Dragging shopping carts

[Anonymous]

"Guess you just drag this by the wirey part..." It's kind of like people who tie the arms of sweaters around their necks, like they think that is how you wear them- "Guess I'll just tie this on here... this is probably how you do it..."

I think it's clear the intent of the OP was to trash women in athleisure at the grocery store. The cart story ("every store I've been in!") was just a vehicle to bash the women OP hates.

I often do this and I’m too fat for lululemon. I do it because I’m short and once the top shelf is full it’s not easy for me to reach over it to place items in the larger part. Pulling the cart behind me makes it much easier to shop. It doesn’t require blocking an entire aisle though - I take up the same space; I’m just in front of instead of behind the cart.

Also, the worst shopping cart crime I see is people who are so exhausted with their lives that they drape their whole upper body over the top of the cart. I know you all know what I'm talking about.

This was the first sign that my MIL had cancer. Her back hurt so much she needed the cart for support. Maybe be a little kinder, OP.

I'm a moderately fit dad who does this sometimes. Since the pandemic, I will move the cart whichever way will keep the cart between me and the nearest person. If there are people behind me, I pull the cart. If there are people in front of me, I push the cart. If there are people in both directions, I keep the cart between me and the nearest person or the person who just has no boundaries and has to get something from the exact same part of the shelf as you and is too busy to wait for you to find what you need and has to reach across your face to get what she wants. Too many people in the supermarkets don't care anymore about social distancing, so I just use the cart to help me enforce social distancing around me as much as possible.

I only find this annoying when I am in Walmart on a Saturday afternoon.

Around two ‘o clock. 🤨

Yes, this, What's missing was that she drove off in a white SUV to pick her kids up from private school because she's clearly a SAHM.

I do that sometimes. Sometimes it's easier to maneuver.

What bugs me are the people who go down the aisle on the wrong side (left side).

It's like driving. Stay to the right, pass/go around someone on the left.

I have never seen this apart from very brief moments. Certainly not often enough to notice people doing it as a “thing.”

The worst grocery store behavior is when people are shopping with their whole family, multiple kids in tow (usually tweens/teens), and they stand in the whole checkout aisle in front of you so you have no room to unload your cart until they decide to leave.

Plus, people who pretend to be oblivious that they are not in their living room - park in front of a section, blocking it, on purpose, or park in the middle of the aisle: First time out of the house?

I've stopped shopping on Saturday because that's when the men shop. Men do this. All. The. Time.

Mostly because they're on the phone with DW asking "They have non-fat and low-fat. Do you want vanilla? Or plain? They have little ones and the big ones, do you want a big one?" ARRRRRGGGGG

Lol. You should try not getting upset when others don't follow the rules you've made up in your mind. (The grocery store is not the freeway..
)

Yep, my mom has spinal stenosis. She gets relief when she bends over.

We need photos of the perpetrators, definitely.
