My first job ever was as a cashier in a supermarket. And I concluded even then that supermarkets are a wasteland of retarded mouthbreathers.
My pet theory is that, while in any other segment of retail the customers are some subset of the population -- gaming nerds in game shops, etc. -- every asshole in the world has to buy food. As a result, normal intelligent shoppers deal with a higher rate of imbeciles in supermarkets than they are accustomed to.
I am an aggressive shopper, and the thing I hate most are baby strollers. They are fucking EVERYWHERE in my 'hood, and I will kill one of those little meatbags soon if I see one in my way.
ugh.
Although for me what's worse is dealing with making dinner choices and including Doug in the decision. Aaaaah, his indecision (and he's the picky one) drives me bonkers. Someday, I am going to make pasta alfredo (he hates cream sauce) and sliced ham (he hates ham) for dinner. That'll teach him. I love the man to death, but sometimes...aaaaaaargh.
Damn, woman. You're a shopping nazi. Haven't you ever gone to a place without knowing what you're going to buy until you get there? That's like the definition of bachelor shopping, right there.
Organizational skills lose to spontaneous buying of random crap every single time.
Yes, it happens, but it usually never happens in supermarkets :p
I know what food I'm gonna buy, cos I am normally just anal like that. I *may* have a detour cos I thought of something, or made a quick decision or some such, but I will NOT ponder the olives or the loo rolls for more than a maximum of 10 seconds. :p
Your icon inspires me to write "Rather than be annoyed with Christmas, you could contemplate whether it is possible to slash the two people in your icon with the help of a time tuner, and whether that is an advisable thought, fandom-wise.".
Otherwise: I believe Christmas Shopping should be prohibited. Instead everyone should just get drunk and merry and stay the hell out of any shops. *nods*
