I despise supermarkets. I hate the P.A system, the wonkey trolleys, the ignoarant staff. My real bug bear however is the rude people who think it is their shop so park their trolley right across the middle of the aisle! well I have had enough of these idiots so decided that I'd teach them a lesson. When another customer rudely abandons their trolley in the middle of the aisle, preventing anyone else from gaining access, I simply hide their trolley! That's right I steal their trolley and hide it in another aisle. It's so much fun seeing them return to the scene of the crime with a gormless look on their face, scratching their head and trying to figure out what's happened to their shopping. I realise that this is a childish thing to do but my logic is that if I keep doing it then reports of the trolley thief will scare shoppers into having a little more consideration for others and stop blocking the biscuit aisle. I suggest we all unite in this radical new movement and make supermarkets everywhere a happier place to be!

haha, the best part is, probably none of them suspect any foul play and just start questioning themselves going "i swear i left my cart right here" "where did it go?"
Always play with their minds!

Ha! good on you! Not only is it extremely irritating to find a trolley like this, it also makes it difficult for me to get around because I use a wheelchair to go shopping. I'm sure this bugs other physically disabled people too. I like the idea of chucking expensive but useless stuff into their trolley. I can just imagine the gormless look on their face when they get to the till... 'But I didn't put this in here...' (have extra special fun around the medicine aisles (condoms...). Heck, we all do childish things sometiems, as long as it isn't hurting anyone!

I get home delivery, I can't cope with supermarkets, the smells, the constant activity, the noise, the stress and the people that stand too close in the queue.

Oh yes, the wonky trolleys :x

Hide their trolley? thats HILARIOUS :D

I have an answer to this problem. Don't wear deodorant. People soon move away!

I have thought about home delivery. Is it worth the extra cost?

The problem with home delivery is that they seem to give you food that's very close to the use by date. I've been given bread that was one day before the use by date before. I don't think the order pickers even check, they just grab the first one on the shelf whereas I'd have a good old rummage.

Unless the person behind you, standing wayyy too close, isn't wearing deodorant.

It doesn't work then:p

Nothing gets them keeping a wide distance faster than an autie head banging the checkout,punching their head or speed rocking in a cue! am go through it everytime in sainsburys because of the overload and fall to the floor in a meltdown or seizure when that damn overloud and overused PA system goes off,have two support staff with self so maybe they think am on day release from moorside [the local pysch unit].

Trystania,
great work,especially at managing to do it without being seen.
people should need licences to drive those things,supermarkets should not be like krypton factor.

Tell you what might be funnier: something embarrassing and rude and hide it so it gets discovered at the checkout.

Yeah, like I said, condoms. Try and find a REALLY embarrassing one too with 'exotic flavours' or something. If you're in the clothing department and it is a man blocking your way, find some extra skimpy thong underwear for ladies!

Also back to the queue problem, sometimes thrashing randomly and blaming it on your Tourettes is a good idea... unless you don't have TS...

It is for me because if I went shopping and had to get a taxi cab back home, then it would work out the same. The supermarket I shop with has always given me good food with plenty of days left on the use/sell by date. It is one of the most expensive supermarkets though but there again they do deliver everything you put on the list and they have hourly slots which is better than a cheap shop where they only give you two hour slots and miss things off the list, that is sooooo inconvenient. I also get The Times newspaper free on the day they deliver and sometimes they put free gifts in, one time I got a free bottle of wine :D

Thats not fair to the staff who have to bag your groceries or check your stuff out at the till.I worked at a grocery store in a small town for 2 years, and we have had some foul smelling customers.Some have smelt so bad , a person would want to hurl.There was one really smelly guy, who is called STINKY STEVE by every fast food worker, and every store clerk in the town

But as far as the shopping carts go...stick embarrassing things like condoms, Depends (adult diapers), and laxatives in the cart.

Lollage! I do that with my friends, and film it on his phone from a distance!
What I also do is put stuff like condoms in but bury them at the bottom where they can't see them, and then see the look on their faces at the checkout when they pull it out! :lol:
