I'm generally a pretty easy going guy, but the second I step into a grocery store I develop a burning hatred for every person I see.

Sometimes I think that there is a large conspiracy where the patrons of the store have coordinated their placement and movements such that they maximize the time it takes me to get everything I need.


I never cease to be amazed at people's lack of awareness in public places, especially grocery stores. Like, you don't have to have eyes in the back of your head to be conscious of your surroundings and sense that someone is beside you or behind you and trying to get by. I've also never understood people who just take something off the shelf and study it for 10 minutes in the middle of an aisle like it's a diamond.

So many times I've wanted something that someone else was blocking while they just stared at something they picked up.

What bothers me is how the local wal-marts drop PALLETS of junk all around the store which makes getting around much more difficult. A lot of them aren't even really displays, just a pallet with the plastic wrap cut off.

Don't ever go to Disney World if this bothers you. It is the worst place in the world for experiencing this. People walking in front of you just stop and pull out their map trying to figure out where to go next.
