pet peeves

[PromisedLand]

going to a grocery store with a self checkout gizmo and mommy has little suzie and johnny shopping and they're
arguing over who's turn it is to scan something...meanwhile those of us to chose to patronize the machine are held up
while mommy thinks it so cute..when they're done, she the starts fumbling through her purse for money to pay for the stuff


grocery store associates who gab with each other while doing your order, yapping about who's going to whos party
with whom,

those little tags they give you "to save you money" at the pharmacy and grocery store...at the pharmacy I'll walk up to the counter with 3 of those 12 packs of soad, a gallon of mile cat litter...and the first question out of their mouth?  Do you have a CVS card...how in the wild wild world of sports do they expect me to get the blasted card with all this stuff in my arms (and my wife saying 'don't forget to get the receipt'....ooops...a 12 pack of soda just dropped on her foot)

I'm just can't take grocery shopping anymore.. BUT I have too... soooo MOVE OVER please....

I was thinking the same thing about people blocking the isle! I've noticed it always happens when I'm in a hurry. I'll go down a isle and there are 2 people with 2 separate carts talking and blocking the way. I kindly say "excuse me" and they just sort of look at me. As I stand there a minute longer waiting they finally start moving....a little. They continue talking as they creep their carts along slower than a turtle just so they can get a few more words in which seems to take 20 minutes. Now wouldn't it make more sense to just have one pull off to the side so they could talk all they want! I guess because they think they have all the time in the world, so does everyone else. That **** drives me crazy! I sometimes wish they had they had yellow lines like they do on the interstate and have someone on patrol to issue tickets to those that should have one of those "here's your sign" posted on their back!

ahh yes, grocery store pet peeves..i have a few to add to the list already above, lol. I go to the store like 5x a week and its a miracle i havent walked in with a gun yet LOL. for starters how about the jackassses that double park their cars, or worse yet the ones who pull up SIDEWAYS across a parking space and take up 2 or 3 of them?? Whenever i see someone parked like that, Im always sure to park my car right in front of theirs so they get blocked in (usually someone else has the same good idea and hems them in from the rear as well) and they have to wait until I come back out so they can leave, haha!  ONce inside the store, I hate the people who are yakking their faces off on their cell phones, totally blocking an aisle with their cart and are completely oblivious to that fact since they are blabbing away on the phone (and talking about stupid things that no one else in the store cares to hear but has to listen to it anyways). I could go on and on but I"ll stop for now before i get myself worked up into a frenzy LOL

How about retail clerks that can't make change unless the register shows them how much? Grrr
