Now fun is fun and all but you are getting pretty close to the line with this one Conrad. After all, that IS my wife you are talking about!
I would put a ROFLMAO emoticon here but the sad truth is that that is the sad truth. :-(
Been shopping for 40 years and the whole operation is still full of surprises such as 1) Move your cart so that woman can get around you. 2) Move your cart so that man can get around you. 3) Do not leave your cart cross- wise in the middle of the aisle because neither that woman nor that man can get by you. 4) That man is staring at you and would like you to move.... again, just like seven feet ago in this aisle. 5) That man cannot get by you, you have to move your cart. 6) That woman would like to look at / pick up something that is behind the cart you abandoned in front of the milk. 7) That man would like to look at / pick up something that is behind the cart you abandoned in front of the cereal display. And after this, it starts to get repetitive.
It is not averace, nastiness or even a cavilier attitude that causes this, it is the fact that she is all alone in the store and there is no one else trying to do anything around her. Oh wait, there IS a human trying to get around my cart! Who'd a thunk it? Wow, I have never seen another human in a store before. And so forth.....
Without a firm hand steering reality, chaos will take over and run things. And that is never, ever pretty.

The folks wondering aimlessly with their carts are irritating for sure but what's REALLY irritating is when these idiots leave their carts in the middle of the damn aisles while they check out something on the shelf.
