I had to go to the supermarket on my way home from work yesterday. I came home indignant. I have to say, whenever I go to the supermarket, I come home outraged, full of hatred for inconsiderate, selfish, lazy, uncaring, irresponsible, stupid and downright hostile people. It’s amazing how people can be so callous for no reason at all. Yesterday, these people I saw there were worse than ever! The following are 13 things I muttered to myself or wanted to scream at the people at the supermarket yesterday ALONE.
- Why can’t you just close those damn doors so that the poor old couple can park next to your car instead of staring at them and making them back out and go to another spot, you inconsiderate selfish fuck?
- It doesn’t occur to you that other people might want to pass while you examine the label of each can with your cart blocking the entire aisle?
- When people say “Excuse me,” while you talk on the phone blocking other people from the items they want access to, you are supposed to move your fat ass swiftly out of that area, NOT glare at them moving just half a step.
- We all want to get through this aisle. It would work much better if you ALSO moved your cart to your right while we pass each other instead of you standing firm in the middle of the aisle waiting for me to somehow let you pass cause I ain’t backing out of the aisle or climbing over the shelves. That’s right. See how that works?
- If you don’t move your cart and unblock me and let me get out of here, you are never gonna get to the chicken legs AT ALL. I might get all the remaining chicken legs while I’m blocked in here.
- Is it really necessary to make others wait while you two argue about which frozen food to get?
- Sorry, I got here first. Glaring at me for taking the last carton of milk ain’t gonna make me give it up, bitch.
- Didn’t you just see your kid run his hand through chicken and turkey section with sticky blood everywhere and put his fingers to his mouth?
- I understand you could have missed the find prints on the circular that clearly states only regular Cheerios are on sale. I don’t understand you wasting everybody’s time fighting with the cashier and the manager about it even AFTER you found out.
- I seriously think the time you wasted staring into space while waiting for the person in front of you could have been spent much better on looking for your purse AND your changes at the bottom of your humongous bag.
- Standing so close to me trying to push me forward isn’t going to make the cashier scan my things any faster.
- If you choose to idle your engine right at the curb despite the signs not to, at least get away from the fucking exit so that people with carts can get off the curb!
- The parking spot for the handicapped is NOT where you return your cart, you lazy ass.

Preach on sister! Excellent rant, I likes your style =) Happy TT and may the consumer gods spare you another round for a day or so!
Fabulous post! I agree with you on most of these and have wanted to smack the shit out of more than one person while in the grocery store, especially here lately.
Man. You have such a stressful life full of stupid people. Come move to Kansas, where things are jolly and bright, where people wave at you and say “excuse me” with a smile!
Great post!! I love to see other bloggers venting like me!
And yeah, I agree with you on all of it!!
You know, for my TT, I almost did ’13 Things To Make Your Grocery Shopping Experience Go Faster’.
But I wasn’t sure I could come up with 13. Maybe next week.
People do #9 all the time. Just the other day, someone insisted that Pepsi was on sale as well as Coke. It wasn’t. #10 is also quite common. There’s also a surprising number of people who forget their wallet in their cars.
lmao it sounds like you’ve been lurking in my brain when I go shopping. lol!!

Rupe just wishes Yoon would really tell us how she feels …..
Zat too much to ask?
ewww sticky bloody poultry fingers in mouth. ewwwww
here’s one of my gripes: why do I always get the cart with only 3 wheels that roll?
*quietly pushes her cart to the corral*
Yikes! Rough day?
Seriously, I think those people are the Flying Dutchman of supermarkets; they never actually go home because they are traveling from supermarket to supermarket, spreading evil and misery as they go. I know they shop everywhere I go. It’s a relief to know, anyway, that they aren’t following me. I thought they were, but now I realize that they are a supernatural force and impersonally hassling everybody else, too.
Hahaha. Rough time. Maybe you should take a xanex before you go to the grocery.
Thank you for going to the store and taking one for all of us. The next time I’m shopping with my husband I’m gonna take a copy of this blog so he follows the rules too! He’s a rebel and I hate shopping with him.
