  • Sucky Customers at Antiques Market

    There is a lovley little antiques market on a sunday where we live, real antiques mixed with flea market, great atmosphere, but it is held in an old nursery greenhouse where plants used to be grown and so the lanes of stalls are very close together, with things hanging up, things on the floor in boxes, things on trestle tables.

    You get the idea, not an ultramodern marketplace is what i am trying to say.

    And so to todays sucky customers there.

    people with a young boisterous puppy jumping everywhere and getting under peoples legs and jumping into the tables "hey watch out for that antique plate" "This one, that's now in pieces?"


    couple with a huge baby buggy wider than the aisles "if i just shove this table sideways that's got the china on it we can get through"

    people walking with canes.Very slowly.In the middle of the aisle.Three abreast.And stopping every few seconds to discuss what is for dinner while a queue of people build up behind them

    small child touching everything in sight with mother chasing him and screaming at him to stop touching.

    Do they have no common sense at all?

        I think the only thing broken was by the dog, as I passed by I heard the owner whining to the stallholder "but it's only a puppppppppppyyyyyyy".

        I don't know if they paid up. They should have done.

            Well, if he's not old enough to get a job and pay for it himself, then I'm afraid you'll have to pay it for him...

              And what is a puppy doing in an antique store?
              Customers should always be served . . . to the nearest great white.

                Someone was sick of the cliche "Bull in a china shop?"

                  And per Mythbusters, bulls are significantly more polite around china and will navigate around them... as opposed to the puppy.

                    I loved that episode.


                    We have a antique store over here with the sign of "You break it, you bought it. I decide the price."

                      In German it's elephants in china shops. One TV show put it to the test and neither china nor any glasware was broken. The elephant - asian from the local zoo - only shoplifted a few apples from a centerpiece.

                        Meaning the elephant is a nimble kleptomaniac, and doesn't break stuff.
