ParticipantAh, Brutus…you neglected to mention one VERY important part of the “futzing” process: the elderly woman who digs for change AND coupons (“I know I have a 10 cents off coupon for this toilet paper in here SOMEWHERE”)
The other crime is not having the VIP grocery store club card and then making a stink about the discount.
Before filling a cart with lots of “Club VIP” priced items, wouldnt it make sense to make sure the card is on your person?
I was once behind a coupon-clipper for what seemed like an eternity. She had a coupon for everything in her cart, and they were all wadded up in one big mess at the bottom of her cavernous purse. But, of course, before she searched for the 10 cent off coupon, she had to find her GLASSES which were somewhere else in the Purse from Hell.
The cashier and I were both near tears. The woman operated as if she was in her own universe. I honestly think I’ve taken out a mortgage in less time… ah well…

ParticipantI have often said that single people, like dairy products, have an expiration date. If left alone for too long, they become moldy, hairy and unwanted!

ParticipantYou know there is so much unexplored terrain here…
No one has even mentioned what I call the “Stroller Mafia.”
Have you ever been to an event with lots of people, where parents seem to think that being a stroller pilot gives them a pass to the front of the line? Or barge in front of you?
last summer, a woman rolled right over my sandal-clad foot with her stroller. Didnt even apologize…just kept on going. And there is no way she could not have known.
To be fair, I’ve been in lines where parents had small children who were clearly upset/cranky/tired, etc. And I have gladly let them cut in front of me.
When I was at Stater Bros yesterday, a totally clueless woman almost ran me with down with her grocery cart in the produce aisle. I thought, “ahhhh…you MUST own a stroller!”
The common “thread” that I see running through many of these peeves is an utter disregard for other people’s personal space and time.
Don’t you all think that many people today are in a complete BUBBLE – trying to 9 things at once, cell phones surgically attached to ears, being distracted, not paying attention – and worse – not giving a damn.
I realize that every generation has had these complaints, but I think our society has hit an all-time low in terms of courtesy and consideration.
