished paying for his groceries when the machine started saying "Please take your items" every 15 seconds or so. At first he just says "I'll do it in my own time thank you," while bagging things up.
The machine keeps telling him to take his items. After around the 5th time, he starts really arguing back:
"I don't have to do what you tell me to do."
"I'll take as long as I need thank you."
"I'll thank you to stop harassing me."
On around the seventh or eighth request that he take his items, he stands back, crosses his arms and says loudly snaps, "No! Not until you be quiet!"
The machine keeps going. The man just stands there, crossed arms, chin stuck out. A standoff is on. Staff come over and ask if they can help and he tells them that if they switch the voice off, he will continue bagging his things and go. If they don't, he's retired and can wait all day.
Machine is turned off/down with sympathy from supermarket staff. Moments later the man leaves the supermarket with the air of someone who's just won a war, expression completely stoic.
