Default Supermarket Sod's Law

Why does at least one thing you have in your basket have no barcode on it and cause a 5 minute wait while they get a replacement?

Why do Pensioners with trolleys use your ankles for target practice?

Why do "Friends Reunited" meetings always take place in front of the things you are trying to buy

Anyone got any more?

Why do I always pick the trolley with the dodgy wheel!

Why do children have to skid on their knees directly infront of me!

How come I always manage to pick the slowest checkout lady/man!

Why do people always stop and chat right by the doors?

Why do they then leave the trolly at 90 degrees to the shelves so you can't get past?

My recent favourite is when said barcode is missing and the till person pushes the red button and waits patiently for the "till manager" to come waddling over. If there's no reaction within a few seconds, I ask for the name of the till manager and yell it as loudly as I can! Gets an astonishing result every time!

Oh, and ladies, pyjamas are not acceptable to go shopping in. That little stain tells a long, sad story...

Why do the self service tills have such an annoying voice and why do they even need to give me so many flaming instructions. I hate being told what to do.

If I go to a staffed till why do I always get the twit who throughs the goods down faster than I can possibly pack.

Why do i really like that reference above to ladies in pyjamas and stains? Ha ha it's true

How come when you get back to your car in the pretty empty bit of the car park some **** in a twenty year old Escort has parked milimeters from your drivers door which they whacked when they squeezed themselves out?

Why do old coffin-dodgers go to supermarkets at midday when everybody who has a job is shopping in their lunchtime? The oldies could easily go in the morning or afternoon when the shops are quieter.

Nope, they are too busy clogging the roads, mways and public transport at these times.

Less slap= more time to put clothes on, also whats so fecking important at 9.30 am that can't wait another 5 mins to shove some jeans and a top on? It also implies that they are going back to bed when they get home, lazy c**ts .
