Things I hate about the supermarket

    I fcuking hate:

    .The frustrated bitchs that run around through the aisles

    .The fcukers that stand behind you when you are looking deciding which item you are going to get

    .The ignorant gob****es that barge down infront of you and gawk at stuff that they don't even want, I feel like kneeing them in the head

    .People that leave their trolley in the middle of floor and walk off, I feel like swinging the trolley 360 degrees and smashing it off their back

    .Bag packers, I would love to put a plastic bag over their face until they gasp for air,ripping holes in the bag where their eyes are,thus letting them get O2 and also making their eyes water.

    This. Always for some charity that I have never heard of or a local GAA club that I have no interest in supporting. I can pack my own bags quicker and more efficiently.

    Plus ppl taking forever to pack their bags and holding the queue up.:mad:

    worst thread ever

    going to the supermarket is merely my cover for going out MILF hunting


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,445 ✭✭✭Absurdum


    but yeah bag packers are the work of the divil


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    OP shop online. Actually don't mix with the general population. Ever. That might sort you out.

    I hate old hags standing in the isle blocking up the whole place just to talk to each other and don't move out of your way.

    Yes i have physically pushed one of those hags out of the way before simply because she was being a stupid stuck up ignorant cow !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    people who just stop dead in the middle of the isle, and those who park up their shopping trolleys right if front of the shelf you want to have a gossip

    :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭Columbia


    Even if it's late at night with the store half empty, there will always be someone standing in front of the item I need.

    Hate the ****ers walking down an aisle and suddenly turn around with their trolley and hitting me with it. No observation and checking around them first for other shoppers, just turn it around and hits me. Ignorant. How did they get there and how are they getting their shopping home? I hope they're not the ones driving.

    I hate people who stand in front of me when I'm trying to look for something.

    Say, biscuits. I know I want a box of Jaffa Cakes but some ignorant twát has to stand in front of the whole biscuit section with his wife perusing all the different types, having a chat about what they should get while I'm stood behind for 10 minutes waiting.

    I'm all lost in the supermarket :(
    I can no longer shop happily
    I came in here for that special offer :o
    A guaranteed personality :cool:

    I wasn't born so much as I fell out
    Nobody seemed to notice me :o
    We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
    Over which I never could see :P

    I heard the people who lived on the ceiling
    Scream and fight most scarily
    Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling :D
    That's how it's been all around me

    I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes
    I save coupons from packets of tea :cool:
    I've got my giant hit discoteque album
    I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free :)

    The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls
    Make me noises for company
    Long distance callers make long distance calls
    And the silence makes me lonely :o

    And it's not hear
    It disappear
    I'm all lost :(

    Strange thing that seems to keep happening me at the supermarket: I'm standing in front of a block of items, I don't mean standing back a couple of metres I mean right in front of something, maybe reading a packet, when someone comes along and moves in in front of me :eek: It's not as if I would've been there ages.

    So it's
    Shelves of items
    <
    Ignorant Person
    Me

    Literally! Serious breach of personal space!!!! It's actually unbelievable when it happens.It's not even like they just go in and grab something, they move in and stand there like reading something, like I was. Crazy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 359 ✭✭jigglywoo


    I hate when the cashier starts having some stupid convo with the person who is paying for their shopping. Suddenly hand movements become super slow and it takes 10 seconds instead of 1 for the money to be handed over and 20 seconds instead of 2 for the receipt to be handed over.

    Then you have someone who takes forever to fill their shopping bags after paying and you have to wait for them to finish up and go away before you can fill your own bags. grrr.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,634 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Women who ignore the cashier when she tells them how much they owe, instead insisting on packing all their groceries before looking at the scanner to then rummaging around in their purse for change before finally handing over a fifty euro note.

    Pay first, then pack, so the next person can be served quicker.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,702 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    What about the fcukers that stop dead in their tracks right in front of you & then give you a look because you collided ever so slightly with them???! Not a hint of an apology, in fact they look at you like its your fault!!! WTF?

    Don't suddenly stop walking down an aisle & expect nobody to bump into you. Blinkered Morons.

    Also, women (sorry but it is mostly the ladies!) please stop using your shopping trolleys as bastarding battering rams. Its summer & lots of us are wearing sandals & would like to hang on to all of our toes thanks.

    Converse usually. I suppose you wear dirty white socks too :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,343 ✭✭✭Dull and Boring


    The people who take ages at the till, finally finish and then remember that they needed phone credit so I have to wait again.

    And I don't know about other Dunne Stores but my local one seems to be electrically charged, you can't touch a trolley or freezer door without being shocked:mad:

    Have to agree with people chatting with the cashier and then take ages to scan everything while I have to listen to all the gossip.."Oh old Maura died the other day" "Oh jaysus that's a holy terror.." and on and on and on..

    The kids who run around screaming and messing with everything,then when they fall over and you try to help them up the parents give you such an evil look,like you pushed them,which I wish I could..:mad:

    Don't see the big deal about someone standing in front of a shelf or something,just reach in and say excuse me or something.:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 596 ✭✭✭Bonkers_xOx


    It's cold:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,540 ✭✭✭Giselle


    I've never been left disabled by a trolley or let people talking bother me too much. I don't even mind the odd screaming tot. I don't mind old people taking sixteen years to pay for the three discounted out of date food items the pension allows them every month.

    What I really hate is the Robohag at the self-checkout. I hate the voice, I hate her demanding I swipe my non-existant clubcard, I hate her telling me to please take my items and most of all, I really, really, really, really, really hate her telling me there's an unknown item in the bagging area.

    I'd kick her in the bagging area, if I knew where it was.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    Where do you people shop? I've never experienced any of that.

    M&S ftw.


  • Registered Users Posts: 276 ✭✭Wade in the Sea


    People who walk away from the till because they forgot to get something. No no seriously we will all wait for you, your time is far more valuable than ours.

    Seriously though other than that I love supermarkets. They are full of food and women. :D

    Hate the bag packers aswell, do they not understand I dont need help?! I even ask them not to pack and they do it anyways? I always use my laser card to pay so I say to them sorry I have no change, even though I do.
    I dont use those self service machines because they annoy me so much, approval needed, unexpected item in baggage area, please dont pug your bags in baggage area :mad:, unless I was only buying 1 or 2 items, I avoid those machines like the plague! Its funny how there meant to be faster and more convenient but there neither!

    The freezer area.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,041 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    People who can't use the self service checkouts correctly and say the one they were attempting to use is broken and move to another one.

    Then myself or any other non-idiotic person easily uses the supposedly broken checkout.

    They've almost overtaken slow ATM users on my annoyance list, almost.

    Doesn't have to be a motorcycle helmet. Anything heavier than a feather (e.g. own bag) also throws it into a frenzy.
