Grocery store pet peeves

I'm going to parlay my last post from the "don't you hate it when...." thread about oblivious bitches in the grocery stores who leave their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle while perusing the shelves, and you can't get by.... into it's own "grocery store pet peeve" thread.
There's the one I just listed, where most of the time I stand there and stare until they notice they're blocking people from passing (once or twice I've had to physically move their cart for them to snap out of it).... and a couple others I can think of are
1) Annoying picky people at the deli counter who bitch about their meat being sliced a fraction of an electron too thick or thin.
2) People who go into the 10 items or less line with an entire shopping cart when you are behind them with 10 items or less.
What else you got, c0r? |

| People who don't have the good sense to estimate the total amount of their purchase, and just preempt the register process with the words "we'll see how much all this is, and then I'll take some out," which is generally followed by several minutes on intense contemplation regarding which items are more important. |

1. when im taking a product, say two of them because i really like it & i use it a lot & some stupid fat ass lady is behind me watching me & comes up all up in my space & takes one and looks at it & doesn't even know wtf it is & throws it in her cart.
lol i know i SHOULDNT give a damn but ugh it just urkes me how people act..
2. people with screaming kids & they act like everything is fine..

If it's really jammed (the parking-lot), I order whomever it might be riding shotgun to get off and move eeeeet. |

:stongue: that situation has almost become a cliche, it happens so often. Or, a tiny little smart car or motorcycle will be in there.
Edit: Yukii... good call on "coupon lady". How did I miss that one? |

The regular isle blockers don't normally bother me, I just say "Excuse me" and 99% of the time they say "Ooops, sorry" and move their . That other 1% of the time though...
I had one lady that wouldn't move when I asked to get through. She told me to wait, she was looking for something :wtf: I just raised my voice a bit and said "move!" and she got all flustered and got out of the way. I made sure to give her a cheery "thanks!" on my way through.
The other type of isle blocker (the worse kind, IMO) is the 'double-pram-loser'. right off with them. I asked to get past one, and she looked at me incredulously, and said "but I have kids here". I promptly told her that I didn't give a , and to get the hell out of the way. No cheery "thanks" for those cunts.
God I hate people :wtf: |

You mean the ones who don't bother asking if the others would like to go ahead, or refuse to let them once they ask? |

I was talking about the former, but really both are cunts. |

LOL! she told you to wait!? Dude, the other day I was forced to go during the day because I needed to hit up the deli counter.... some old bastard ahead of me put his stuff into my cart. I was like, "Sir... uhhh... I think your cart is over there." He goes, "Oh, sorry." Then after his next order, he went back to my cart again and put his cheese in there. So frustrating, those elderly. :disbelief |
