Supermarkets

So again, am I the only one who finds shopping in supermarkets something akin to the Chinese water torture ?

Surely there must be some unwritten law concerning the lost, unwitting and plainly intellectually challenged browsers who inhabit the dark recesses of the West Swindon !

Who else could.....

1. Take along on their shopping expedition.. offspring ( unheard and ignored screaming optional) ?
Surely there has to be some noise levels enforceable ?

2. Zombie like individuals who find the whole supermarket experience totally overwhelming in the extreme and have to resort to the time trusted method of assumed invisibility afforded by their mobile phones
making a halt to browsing only causes unnecessary hold ups to other, and probably reducing their life expectancy in the process ?
Describe each and every item on each shelf and it's price to an unknown accomplice via their mobile, thereby absolving themselves of the unwanted task of making a decision.

3. Anyone who is guilty of the above, but has so far escaped my attentions !

When in a hurry I now suffer from Trolley Rage. Maybe it's my age.

I take no prisoners- just mow them down, those twits stopping to look round just in front of the entrance, the ones who leave their trolley right in the way of what you're trying to get off the shelf while they go off looking in a diffferent aisle entirely and  then give you black looks when you dare touch it to get it out of the way.

Beware, I'm on the warpath mostly on Sundays.

Don't know about the rest of you but, I'm sure that some time ago my local mini mart was the subject of a direct hit by a 10 megaton Fat Ar*e bomb !

It only takes two of those adipose rumps to entirely block an aisle, and it's usually the aisle I want to venture down !
Maybe it's time that supermarkets and other stores fitted those gauges like they have on amusement park rides...you know...the one that states you must be so high to ride on this thing !
It could be along the lines of " Your ar*e must fit in this gauge before you can shop here " that and possibly a cage where these poor ladies could deposit their screeching offspring, before they cause undue stress and burst eardrums to other shoppers ?
The possibilities are endless, but I really must go feed my moggie ...back soon !

Supermarkets are like magic places you can buy what you want when you want and I never have a problem, but as I shop for me and my laddie its easy.
