To have moved this lady's empty trolley - she obviously thought I was

shopping in Asda earlier

women in her late 60s had her trolley blocking salads, I moved it slightly, leant over and got my watercress.

She was then muttering at a packet of ready salad. I thought she was reading it out loud, then wondered if she wanted help reading the ingrediants. I said "are you talkign to me"
She said "you could have said excuse me", before I moved her trolley.

It's only a Trolley was my retort.

It does annoy me,
I must admit I occasionally do say excuse me when I move people's trolleys out of the way but do find it unreasonable that people get so protective of their trolleys, when they are standing in the way of the food!

  • DH said if i was a man I would be in permanent fights in pubs with my attitude!

You lot have all the things happen, I have never had a row with anyone in a supermarket in all the years I've been shopping.
And I've moved loads of other people's trolleys to reach what I want and no one has ever got the hump.
And other people have moved mine too the bastards.

Mind you, the reduced section is sometimes a challenge, those greedy bastards who put their trolleys right across so you cannot get in to look.Grin

Always say excuse me first, it's only polite!
