  • Walmart again...:p

    In the Wal of Mart today (I know, I know...my first mistake..lol). I had to get some groceries and some mucinex to kill this thing thats growing in my chest.

    So anywho, apparently NO ONE told me it was the annual meeting of the "Suddenly stopping while pushing a shopping cart and standing in the way" support group...

    Seriously, holy shit. EVERY single aisle I went through were random people suddenly stopping and blocking cart traffic either way. Some oblivious to the stares and excuse me's, some just not paying attention. Either way, it was honestly REALLY annoying, as my daughter was in the cart and if I had hit someone I wouldve given her whiplash. Lol. Im an aggressive cart pusher, but today i was sick, going much slower than usual and these asses still put their ankles in danger.

    As I hit the last aisle (yogurt and OJ...mmmm!), I see a little spanish woman eyeing me leeringly....I give her a and continue down the aisle..she starts to match me pace for pace, then pulls in front of my cart, stops and comes back to talk to me...

    She gets..UNCOMFORTABLY close to my face...LOL...up to my ear and asks "Hablas espanol?".

    So I say yes and we proceed with a little conversation. She has the deal of a century for me.

    She'll pay for my groceries with her "coupon card" aka foodstamps and I give her the cash..Um no honey...

    I told her no and sorry and left. She looked like she was going to poop herself...either this was the first time she asked someone or the first time someone had told her no.

    She couldve least sweetened the deal and offered 70 real cents to the food stamp dollar (just kidding guys!).

    We then go to pharmacy and am finally getting the mucinex. Its one you have to pull the card then wait in line for. Hubby goes to wait in line and I stand back with the cart and daughter. I look over to the right and see my ex-neighbor STARING at me.

    Now, I have to explain. This neighbor lived in an apt DIRECTLY across the street from my house. Everything I exited or entered my house for any reason..if he was home...he'd come outside and fiddle with his car until I left.

    Weird right? He never once said hi. Never a wave, just stared. He lived there with his girlfriend, who I would consider freaking HOT, hawter than me, and still..stared at me. Creepy...for realz.

    So, I noticed the stare (of death or desire??), broke off to my left and hid behind an aisle, where I could still see my hubby but not creepy neighbor man...Lol.

    Finally, got a soft pretzel and some lemonade (neither of which I could taste) and got home and took a nap.

    ............And so the prophecy was fulfilled and how the people rejoiced.

    The end.

    This irritates me more than the rest of the story.
    To not be able to taste a soft pretzel and lemonade is like getting signed to a professional football team and sitting on the bench for the entire season.

      My favorite is when people put their cart on one side of the asile and themselves on the other side of aisle effectively blocking said aisle.

        When I do that, I at least try to stagger myself and my cart so people can still get around. I also only do that when someone else's cart is keeping me from putting my cart on the same side as me. ::shakes fist at aisle-blockers::

          What I love are the people who, as soon as they step out of the store, stop right in front of the doorway to peruse their receipts, put away their wallet, etc. That's if they finish making it through the doorway...sometimes they stop right in the middle. Seriously? You can't move a few feet off to the side to do that?

            Didn't you know that they're the only person on the planet? Unfortunately, most of them drive that way, too.

              How about the ones who set off the door alarm for one reason or another, so they...stand there in the door while the greeter checks their receipt. Not only are they blocking the door, they're setting off the alarm again every two seconds.

                  Try being in the pharmacy that's right around the corner and having to hear that damned alarm the whole time. I'm really surprised that I haven't started to tune it out.

                    I made a snarky comment while getting around some woman that had to push her cart in the precise middle of the aisles. And that was after she'd been running a California roadblock with some other shopper friend of hers for the length of an entire aisle and the store had already technically closed and I was trying to get out of there so the people could go home.

                    (I'm not sure what the rules at the local Costco are, but they told us they closed at 6 as we walked in, and my phone said it was after 6 already... We would have turned around except my Mom was down and was leaving the next morning)

                      No, the worst are the ones that stop at the end of the escalator to chat and decide which direction they're heading, especially one going down. People avalanche in 3, 2, 1.

                        Former cashier here. And half the greeters I worked with never asked the customer to move their carts. I still twitch when I hear the alarm go off.
