Early on tonight i went shopping at the asda, now i only go once a fortnight and everytime i go i come out seething... tonight i entered the store in a great mood as soon as i went to go up the fruit and veg aisle my patience went out the window. there was agroup of at least 15!!people talking to each other all with there trolleys blocking the aisle. i did say excuse me but they looked at me as though i had 6 heads! so i then had to walk around them all and go up an aisle i didnt need to and come back on myself.Annoying!
Then at the freezer section there was a lady who had 7 children with her, they were all running up and down the aisle and sliding on the floor, i was looking in one of the freezers when my trolley mysteriously vanished, one of her kids had skidded right into it and hurt themselves. she had the cheek to turn around to me and say watch where your pushing that trolley!! if i could have had it my way i would have pushed that trolley where the sun dont shine! it just wasnt me that the children or the chatting people were stopping but other people too, most people were finishing work and wanted to get home. is it me that this happens to every time i go or does it happen to other poeple??

I find supermarket shopping a really pleasant experience - provided I am on my own! I hate going at Willows pace! - - and it helps not to go on busy periods

If he uses your experience you'll have to e-mail him for a cut of his wage.

Best time to go is 0945hrs on a Sunday morning, its very quiet I can do a full shop and be out by 1030hrs, checkouts dont open till 10am but thats not a problem for me.

Its not just you at all Baby. Whenever me and the missus went we had the same problem. In her case she just walked away. In my case I just kept on shoving the trolley

Its funny me and less where talking about this the other day
the answer is your first stop in asda is the chemist area
pick a few packs of condoms up
then any problems just chuck a few packs in the affending trollys and follow them to the checkout hehe
its really fun if it was an old dear that had a go at you trying to explaine the condomes hehe

I've got so fed up with the big supermarket shop and a recent back injury (as I only usually go monthly and just buy fresh locally) that I have resorted to shopping on line, not only is it delivered to my door but I end up spending less too! I have done it twice now and have only forgotten a couple of items.

ah but you dont get the treat of having a monkey pack your items into a bag so that your bread is sitting at the bottom with your leaking bleach on top of it!!!
