    Supermarket hates?

    Yea, I know this is a nothing subject but its a miserable day outside and I'm bored

    The local Pac & Sav must have 60 shopping trolleys. I reckon, at least 58 of the bloody things have a seized wheel on one corner.

    Pet hate no.2 is being behind some idiot who has to argue with the checkout operator over the a $1.00 saving on the specials, especially when they have stuff all on the conveyor belt, which is why I pick that aisle in the first place.

    What's your pet gripe?

    After waiting in the queue with your trolly to be served ... you discover (too late to get in the next aisle) that the three people/trollys ahead of you are together. After all items in their trollys are scanned ... she decides that he got the wrong size of one item ... and wants to change it. An assistant is sent to get it, only to discover it's not in stock. So she decides she wants two of that item instead.

    The likelyhood of this happening depends entirely on volume of customers in the store at that time.

    One advantage of a man going to the supermarket, is the wife not knowing what disappeared between the checkout and getting home. I know of one man who lost a packet of eskimo pies one day. Luckily, his wife never checks the shopping dockets.

    My wife and I have totally different ideas of what a shopping list should have on it.

    People pushing trollies is an exact replica of people on roads... so everything that comes with it.

    Also, stand in the middle of an aisle catching up and I WILL walk right through your little huddle...

    Try working in one,

    Number three pain in the ass would be people who simply barge in and push you aside without asking you to move, apparently manors are extinct

    Number two pain in the ass is the people who have a social gathering in the middle of an isle and despite anybodies efforts to get past, simply dont move.

    Number one pain in the ass is the fuckwits that use my bike as a fucking trolley stand, Shit I know its Korean and a POS but cmonnnnnnnnnnn

    Old People

    Those slow old people at Supermarkets.
    They need thier own little old folks aisle, an aisle where I can choose not to go!
    I was walking towards a checkout aisle today, lady was free, I could see that from halfway up aisle two at the local Four Square. Just as I reach the wide open space of the shop front, hand already in the shopping basket, this old fucker looms into view to my right about three pace's out from the checkout!
    Shit! come on Fuck!.... bugger he beat me!
    He has a trolley tooooooooo oooooooohhhhh fucken' ell'!!
    Slowly he reach's for his shopping (piece by fucking piece)..''how much you got there fulla'?
    7-8 items, not toooo bad I guess.
    Finally he gets all items out onto the counter, then searches for his wallet, please oh have your wallet!
    Yes he does!
    But which card?
    Checkout lady helps him with that...ahhhhh good ole' Westpac...
    So is that Chq? Sav? or Cred?....
    That would be Cred, he squints and bends to about 3 inches from the eftpos machine...
    Its only swipe and four numbers pops, come on mate, the queue is five deep now!
    Transaction complete..!
    His items are now loaded back into his trolley.
    My turn, I have three items, swipe, tap tap tap tap enter goodbye..
    Turn to leave and ahhhhhhh fuck! that old chap hasn't made it out of the shop yet, and whats more, he's bloking the doorway with his bloody trolley.

    Bless em'. ..I wanna be like that one day.

    Dopey middle aged women who stand there chatting while there groceries are being scanned, then when told the total get this stunned look as if they are surprised they have to pay for their groceries.

    Then they start the several minutes of grovelling around in their cavernous rats nest of a handbag, looking for the card that they just chucked back in there last time they were shopping, ffs put it back where it belongs so you can find it next time.

    If they don't have it in their hands for fucks sake dont ask if they have flybys !!!! Of course they fuckin do but it will take an age for them to find the fuckin thing and this fucking box of piss i'm going to flick you the right fucking change for is getting fucking warm !


    And No i dont have fucking flybys !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !
