Wow, This is what some people get worked up over?

[Ron in Regina]

I already troll in real life. Last night leaving the Mandarin I asked the dumb blonde pushing her way into the restaurant if she gave any thought to waiting a second while the people leaving could make room for her in the restaurant.

It went over as well as you'd think. It ended with me laughing at her husband and my family dragging me away by my coat, lol.

My fav (not) is the parking lot at Costco. Same scenario.

You unload your cart into the truck, take the cart back, &
fire up your unit...& some tard is blocking your exit from
your own stall that you haven't left yet. Sitting in the middle
of the isle so nobody can pass him going either way, and
with his signal light on. OK....whatever, but now you can
only go out one way & that's into the nether regions of the
parking lot to end up behind those trolling for a spot still.

So you sit there & wait (pick a side of the road dude!), &
he sits there & waits. You turn on your own signal light so
he can clue in to just slide over a bit so you can at least
get out of the stall and leave without being shuffled to the
back of the lot. Dude just sits there as traffic piles up in both
directions now.

Now you get out, lean on your truck, fire up a dart, and watch,
and wait. Truck's running (Dut..Dut..Dut..Dut..Dut..Dut..) and
you're just leaning on it, waiting. You can't leave your stall now
anyway, as everything in the isle is goat-rodeo'd due to the one
same tard. Eventually, buddy will drive past, and you can pull
out like you need to, & someone else takes the spot. It is what
it is.....

You can have 10%.

I can work with that.

I'm using trained attack bears, but you'll get a key in the mail shortly.

Ok, good. I've got a good track record with bears, lol.

Any parking lot really. Parking lots, I've realized, are like Mad Max zones for motor vehicles. Rules do not apply. I've seen people, in their pick up trucks and SUV's driving over parking blocks to move through the parking lot! Never mind sticking to the right side of the lane, hell, who needs fu*king lanes! Lol.

But the one that drives me the most insane is, outside our Metro store which has a Tim Horton's inside of it, the park along the curb in front of the doors. Never mind that it's a fire lane and main driveway through the lot but they also tend to park right in front of the wheelchair ramp. Oh, but they'll only be a minute.

Douche. Bags. S'all I'm sayin'.

You guys just reminded me of why i don't shop...

I'd like to ask "Why can't people operate grocery carts like they drive" but they do.

You mean when they stop the cart dead center in the aisle and stand beside it, effectively blocking all traffic, while they decide between the Pork Rinds and the Funions?

Lol

I know people that get really offended by this, and maybe I'm overly cynical, but it seems to me that a lot of people that do this type of evangelizing are trying more to gain attention for themselves ("Oh look how devout they are! they put bible verses on their products!") than spread their religion or abide by it. I don't care. I didn't care about Chick-fil-A and their anti-gay marriage stance (although my wife and I have friends who were/are rabidly against it), I don't care about someone trying to "prove" how good of a Christian they are.

One customer reportedly used a touch of humor in questioning the point of the stickers on Facebook: "Third time in two weeks I've gotten a Bible verse sticker but NOT gotten part of my family's order from Sonic off 58th in Raymore. Thanks for the sermon, where are my cheese sticks?"

This would be my main issue with this happening to me: worry about the service you provide first, worry about your stickers second. If this was happening at place I frequented, I would stop patronizing the business, because if they don't care about my order (the reason they are IN business), they deserve to go OUT of business.

Or how they wheel around a corner at Mach 1 while looking in the opposite direction.

I tend to believe good Christians just live and love their God their way in peace with the world.

Hallelujah!! A good Christian (or whatever) you wouldn't even
know was a Christian (or whatever) unless you either asked
or ran into them in church. Period. Done. No preaching or
recruiting.

And don't try to preach to others and force their belief upon them!
That's the job of preachers not laypeople!

And that goes for all religions!

That's how you, Gh and ITN got me to stop hating Christians.

I just don't understand the being offended part. I can understand not liking or not appreciating something, not wanting to spend their dollars to support something they don't like or appreciate. But offended? That, to me, implies some kind of harm, and I fail to see the harm.

Annoyance is not harm.

Yep, or decide that the end of the aisle, where it usually narrows due to side displayers, is the best place to stop and evaluate their grocery life choices.

Amen to that.

When some people's meet and greet turns into a 15 minute conversation in the cereal aisle...I usually tell them that the store has a coffee shop and tables for that....

lol. Sounds like I really need to take you and Bear shopping with me.

"Grocery life choices" BWAAAHAHAHA!!!

 

[Twila]

The anti Christians get upset so easily. Just look at the ones that permeate this place, lol. They're hilarious.

How many of us are there? although I don't know how anti christian I am, since my husband is one...of sorts. He's actually a JW. Maybe I'm something other then anti-christian...part anti? portion anti?

feck it, labels are silly.

I bet you're a blast to go shopping with. In fact, you could quite possibly turn that into some kind of art form, dinner and a show type thing. I'd buy a ticket. You could serve moose, or venison, or rabbit...

They're both taller than me, and built the way I used to be. There's a reason why I burst into laughter when her husband got puffy and tried to intimidate me.

so, how tall are you? I've read a few comments now...and my mental image of you is currently of a grizzly bear on its hind legs, pretty sure that's not accurate. but not 100%

I'm using trained attack bears, but you'll get a key in the mail shortly.

SLM, wait for me, I'll bring a bucket load of honey and some salmon. We'll throw it to the bears and we'll be able to sneak past easy peasy.

Is that why Safeway has a Starbucks IN the store now? feck! that's bloody brilliant!

Superstore needs to bring in samplers so the people in the store will stop opening up the fecking food and poking their fingers in it, which I have personally seen twice. I now have to check ever single thing I try to purchase from there to see if it's been opened.

People ruin it for me. I'm tempted to move to the zoo.

Do get upset at bible verses stuck on bags of highly processed foods?

feck it, labels are silly.

That likely depends on what side of the label you're on, because guarantee you use labels all the time.

I bet you're a blast to go shopping with.

My wife would disagree.

Close, but think black bear.

Watch out for the laser guided bats.

Want to really have fun? Try escorting people in wheelchairs. Within minutes you'd be devising a plan to weld up a cow catcher or snowplow type contraption to the foot rests.

I tend to aim for the feet when I am asked to push.

Try and bounce off the Achilles' tendon, lol.

The city worker's rake at Pride was the best. It got him in the ear with an impressive "whack" to add to the suffering. It got applause

 

[taxslave]

So if they had a muslim working there would they have to accommodate by putting Koran verses on every third meal?

 

[Twila]

Do get upset at bible verses stuck on bags of highly processed foods?

no. I don't really get upset about much. Child and animal abuse is really about it.

I try very hard to avoid the use of labels. People are never static and that makes labeling a person rather slippery. I

Watch out for the laser guided bats.

What type of bats? I love bats. One of my precious memories is of camping with the hubby by a lake in Nahatlatch provincial park when a thunder storm came across the lake and poured. We sat in the tent and watched it through the flap, then because it had been so hot, the rain made this amazing fog that engulfed the lake after the rain. We sat and watched the bats fly in and out of the fog catching all the little bugs, as the sun went down.

Bats are marvelous creatures. Love them.
