{Day 48: Rebecca} Things I hate about shopping

(aka Becca has a whinge because she had to go shopping)

1. All the people crammed into one building
2. It's so loud, no matter what time of day
3. Queues that don't move
4. People who answer their phone at the checkout
5. Rude/bored salespeople
6. Hard floors
7. Fluoro lights
8. Prams/trolleys running up your feet
9. People who stop mid-corridor to have a chat
10. People who don't respect directional corridor etiquette
11. Trolleys with dodgy wheels
12. Trolleys that squeak
13. People who just leave their trolleys anywhere
14. Crying babies - I have no problem with crying babies in public. They're babies, they cry, but come on - clearly this is not a baby happy environment!
15. Gross public bathrooms
16. Having to line up for gross public bathrooms
17. Finding out I don't have cash at a place that has no eftpos
18. Having to find something to buy because I'm 10c too short for minimum eftpos
19. Finding parking
20. Being in the store ten minutes too long and having to auction off your kidney to pay for parking
21. Sticky floors
22. People who leave their kids in the car
23. Shopping with people who don't have a list, or even worse...
24. Shopping with people who DO have a list but it's all jumbled and out of order
25. Holiday shopping
26. Coin operated rides
27. Wet trolleys
28. Running into students from school
29. Getting stuck behind slow walking people
30. Items without price tags or with dodgy barcodes
31. Self-serve machines
32. How the self serve machine always have the longest line
33. Servers that ignore kids
34. Plastic bag smell
35. Rush hour shopping with only aisle open
36. People who decide not to buy things and then put them down in weird places
37. Wet shoes and squeaky floors
38. Underestimating and having to carry a very heavy basket because you didn't get a trolly
39. When people push a trolley into the express lane
40. Store people who hover and not let me browse
41. How as soon as you get home you remember something else you needed
42. The infernal shopping dance - put items in trolley > take out of trolley and put on counter > take off counter and put in trolley > take out of trolley put in car > take out of car and put on table > take off table and put away. Surely there is a better system?
43. The after school rush of kids and parents
44. How there is always a line at the post office, no matter when I go
45. Pushy sample people
46. Spending money (I want to keep it!)
47. The gross smell of the milk fridge
48. Parking lot rage.
