Pig ignorance in supermarkets.

Jimmy Garlic

What is it with people who wander around supermarkets in a dazed and zombie like state? You know, those people with little or no spacial awareness that walk into you. Those zombie middle aged women that think it is perfectly acceptable to block an aisle while they talk rubbish then look at you like you kicked a puppy when you ask them to move (nicely). Those people that can't wait their turn and barge in front of you to get something, diving for it like it was the last thing on the shelf.

I hate people.

It might seem a little strange or different to you but often people (including myself) see 'food shopping' as a type of hypnotic stress relieving therapy. Personally, doing the weekly shopping gives me a chance to be on my own away from the 'big bad world' in which we sadly live in today. I often find myself lost in happiness which might explain the lackadaisical manner in which some of us shop. However I do appreciate your frustration and can completely I can completely understand where you're coming from Note to self, keep an eye out for the puppy kickers :P

On an unrelated note, I love being deep in the 12th aisle of a big supermarket. You feel like you're miles away from the 'big bad world'.

They are just Brain-Dead... believe it or not, there are many an Irish person walking around with no brain and when you look in their eyes you can see complete emptiness. So don't worry, let them walk into walls and do brain-dead things, but expect the unexpected with these unusual characters.

Now, now op you know the rules, don't drink and post about your day.

Shop online at www.Tesco.ie instead.

The same people shouldn't be allowed to drive on the roads.
They have no concentration or awareness of what is going on around them and they always think that they're in the right. . .

Its the same people that watch tv and are fixated, no amount of screaming can take their attention away from the television.

Hell is other people (in supermarkets).

Nah, the taste would be far too bland for my liking. As they say... if they had brains they would be dangerous.

smellslikeshoes

This is why I've always loved 24 hour Tesco, shopping at 5am makes it an entirely different experience. It's a real pity a lot of them are no longer 24 hours though.

The same as a day out to Croke Park.

A checkout girl in Dunnes Waterford told me recently,that any item with a second inner package,ie corn flakes,nappies etc etc.The blacks remove them from the cardboard box and leave the empty boxes at the checkout so they don't have to pay for the recycling bin.

Also they purposefully play slow music, use a certain level of lighting and supply you with slow-moving trolleys so that you mooch around the shop slowly - that way you buy more.

I think the thread they're referring to mentioned Germans so going from that German is the new black. Although I'm not good at keeping up with the latest fashion trends so it could be they're the new green?

Totally agree with you. Nothing worse than 3 old bints standing in the middle of the aisle yapping like they on the bingo bus about which other old **** died this week and which one is hanging on by finger nails. Just get the **** outta my way let me get my birds eye fish fingers because unlike you wrinkled old cows i have places to be.

And don't ****ing start me off on the 2 houswifes with 5 snotty brats between them running amok all over the place!

No Im genuine. Who are The Blacks?
If I referred to The Whites would you think I mean Polish, Australian, American, French, Canadian or even Olive skinned Greeks or Spanish?
Could The Blacks be African, Indian, African Americans, Maoris, Native Australians, American Indians, Jamacians.
maybe posh Uk Blacks like Trevor McDonald and his family?

Its a good job these blacks just wander around eating Kangaroo balls and widgery grubs rather than clogging up the supermarket aisles with their discarded outer packages and zombie like gait.

Unlikely seeing as he live in America. Home to many Blacks. I think it must be Mary and Francis. The Irish Blacks who sing songs.

Well obviously it cannot be a reference to black skinned people as it would be grossly stupid to consider people spread all across the globe as being one and the same. I reckon its Black Protestants from over the border trying to cripple the free state with bin fees . At least with their experience in marching the get up and down the aisles fairly sharpish.
