Things that annoy you more than they should

[Squarebear]

Supermarket shoppers who pick stuff up then deposit it in random aisles.

Lidl earlier. I was in the hardware section (gardening stuff, drill attachments etc). And there in amongst it is a big bag of carrots.

Presumably some well-intentioned vitamin A junkie got distracted by a welding mask and chose to dump his carrots in favour of spending his evening with a blow lamp and a bit of solder.

This has annoyed me more since become a parent, but people who use parent and child car parking spaces when they don’t have a child with them. The older generation (say 50+) seem to absolutely not give a f*ck. By extension, people using disabled spots in the same way.
There should be a permit for parent/child spaces that you apply for a bit like a blue badge.

Similar thing when they've got something like an XXL family bag of crisps on offer near the check out. The rack always has a sprinkling of regular size family packs in it, deposited by folks who have decided to spend 60% more for double the amount of crisps.
And why not? There's always another notch on the belt

I've been on the receiving end of abuse by the parental parking police for that offence in Lidl Hereford in the past. I'm one of the over 50s who doesn't give a f*ck.
Would never take a disabled space, though.

It's parent and child. When I was 60 and my late mother was 88, that was ok surely?

When you’re in a busy car park, it’s not so much the distance to the shop (although it does mean you haven’t got kids/prams being hauled on the roads through the car park) it’s the extra space either side of the car to get babies in and out safely with a pram by the side.

I’m sure you wouldn’t mind someone denting your door while trying to lug things around next to your car though.

I get mild enjoyment from calling folk out when I see this happen, and in the majority of cases I think my point is accepted. Both of my kids are well beyond car seat territory, but I don’t forget the struggles of getting them strapped in whilst the rain poured down.

The parent and child spaces should be right at the back of the car park as far away from the store as possible especially for young mothers so they can walk the baby fat off.

Worse behaviour in supermarkets is when people pick up chilled or frozen items and then leave it on a non refrigerated shelf. Item then has to be thrown as you can't guarantee freshness anymore and results in higher prices

Without question people walking along having a conversation on loud speaker. Talk on the phone like a civilised person you idiot.

 

[Jack The Hack]

People who diss other people's efforts without actually lifting a finger themselves

I'm with you on that one, it's just selfishness by an entitled few.

Tend to shout out about them forgetting their child when they walk away.

That's embarrassing.

Not arguing, replied to your post which quite frankly is embarrassing for a man or your age.
