I went and read that thread... that was kinda stupid! If anything, the mods kept stirring up the fire! And the only reason it was closed is because it was getting on someone's nerves. I saw nothing in that thread that would warrant closing it... civil discussion was all I saw.

People who block entire grocery store isles. That pisses me off big time. Its like the store is open just for them.
Me too... I just stand there and stare at them (tapping my foot) until they get the hell out of my way.

Lol...
The Mods & Admins have the power to silence the masses. They are like spoiled children when they don't get their way, and their little undies get in a bunch. BTW, they don't like that little cliche either. I wonder which one of them will be the first to defect and join our ranks of misfits. We're damn sure a lot more fun than some of those stuffed shirts.
YOU, passive-aggressive, sattie? No way! LOL!
I say " 'scuse me", softly, politely and with a smile. If that doesn't work, I yell it, no smile.

Yea... it is kinda like we are all treated like 1st graders over there. Teachers check our posts for spelling and grammer....
Lily... my friend, he just mows over those display boxes with his cart and makes a mess! You can tell when he is in the store! "Clean up on asile 3" "Clean up on asile 8" ummmm "Clean up on asile 4"

Now, see, I wish I could get diner food in that poshier atmosphere.
Speaking of small portions of good food, stacked on smears, has ironchef made it over here yet?

Ok... here is how I see it, when I shop at the grocery store, I'm aware that I am not the only one there so I do watch for people and get out of their way when I see them coming. Since I go through the trouble of trying to be courteous to others while I am shopping, I expect the same. I have had people even look at me as I am coming and just stand there with their cart sprawled across the aisle. I'm usually very nice, but after a bit... I do tend to get irritated with folks.
OH OH OH... I was shopping one time and my cart was full and heavy... so I'm trying to push this monster and this ding-dong came flying out of the aisle with his cart (on his cell phone) and turned right in front of me, making me stop. All he had to do is wait till I got by! I almost chased him down... I was gonna run his azz over with my cart!!!

I remember growing up with the family biz. We thought we were hot stuff because whe had beepers! A box the size of a cash register that would beep and blink a red light. No screen...no number to call. You just called the office number when it went off.
Our first cell phone looked like this.....
...and cost like $600 for 2 minutes. Was like holding a suitcase up to your noggin.

Something else that is irking me right now is THIS
18B in bonuses! To the very people who screwed it all up to begin with.. with the GOVT bailout money....
So basically I see it like this... my tax$ went to reward the dude who made my paycheck and my scant investments shrink... meanwhile we are closing fire engines, libraries and talking about reducing trash pick up (which only happens once a week)
Wow I wish I got a big sweet bonus when I messed up a project.

Well I had 3 son's and a daughter but in those days only hard line telephones where available. I had a set rule in my house no phone calls made or received after 9 PM. Well I got woke up at 11:30 one evening by some 12 year old girl wanting to speak to my son. I was polite and told her he as in bed asleep and to call back before 9 PM the following day and hung up. The phone woke me up again about 1 AM and when I answered I go the blast of an air horn in my ear, end of phone for the next 14 years. I tore the phone off the wall and the lines out of the house at before I went to back to bed. Needless to say to this day I see someone with one of those hand held air horns I want to give them a free full contact karate lesson.
