I'll Just Dash in and Dash Out
I heard this expression a lot growing up. My mom used to use it when she wanted justify stopping at a store on the way home from a destination trip (e.g., visiting my grandparents, cello lessons).
The store was usually a grocery. The time needed for the dash in, find product, buy and dash out was always longer than estimated (I'll be out in two minutes, you'll see).
I was reminded of this today. I went to one store and they didn't have an item Ann had put on my list. I called her up and she had two other items to get and the check out lines were very lone (because a snowstorm was expected the next day).
