Default Shopping Chaos !! What is wrong with people...

I had a skinful last night. I decided I would make myself a nice fry up and see if that will shift the hangover I have acquired.

I walked to the local supermarket, rather than spend ages faffing about defrosting the car.

Its like Dante's Inferno in their, screaming kids, p*ssed off adults, people everywhere, getting each others way. Bedlam... I negotiated my way round, picked up what I wanted, and then I saw the queues at the checkouts

It looked like a plague of locuts were sysmetically stripping the entire shop bare. Complete and utter panic buying...

Mental...

I often wonder what's wrong with people.

I was late into work yesterday, after following a complete ****ing idiot the 12 miles to work- at 15mph. No place to overtake at all, as traffic was busy coming the other way, not to mention overtaking could be a little bit risky in these conditions.

Supermarkets get on my nerves at the best of time, I try and go later on at night but sometimes it can't be avoided.

Because they can I blame the news for scaremongering again

My neighbour tried to buy bread the other day, none left. Asked one of the floor staff when the next delivery would be & he didn't know.

But he did say one woman had bought 15 loaves. Why:confus ed:

Hope shes got a big freezer otherwise its all going to go off.

Stupid stupid people

I have a bread maker

But why can't people bake their own bread, its not hard
