Every time I go to the grocery store, I get pissed. I have an encounter with at least one douchebag that has to stop right in the middle of the fucking aisle. Right in the middle of the aisle. Which means you can't get a cart through on either side of douchebag's cart. Look, I understand you might be looking for something, but can you move your cart to one side or the other so OTHER people can get through? I know, I know, that would imply that you actually gave a shit about anyone else but your twatty self. How fucking hard is it?
Then there's super mom who runs into her BFF. Now we have two carts. One is blocking the aisle and the other is blocking the main thoroughfare. They are so wrapped up in themselves, even if say "excuse me," it's not likely they will hear you. This is when I hit their cart with mine. That usually brings them back to reality. With a look from one (or both) of them like it's my fault.
Next we have yielding to others. Maneuvering the aisles of a store is a lot like driving. Common sense is required for both of these activities. I can't tell you how many times I've almost gotten knocked into by someone coming out of an aisle onto the main thoroughfare. The people on main st. have the right of way. If you are coming out onto main st., you need to look BEFORE you push your cart out into it. Sounds pretty simple, right?
I don't know where common sense in most people has gone in this day and age. Maybe it's the whole 'it's all about me' attitude. Common sense and courtesy towards others seem to be a thing of the past. Manners are nonexistent now, too, especially in kids. But that's a whole different rant for another day.
