God damn grocery store...

[destinie21]

I haven't ranted in a while and I thought hey maybe I'm over the whole ranting thing. After a trip to the local grocery store I see that I was horribly mistaken. Someone almost met bodily harm tonight, maybe it's just me.


maybe people should go dazedly amidst the noise and haste- and remember to make sure that they leave their grocery cart right at the narrowest spot in the aisle so that it blocks the way for everyone else. Also, if there is a cart parked on one side of the aisle, then of fucking course they should park on the other side, thwarting anyone who wants to pass, or turn it so it's perpendicular to the aisle, completely blocking the way.


Other people? Who are they? That's not your concern. If you want to stop and have a long, animated conversation with a friend, it's not your problem if people can't get past you. Oh, and by all means, blab on your cell phone while navigating your cart. Not only are you not paying attention to where you're going, you're also forcing the rest of us to hear your inane conversations. Why bother to wait until you get home to make that phone call? And if someone is attempting to reach an object, that's the time to stand right in front of it while you blab away.

after all there's no earthly reason why you have to move any faster than a Galapagos tortoise, especially when someone is trying to get at an item on the shelf and you're standing in front of it. And no need to look behind you! Just stop suddenly and back up! You have all the time in the world- so what if the woman behind you just saw her bus leave the stop?



and of course if you have kids, remember that the entire world revolves around you and them. And don't worry- everyone will find his or her antics to be adorable! For example, make sure that you let your small child push a heavy, overloaded grocery cart around, Don't worry if the little angel rams into other shoppers or knocks objects off the shelves- it's cute! And while everyone else's children need discipline yours don't- so treat the store as if it were your home and let them run around, screaming and unsupervised. And those huge kiddy wagons aren't an inconvenience at all, by all means park them any damn where you want. And remember, the best time of day to bring your entire brood of children is when it busy cuz everyone loves their sceaming fuckery






Okay I'm done ranting probably.

Don't worry, honey. Trolly (cart) rage gets me, too. My eyes are blazing red when I go round a supermarket.

Sounds like you need a shag, love.

Lou - feeling naughty.

You forgot the best of all, the woman who gets in line and dcides to write a check, but can't remeber her own friggin name, much less the date, name of the sotre, where her driver's liscene is or manage to fill one out without screwing something up so bad she has to wrtie another instead.

try being in the under 16 items isle with the person infront of you having one item, leaving to get another, another, another, another, another, another . . .

I actually kicked his cart out into the aisle, and when he came back, he said I was here first. I stated, "Buddy your prescence wan't viewable. Go to the back of the line."

He said, "what are you on your period?"

After that . . . .well . . . lets just say he went to the back of the line GRRR

Ok, so it's not just me.

I get in so much trouble at the grocery store. Almost every time I go there I get into a squabble with someone. Fortunately, I'm more mature and I don't just kick their asses anymore.

lol you made me think of something that didn't happen tonight
but in the past I've been behind that person who waits until the last minute to get his/her cash or debit card out That's also a good time to decide to get into an argument with the cashier about the price of something, forcing her to get out the circular while everyone else waits for you. Insist she go over every single item on the receipt. Let's face it-twelve cents is twelve cents! And of course, being rude, abusive and insulting to the teenage cashier will most certainly obtain the best results.

I've also been behind the person who no matter how many times in their life they have been shopping, once they get in line they have to instantly forget how to do it as soon asthey enter the grocery store. For instance, don't bother to wait until the person in front of you is finished with THEIR load before you start dumping yours onto the conveyor belt. And remember, butting your cart into someone else's backside will make the line go faster. And it certainly won't earn you a bitch slap

Lets not forget the cashier who stares at a cupon as if it were an artifact from Roswell. Then goes searching through your bags to make sure you actually got a box of ding dongs and not Devil cakes while 20 people sit behind you and stare at you like it's your fault.

Just yesterday I was in the grocery store and a woman had a DOG in her arms. Of course, she thought it was just the cutest thing and was showing it off to everyone and my only thought was, "I wonder how many apples, oranges and cumquats she squeezed before deciding which piece of fruit to take home." And, were any of those things in my cart as I checked out?

I didn't think pets were allowed in the grocery unless they were assisting the blind or disabled, but apparently I was wrong. At any rate, I was a little repulsed by the thought of an animal in the place where I purchase my food.

As far as screaming fuckery...the grocery is definitely not the place for that!

And don't forget that the same person doesn't bother to even get out her checkbook until all her items have gone through. Do they think that if they fill out some of the check ahead of time that someone is going to run past and steal it right there? Oh, and then they always seem to forget that they need their license until the cashier asks for it. Must be the first time they've ever written a check.
The new self-checkouts are even better. Apparently only people who have never seen any kind of technology whatsoever go to these. Is it that hard to figure out? Push the button moron! The fucking machine is talking to you, telling you EXACTLY what to do! And, dickhead, the machine just told you where your change is, quick looking for it at the opposite side of the scanner! Dipshit!

People are strange. Two years ago (my son was three) we were at the grocery store after church choir, for God's sake, when this bitchy old woman started shaking her finger at my son. (He was sitting in the front part of the cart and I'd gone around the other side to get produce.)

I jump down her throat demanding to know her problem. She says that my son flipped her off. (My son at three could not make the OK symbol - LOL - I'm thinking, he flipped you off???)

I'm saying, "He is three. He doesn't even know what that is."

And she snarls, "And I know where he learned it, too."

I was so shocked I couldn't even argue with this moron (and of course, I realize it wouldn't have made any difference) but I wanted to belt her upside her stupid fucking head.

BUT - my children were with me. It wouldn't have been the thing to do.

I did tell the woman to stay far away from my children because she had serious issues. And I instructed my children (loudly, so she could hear) to ignore the poor old lady because she was obviously sick. I told them to feel sorry for her because she was so sad she just hated everybody.

BUT - I wanted to drop her with one serious punch.

I mean, hey! She was old! I could have easily taken her!

I almost had to wrestle a woman to the ground for the last container of Ben & jerry's new york super fudge ice cream.
It was well worth it too

Whenever that line is used, I find it appropriate to point out that most of the murders committed by women have been done under the influence of PMS - so back off, buddy!!!
