To feel that nobody else should be allowed in the supermarket when I'm in there

[Stickaforkinimdone]

Alert: this is lighthearted

Am I alone in thinking that it’s actually really fucking annoying to be in the supermarket with other people ESPECIALLY when they want the same things as you?

They’re a specific TYPE of people that I’m talking about; you know the ones, they’ve followed you in and it’s like they know EXACTLY where you’re going and the only reason they have come to the supermarket is to get in your way. No other reason. None

Even when there is no bloody way in hell they too could want the niche item that you want they’re right fucking THERE

Sigh. Pulls my best grumpy cat face

YANBU - unless I'm in there. Then you can get out

I think the same thing about tubes and trains and roads. Goddammit, how dare Other People use them at the same time as me and clog them all up?!

Maybe the person following "you" is actually you, and you're somebody else.

Our local Waitrose is open until 8pm, and nobody seems to realise it. Often go in at 7:30pm and it's there are about 4 other customers, it's wonderful.

sounds fair enough, but only if nobody else is anywhere when I want to go there. or maybe just one other person who looks nice and keeps out of my way.

It's the staff blocking up the aisles with massive cages and all the staff getting annoyed when you want something from the aisle/freezer they are working on that drive me mad.

I do understand that people are doing their jobs and I'm not an arse, but I do find it frustrating that the customers can't do their bloody shopping!

@SaucyJack you can’t possibly be suggesting that I am in fact the cretin on the clapham omnibus that I speak of with such high levels of disdain?!!!

And that is why I do my shopping online!

@SheRaaarghPrincessOfPower hello mother! I knew I’d find you on here eventually 😆

I have often wished for a big lottery win just so I can pay to shut down theme parks, cinemas and swimming pools to everyone else but me.

My local Tesco seems to be a catch up place for people who haven't seen each other for years so groups of them will congregate with trollies blocking the aisles then look offended when asked to move. I often wonder if there is a Meet Up in Tesco page on Facebook .

Smile at people and start talking small talk with them, I find they soon fuck off far away from me, far far away, with a look of mild fear in there eyes

😂😂😂😂

Only perk of finishing shifts at 4am and having a 24 hour tesco on the way home is that I can go around an almost completely empty store with all the staff free to help me find whatever I'm after!

Ugh, you reminded me about this woman who I met on the way to my weekly Lidl shopping trip. She was on the mobility scooter, crossing the road and I had to warn her about cars coming (I assumed she couldn’t see them from behind the parked cars). She ignored my warning and just crossed the road, nearly got hit.
Anyway, I saw her again in Lidl and she was literally everywhere I went. She stopped right in front of those same shelves I tried get to. I had to wait for her to move out of the way before picking up every single item. God, that was irritating.
She was even in the way by the tills and managed to somehow block my access to the belt, even though she was waiting at another till. And very very rude too.

What annoys me is when tall people reache over my short arse shoulder, I'm very tempted to bite them .

I'm happy to be asked to move, even to pass stuff!

It's also stupidly busy around Christmas as everyone has the same damn deadline, I swear it should be staggered. So people with surnames starting with A-C have it on the 10th, D-F on the 15th etc.

It seems reasonable, if you're a megalomaniac

It seems my husband has found mumsnet and begun posting. He's always bemoaning the fact that other people are allowed out in public places

Personally I think the worst thing about other people in supermarkets is when you meet someone you know in the first aisle. You have a bit of a chat and then get on your way. Then you meet them in the second aisle, and smile awkwardly and say 'hello again!'. In the third aisle one of you makes a lame joke of the 'are you following me?' variety. By the fourth aisle you're desperately trying to pretend you haven't noticed each other. Truly the most excruciating of social interactions.

Nobody else should br allowed to park there when I am, that’s for sure.

They can all catch fucking public transport. Annoying plebs.

Smile at people and start talking small talk with them, I find they soon fuck off far away from me, far far away, with a look of mild fear in there eyes

Holy shit, are you the woman who came flying over to me while I was innocently weighing almonds at the Scoop ‘n’ Pay? Grabbed me by the arm and asked urgently ‘Are you divorced too?’

If so, you’re a weirdo.

No one should be allowed to sit or stand on either side, nor opposite me on public transport, or preferably within a 1 metre radius. No one should walk in front of me on the pavement, stairs, or anywhere for that matter - they always get in the way.

And everyone can just fuck right off when I’m clothes shopping! I need space to freely access everything that I like the look of, so back away bitches and let me do my thing.

Oh, and if you want to check your Lotto numbers while I’m waiting to buy a newspaper, you’re a cunt.

HTH.

Yanbu. People are everywhere

I don't leave the house voluntarily (only slightly joking) so when I do I would appreciate it if the rest of you could go have a nap or something

Also, I park at the deserted bit of car park 80 miles from the door because people are shit at parking. When I come out and some arsehole has parked 3 inches from my door I strongly considering waiting and murdering them with my 10p fucking bag because I forgot my sodding bag again.

I'm actually a very placid person in real life, mostly...

Yes/Yes although I have to say this time of year it's the town center that I bloody hate,so many people just stop with no warning,twice today I nearly fell over a lady because twice she stopped dead in her tracks and I nearly ended up arse over tip,no sodding warning and she did it in the busiest of places,she nearly got herself ran over twice by two different prams.

But the bloody worst was in boots on Saturday I was Christmas shopping with my DS21,we go up the escalator and there's a family in front of us(all adults)the 2 women step of the escalator and the fucking idiot man that was with them just stopped and stood at the top of the escalator,he nearly sent me and my son flying I had to shout at the bloody idiot to get out of the way and then he looked at me as if I was in the wrong.

I could have quite happily kicked him up the arse!

It's the ones who leave their trolley diagonally across the aisle that get me.

Supermarkets are hell this time of year - people always seem to be in my way at the exact spot that I want to be in!
I hate all forms of shopping, but I am not keen on having food delivered either .. so have to just suck it up and think of the weight loss as i push heavy trollies up and down aisles. Must be good for the arms and legs?
