I’m currently in the supermarket with my wife, and a man, rather than actually speak to me and say excuse me has just pushed his trolley into me and looked at me to get me to move!

I mean WTF!?

To preempt questions

1) Tesco
2) he can talk/communicate perfectly as I’m currently watching him have a conversation with his wife

Typical Tesco customer who is in a hurry to pick up his produce that has a best before date of tomorrow.

To be fair he's just done what I've come close to doing on occasion, I don't know what you were doing, so no comment on that, but the number of people who dither about in supermarkets is just incredible. They pick the worst places to stop, they stand in the middle of a busy isle to have a conversation, they spend 20 minutes rooting through a box of banana's to find one that's not too green, not too yellow and has no marks on the bit they don't even f**king eat. We do our shopping at 8pm every Tuesday, when it's quiet enough to not have to deal with the nonsense.

I have been know to ram trolleys out of the way when people leave them in stupid places (usually at 45 degrees to the shelving).

I had an old bag do similar a couple of months ago. I was getting milk (LOLZ) and she physically pushed me to try and get me to move so should could get a carton from the same shelf in the little cage thing they keep the milk in.

I was not delaying her in any way as I had been there a couple of seconds before her I had simply walked up and as I put my hand out to take a carton she walked up behind me and just shoved me to the side.

She just looked at me when I did not move I assumed it was some kind of mistake or she had bumped into me by accident so I just gave her a bit of a stern look but as I put my arm out to grab a second carton she pushed me a second time. It was at that point I lost my rag which is very unusual for me and I told her to not touch me again, in fewer words shall we say.

She was about 60 and I felt bad for having to talk to her like that but FFS you cant just walk around shoving people. Wonder how many times she has done it before and no one has said anything.

Never had anything like that happen in a supermarket before. Hopefully I dominated the milk isle in true PH style.

Confrontation on the Isle of Milk.
Aisle wager it's just across the straights(sic) from the Archipelago of Artichokes. wink


"I had an old bag..."
Think yourself fortunate: she may be somebody's bag for life! yikes

Communication.

You’ve got your phone out to complain to strangers on the internet, rather than speak to the guy.

And we’re all sat here typing responses...

We are all fked.

You should go and find him and drop a packet of custard in his trolley, that will teach him.

I considered talking to him but I couldn’t see a win/win and I’m too old to be causing a scene in a supermarket on a Sunday over something trivial.
I just thought it was a little bit sad what we have come to..

Love it. Drop random crap into his trolley. See if he ends up taking it all to the till and buying stuff he didn't mean to.
