Every little bit helps. It is amazing that when a case of Pepsi is on sale for $4.99 and Coke is $8.99, people still get the Coke or vice versa! For $4 it is good enough for me!

We don't want to listen to that garbage in the store.

The other thing is I have no problem barking at young children that the parents are letting run wild, slamming into people, knocking stuff over. "HEY young man this isn't a playground for you to run around in!". I've made many a child cry.

The other thing that has gone crazy in stores now is mobility scooters. Sure there are some people that are handicapped, but it's gotten out of hand now with seemingly fit people using them and they are reckless with those damn things.
Instead of trying to shame the woman, it would be more appropriate to try to shame the man who would speak to his wife in such a disrespectful way. That is abuse pure and simple. You don't tell your SO to such the **** up. You don't talk to anyone that way, and you don't demean your SO ever, much less in front of your children and complete strangers.

1. Unruly kids

2. The price of groceries (have you seen then lately....ridiculous!!) which puts people in a bad mood

3. The charming people who put their cart in front of the aisle you need to reach for something on and won't move

4. Heel spurs from being run over with a cart

5. Social carting - where people stop dead center in the ailse and talk with each other blocking the way for others

6. 50 people in line with 2 checkout lines open and the cashier is p*ssed because they are the only two working while all the other cashiers are hiding in the back

Nope. The chip aisle. Buy one and the other bag is half or free. Now, there's a site. You know I don't eat BBQ. Why can't we get baked. BECAUSE I DON'T EAT THAT SHYT!

LMAO!!!

My husband has never gone to the grocery store with me. Oh no wait we did once and I wanted to kill him. That's why I go by myself now...he doesn't know where anything is it drives me nuts.

Plus he wants to buy all this stupid crap.

Also, sometimes people leave grocery shopping to the very last moment, when there's nothing to eat in the house and the only thing left to do is go grocery shop.

Or if you've had a really rotten day at work and you're tired as hell, and the last thing you want to do is make a circuit around the grocery store, but you need to get coffee or milk or whatever. When I'm tired, I want to find my items, throw them in the cart, make a beeline for the register, pay for them and get the heck out of Dodge and GET HOME.

Then sometimes it's hard to find a parking space; and/or you enter the store and someone's kid is crying.

When my boyfriend goes shopping with me, he gets annoyed right away with other shoppers in the aisles with their carts and sometimes he actually starts singing off to the side,"Born to block an aisle!" I just try to keep moving - fast.
