I know it might be hard to believe that I have pet peeves, but I do.
I'll just start with the grocery store.
People who leave their buggy wherever they feel in the parking lot rather than return it to a proper parking spot.
People parking in a handicap slot who don't need the help. Just because you are driving your mothers car which has a sticker doesn't mean you have to park there.
People who take up the whole aisle and seem oblivious to those behind them. I want to ram them with my buggy.
People who go in to the express line with WAY more than the 10 items. Close is OK, I am talking way over the number.
People who get to the check-out cashier and are talking on their stupid cell phone. That cashier is providing you a service who at minimum deserves your respect and attention during the process. It's rude, and I don't like rude people. I could make cell phones it's own category.
That's a start, I will think of more.
Aaah, the grocery store, where common decency is easily discarded. Of all those gripes you expressed, there’s nothing more egregious than people who have a big cart full and go to the express lane. I’ve been told by cashiers - the wife works at a big grocery store - that THEY are told to ring them through.
I’ve called out putting people once or twice but they look at me with a flabbergast expression. I no longer bother.
But, one has to know in advance that when they go to the grocer, there will be people in the way, they will block the aisle, but if you merely say excuse me, they are happy to let you pass. That’s how we do it in east coast Canada.
