I like to fart while grocery shopping

There are two things that ignore the crap out of me.

1. People who are completely oblivious they are blocking an entire aisle while reading labels.

2. People who do not bag as they are scanning at the self-checkout lanes. I am dumbfounded they don't seem to understand this is taking twice as long since they have to pick up every item twice.

At my local store, it's better not to bag as you go. (It confuses the scale under the landing area, stops the process, and then you have to wait for a clerk to come over and "help," each time the scale goes off). Better to lay everything directly on the platform rather than trying to arrange things in your bags.

[quote]I like to fart while grocery shopping

One night, I was grocery shopping and in the produce section, and it was late, like 10pm-11pm, it was empty. I needed to fart, so because nobody was around, I let out a wet long fart, and lo and behold, this along comes this guy in electric wheelchair zipping right past, I farted right in his face. What are the odds?

Many WOMAN do this with their shopping. They have a phone in one hand. The other hand places each item on the belt one at a time. usually there is some bizarre system governing how and where it is placed on the belt, as well. Sometimes there are pauses about which item to take singly out of the basket or cart and place on the belt.

Is r6 the start of a fetish scenario?

I like to comment on what’s in other people’s carts.

“You know what’s in that?”

“They sell fresh ones, you know.”

“No wonder. [gazing at fatso]”

People seem to appreciate it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

People are assholes everywhere you go anymore. Bitches on their cells are the fucking worst. I scream "EXCUSE ME" often now.I love the shitty side eyes they give me too.

I enjoy the cows that eat half a box of donuts or bucket of fried chicken while shopping and then leave it on a shelf behind cans of soup.

Better yet a tub of ice cream.

Scan, scan, scan, scan, scan, scan - Total.

At which point the woman (and it is always women) makes the shock discovery that these items need to be paid for.

Rummaging around in bag or backpack - ooops, wrong card - find another card but cannot work how to process it through the EFTPOS or PayWave terminal. Then once that’s done it’s time to very slowly (because there’s a process) sort items into different bags.

Quick check of the phone, load up the bags, adjust the backpack and she’s on her way, completely oblivious to the hate stares from the people behind her.

Rude grocery store workers stocking shelves by barreling from back rooms steering huge pallets of merch without caring about nearly hitting customers. Even when they move aside to let them pass by.

by Anonymousreply 21September 29, 2022 10:52 PM

Oh boy! I just came from the supermarket, really annoyed. I was checking out my groceries....I had to pack them, using my reusable bags (my state banned plastic bags)...then, I was ready to pay. A guy behind me was too close, had his cart blocking the payment terminal....so, I said, "Please back up, I haven't paid yet." He backed up only inches, still too close, There was no one behind him....just two of us. I hate the arrogance and inconsideration of too many people now. I'm still peeved about it. Back the fuck up!

I am quite displeased when a person of lesser standing than I has loud conversations on speaker phone while shopping.

Oh who fucking cares if you’re displeased. It doesn’t concern or affect you

People shopping in pairs or groups can be rude, oblivious to others around them.

Entire extended families shopping for groceries as if it's a fun filled event. We don't need grandma, grandpa, auntie, both parents and six unruly kids clogging up the aisles. Leave them at home.

"Returning’ Items To Random Places"

Only item on the list I am guilty of. Sorry, my sm is HUGE, with 2 floors . I am not going to walk half a mile just to return a can of peas. Hire someone to put that shit back. I of course dont do this if its a frozen item though.

by Anonymousreply 27September 30, 2022 1:52 AM

R2, also people who know they're blocking the aisle but it's a form of reparations.

Whiteness is "urgency", so I've been taught by my Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity officer. It doesn't apply at work, but it applies everywhere else, apparently.

Someone YELLING INTO THEIR FUCKING PHONE TWO FEET AWAY doesn't affect you? Are you hearing impaired?

I do this. Not the one hand, phone juggling thing, but selective placement of items on the belt. The reason is so certain things will end up bagged together down line. I like to keep the frozen stuff together, produce and meats in their own separate bags, etc..

r29 deal with it. they're not doing it to you or impeding your shopping. life outside the grocery store has the same action.

For me, this is constant. No one will come into my office space for weeks on end. The second I fart, someone will inevitably walk right in

I've been the victim of a store fart bombing experience. The worst one was inside a large drug store and the assailant was two elderly women who farted in the general area i was in. I walked and walked around the store trying to escape it but I couldn't. It was everywhere. It was like they farted on my clothing. ugh.

It pisses me off to see a cart left in a handicap parking stall. So selfish and inconsiderate. Where’s the cart narc when you need him.

In the "One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others" category-- who the fuck grabs things from other people's carts while they're not looking??

All of the other behavior is common enough, e.g. people who only first start searching for their wallets when the cashier finishes ringing them up, people who drive their carts down the middle of the aisle-- but that one just stood out.

I unexpectedly saw my Mum in the supermarket, and decided to lightly ram her trolley and say "Excuse me! You're in my way!". Mum turned round, and we had a jokey showdown where we insulted each other's trolley items (she called my croissants pretentious! The cheek!).

It was silly fun until another customer barged in and ordered me to apologise to the poor lady. Before I could explain, my Mum told her to bugger off! She was annoyed the woman called her 'poor'.
