    I get so fed up with people who walk infront of the pram...

    Also those who get under my feet, they see me pushing the pram while carrying shopping, I have a disibility, i've had people push in the queue, etc...
    I always take the moral high ground, it's lovely up here...

    If I was standing 3 or 4 feet away, I wouldn't be able to see what I'm meant to be looking at.

    It's no suprise really that people stand in front of you if you stand that far away.

    I love the fact the OP is stating a fact that may of us agree with and experience regularly yet some people on here (like you) like to turn it around on them and make out it is their fault.

    I believe that is called a troll isn't it?

    I put it to one side so people can get past instead of right across the whole aisle, which is pig ignorant unintentional or not. Obviously you did not understand what I posted. That’s a shame, bless.

    Aw, YOU obviously didn't understand what I posted, bless.

    My point is that you too get into people's way, in the same way as you find someone in YOUR way. You cannot please everyone, you will have been that annoying person too at one time.

    I would get in the way a lot more often if I left my trolley perpendicular across the aisle. Like all the time. Obviously you still do not understand. That’s OK, I posted about one particular set of circumstances and you are trying to generalise it to defend your opinion. You still don’t seem to get it. I try to minimise inconvenience to others, the people I posted about do not give a flying monkeys, they deserve a bit of sarcasm.

    I bet like you they have just never thought about it.

    How is member Shellsuit a troll when they have been a member on here for 8 years?

    Don't you think they would have been rumbled by now?

    You have insulted a long standing member for no other reason than they disagree with your viewpoint.

    If someone was standing 4 ft away from a foodstuffs display in a store, THEY DON'T OWN A 16FT SPACE AROUND THEM!

    Get over it.

    I have no problem with people being american but it does annoy me when people 'pretend' they are.

    Trousers are now pants, trainers are sneakers, now im not a mum - im a mom i could go on :cool:

    "mum" is a "southernism". It's "mam" or "ma" in other places :rotfl:

    "pants" used to mean trousers in this country as well (although "keks" was the usual term...)

    My coworker says 'mom' all the time, she's a shropshire lass.

    Isn't "coworker" American for "colleague"?

    'Pants' used to mean trousers in the whole of the English speaking world.

    It's an abbreviation of 'Pantaloons'.

    And what you wore under them were 'underpants'.

    Quite why some areas stopped calling trousers 'pants' and started using the term to mean something for which there was already a name incorporating the same term is a bit of a mystery.

    Maybe someone can enlighten us.

    4 foot is a long way, esp in a supermarket. I cant stand people who push their way through but 4ft is massive in shopping terms.
