miko_supra Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Do food shopping at about 2am, Its like you own the place. Worst place for people is Lidles in slough, you can hear a pin drop despite it being so full and everyone looks so bloody misserable. I on the other hand was having a whale of a time finding foreign food bargains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannhauser Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Denis Diderot (all round genius and encyclopaedia compiler) coined the term "l'esprit d'escalier" to describe this sensation - 'spirit of the stairs'. And the Germans call it a treppenwitz. Pedantry is nothing to be ashamed of. The original post genuinely annoys me. I suppose it's the thought of someone like my wife, or Mum, or sister being barged out of the way by some arrogant clot because he thinks they are dithering and it's obviously of earth-shattering importance that he gets his shopping done in the fastest time possible.

Rich Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Its been along while since ive been to a supermarket since i was about 13 -14 roughly. Today went with my gf and omg the place drives me mad i thought people couldnt drive cars there bloody 100x times worse with shopping trolleys. Lost my temper a few times and just barged people out my way and the worst is when people walk towards you stare at you and dont move to the side i dont get it. Sounds like you suffer from a condition called "shopping Rage" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adnanshah247 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 lol. i go shopping all the time, i dont get so annoyed by other shoppers because the shopping centre doesnt belong to me, however some people do bump into you and leave their trolleys in the way of the sweets section but i dont find any need of getting so wound up and knocking people out. woooosaaaa (bad boys 2 meditation is needed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I remember an incident involving someone having to force their way past some people who were standing still, chatting away and oblivious to the persons attempt to get through. Eventually barging through the barger was met with the head of the stationary herd of cattle saying "I think the word you are looking for is 'excuse me'". To which the barger responded "That's two words, you ***king idiot". Anyway, Asda in Wakefield will usually make me incandescent with rage. Why do the people that shop there feel the need to take all their kids and all the kids fathers shopping at the same time? Same as any Morrisons. Strangely though I'm always very happy in any Sainsbury store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 "I think the word you are looking for is 'excuse me'". To which the barger responded "That's two words, you ***king idiot". I can empathise with the original poster. If you've been out of the loop for a long time the first time you go to a retail park or busy shop like Tesco Extra the senses are bombarded. It causes confusion, disorientation and can lead to panic. You don't know where to find anything. You can't seem to freely browse as there's people bustling all around you. When I've spent a couple of weeks in Greece in their chilled out mentality and come back here I find it extremely difficult. You just stop and look at everyone and think "What's the bleedin' rush?" I think we just do not realise what a fast pace of life we live in the UK - it's a very stressful environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 You would not believe the things I have seen in the past here is just a couple. At christmas two grown women fighting (i'm talking fists at dawn) for a fresh turkey. Another customer who decided that the shopping in his trolley was just what he wanted again at christmas and proceeded to nick it when he went round the corner.

erol_h Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 when i said i barged people out of my way i didnt actually go around pushing people out of my way its more with trolleys. They would just leave the trolly right in the middle of the isle 2or 3 of them and i would have to use my trolley to knock there's to the side to make way. Most of them saw me trying to get through but couldnt be asked to move there obese self or trolley,s only a few people were curtious enough and i always kept myself and my trolley aside being considerate of others.
