    I have to agree with dinglebert - and women are usually the worst offenders - scrabbling round their handbags looking for a purse as if they hadn't expected they'd need it.

    This does it for me too. I was stood behind a woman the other week who when told the amount then had to go through 4 or 5 zips to get to her money. She had 2 lots of shopping, obviously buying for a friend.

    In between loads she put her purse away going through 4 or 5 zips again, only to have to go through exactly the same procedure to pay for the second load.

    Teeth were showing.

    Ladies,..........................................................
    ........And if you meet some friends in there by chance, remember that you will be having lunch with them the next day, so you do not need to block the aisle with your trollies and large derrieres.

    Thank you.

    :rolleyes::D


    OH! What should be used instead then?:confused:

    Hay, not all woman do that (me for one), I know what you mean some people (not just women) leave the trollies at angles in the middle of the lane to go get something they forgot three aisles down.

    Surely the most annoying things about supermarket shopping are the people that deliberately cause damage to other peoples cars, just because they park in parent and child spaces?

    Boasting about criminal damage on a public forum is not the brightest thing in the world.

    Last time I went to tesco's a middle aged man pull up in a P&C space with his bright red 'mid life crisis convertable':mad: :mad:

    I left my child in the trolley and pulled it along the side of the car, he only parked it there so it wouldn't get scarched, well that backed fired.
    I don't think he will park there again!

    Perhaps we should ban all women from the supermarkets and let the men do the shopping instead? But perhaps not because we'd all then live on a diet of frozen pizza and beer.

    What's wrong with that? :D

    Another plus with that is that the supermarket would only need 2 aisles :j

    but they also push the trolley which in turn could knock someone over

    Yes,but that doesn't mean you can't look to the side..its not a car.If you don't look to the sides you cannot choose your shopping and would go out of the shop with nothing in you trolley....

    I certainly would not take the OH food shopping she takes too long, add to that her mother would come as well!!!!!!!!:rotfl:

    I hate people who leave their trolley at one end of an aisle, wander down and select a product, and then put it in someone else's trolley and walk off with it, not realising until the trolley's owner comes jogging up behind them to reclaim it.

    :o

    Just fill it up with other items whilst they're not looking!

    One " old dear " had a right go at me ( how dare you move my trolley , how rude etc :rolleyes: ) before because I moved her trolley to get past , she was about 10 m away at the end of the aisle and obviously expected everyone to wait where they were until she was ready to move the offending trolley.

    I seem to get behind the retired couple who stop opposite where the member of staff is unloading a cage,and spend several minutes discussing the merits of Huntley and Palmers cornish wafers versus water biscuits,whilst blocking the aisle.Bless!!

    Know them well , was behind them yesterday :mad:
