Can you explain it?

We're going to tell you a story. You're never going to believe it, but we swear this really happened. Honestly.

Today a woman walked into Tartarus carrying a large plastic shopping bag. It held a television. Not one of those little, battery operated, black and white sets the size of a lunch box. No, we're talking modern, midsized flat screen.

Imagine carrying this around

To our credit, no one asked her what she thought she was doing. 
We might have stared a little. 
Okay, a lot. 
Okay, everyone at the desk was staring at her like she had twelve heads. But honestly, what would you have been doing?


She acted like this was nothing out of the ordinary. She walked that t.v. right up to the desk. "Excuse me, is there somewhere I can plug this in?"

This was all the response we could manage

"I just need to plug it in really quickly," she said. "There's a disc still in it that I need to return."

Major kudos to the Zebra who got the awkward job of dealing with her. Instead of calling her an idiot (as we were inclined to do) he just pointed her to the nearest outlet. She retrieved the disc and was on her way. 

 

What just happened here?

So our question is this: why didn't she just take the disc out wherever she had the tv in the first place. We can think of no situation in which it would be easier to take the tv with you somewhere instead of just the disc. She apparently didn't have the case at home but even so, there has to be some easier way to protect the disc than carrying a wide screen television set all over town. 

Can anyone explain this to us? If you can provide some halfway rational explanation to this situation we'll let you pick the beast we add to our next altered magazine page here on Falling Down the Death Stare.
