Administrators Eric Posted October 6, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2018 When did I become such a crotchety old bastard? When I go grocery shopping, especially on the weekend(Like a dumbass), I always leave feeling like I want to beat someone with a hammer. I know I have a temper, but those stores are complete anarchy. Everyone is so damned self-absorbed and self-entitled. They will run into while looking at their damned phones, or look you right in the eye while they cut you off. They just don't care. I know I am a big part of the equation, in as much as my anger is concerned, but people were not always like this in public. It is natural to view the past through the sepia-toned filter of nostalgia sometimes, but I can't be that wrong about this. People are really getting worse. Excuse me while I go kick something. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) I hear you, amigo. I would rather walk barefoot across burning glass than go to the store. Edited October 6, 2018 by tous glass. Buring lass is just wrong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedreams Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 LOL................ That is why I go grocery shopping early Sunday morning before most are out of the pajamas. I see the same people most of the time and they are there for the same reason. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWguy Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 My local giant grocery outlet place is filled with college students. At least after they cut you off, you get to ogle a coed's half naked ass. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silentpoet Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I knew a guy in his late 80s who would only shop at like 7 am on a sunday morning. He shouldn't have even been driving but he would get out every week or two to do his shopping. Right now I've got a nasty case of bronchitis and I seriously considered getting in the fat cart at walmart and driving around when I picked up my antibiotics and a couple of other things. But I have more self respect than that. I figured I would rather die than be caught in one of those. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaBud Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I used to love shopping. Local Publix has more MILFs than you can stand. Now, I have mobility issues, usually use a cane. I can do without the looks of pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenoF250 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Yeah, costco has always been terrible for this. I was just at a national park and it seemed about 70% of the people there were Japanese who wanted to get a selfie across the heavily traveled path where there wasn't even anything to see. Did I wait for their pictures? No, and told my family to do the same. When we wanted pictures we setup for them out of the way, did them quickly and moved on. Most people seem unaware anyone else exists. On a very similar note, I have vowed to trample the next **** head who thinks I am supposed to somehow move out of the way for them because they want to walk 3 abreast on a path just wide enough for 3. I think I will stare right at them and then say "you better move" from about 10 feet away. I am not packing 250 pounds around to move for some 80 pound snowflake.

Trust me, none of the coeds from there have anything you'd want to look at, and if it does seem reasonably shaped they probably aren't the gender you think they are... 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I do almost all of my grocery shopping after 10:00 pm or before 7:00 am. I hate the mindless hoards that will roam the aisles glued to their phone then pick an argument with the cashier over the price of spinach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinge Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 If they are open, it is between 6 am and 7 am on a weekday for me. If I go later, I want to chock some of them out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d sooner have people ask who the idiot was than get pitting looks. I was young then, and since I have also become a crotchety old man, I’m still that way. 40 minutes ago, RenoF250 said: Yeah, costco has always been terrible for this.

Al Czervik Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I don't enjoy shopping, but it is part of what I do, as I do 99.9% of the cooking. Whole Foods is always enjoyable with respect to ogling some nice posteriors. One local supermarket will give you a glass of wine with which to shop. It is also right next to the college, which also affords one an eyefull of choice spandex clad butts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneshotonepill Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 At my local grocery store , here in good ol' Austin, TX, I feel like I'm the only person using my own money to buy groceries. We live in a very "latin" neighborhood. My wife and I witnessed several people with carts filled with meat, tortillas, sodas, etc. They paid for it using multiple Lonestar cards (food stamps). When we were leaving the parking lot, we saw them loading it all into a taco truck. If she would have stopped like I told her, I would have ended up in jail.
