inconsiderate shoppers - 04:33 PM
(filed under 'general')
you'd think that when you see someone pushing a trolley that is literally almost overflowing, plus having a whining kid in the seat of it, that when you're heading towards them & one of you has to move the trolley out of the way, that it might be the person with only three items in their trolley, it undoubtedly being much more manoeuverable than the one which weighs about five hundred kilograms.
rude flamin' shoppers.

you would think.
i'd have thought people would show a little consideration to a gigantically huge pregnant woman too but they just plough on regardless, expecting me to jump out of their way. hah, me, jump, at this size!
the other week i got a really fucking clueless checkout chick who put something like two 3L of milk and 2 2L of cordial in the same green bag, and passed it to me with a little, "oh, this one is on the heavy side".. i reached for it without really looking what was in it and just about ripped my arms off and ended up with fracking BH for the next 10 minutes. hello? it'd be heavy for ANYONE, but why the fuck would you try and hand something like that to someone as obviously and quite advancedly pregnant as i am?
anyway.
see what you mean about grumpy day.

Alright Coralie, let's just all find out if you set up a double standard. I see that you will allow the "F" word from posters but will censor some of us who happen to you capital letters (what a novel concept, shows that some of us aren't lazy) or have something to add that may not be EXACTLY what you want to hear gets deleted. Now that to me makes no sense, and it causes others to feel that they can't contribute. If you want a clique, just say that at the offset, instead of playing games. Thank you.

Mrs Marshansky, Why don't you just go away? You have a choice to come to this site or not, if you dislike it so much why bother "contributing" which sounds suspiciously like bitching via internet to me. You don't sound as if you're a fan anyway. It's her website, surely she can have what she wants on it, including all lower case letters. Geez...

not an English teacher, I suspect, otherwise she'd know that the word she wants in the second-last sentence is "outset", not "offset". a fairly silly complaint though, and that's for sure.

hi. i'm not entirely sure why you're upset at me, mrs masharnsky. the only comments i've been deleting are spam comments. i haven't deleted a personal comment from anyone for a really long time & even then it has to be pretty full on abuse for me to want to delete it.
maybe there's some misunderstanding going on. if i've deleted one of your comments by mistake, please accept my apology. i certainly didn't offend you on purpose.
on the other hand, since my original email to you telling you this actually bounced, i wonder if you're really just a clever spammer. if this isn't the case, then perhaps you need to check your email address next time you comment.

I hate grocery shopping at the best of times, let alone when there's people like that there. Bleh, have to do my own groceries tomorrow, oh joy.
