    Last week I was loading my groceries into the back of my car and a car honked at me to hurry up so they could have my space. So, I glared at her and took my sweet- *kitten* time finishing up. And then I sat in my car for a minute or 2 before backing out and leaving.

    I don't understand why people do this. They're going to wait a minute at the absolute minimum for you to finish and leave, why can't they just park a little bit further back? Parking 5 or 6 spaces down is probably quicker than waiting for someone. The only reason I'd wait for a spot would be if it was really busy and it was a really good spot. If they have some medical reason they need a close space, they should get a handicap placard. Rarely have I seen those fill up more than halfway.

    Although, I'm usually too impatient to wait for an elevator too. When it is just one floor, climbing is quicker.

    As a former Wal-Mart employee i spent forever zoning (cleaning up the shelves) and found so many things in the wrong section (I worked in pharmacy and found food, toys, clothes, etc). Customers are so messy. Also people would rip open adult diaper packages, etc to check out the product and would leave it behind and of course we can't sell it. Also found open it medicine where the customer took a dose or two without buying or empty boxes of shoplifted items.

    I've never had any issues at Walmart other than buying too many stupid superhero shirts. Maybe I go to the wrong ones

    I went to a rather seedy Wal Mart one day.

    A woman huffed down the store, screaming about her boyfriend's affair with someone working there.

    People who leave their carts in the lot to blow around and dent other cars and/or take up a parking space.

    I have never experienced most of these things at walmart in my area except for the screaming kids but the parents Ive seen ignore them and let them scream,the other is not enough registers open especially when its really busy.

    People who push their carts at a snails pace (causes me road rage, lol) or park their cart in the middle of the aisle where you can't get by.

    Snail pace cart pushers might be recovering from surgery or under the influence, so I don't get annoyed at them. I just say "...and Jones takes the lead.." as I speed walk by them.

    And people who park or drive the cart in the middle are hyper-focused on something else like the bad day at work or their upcoming arraignment, so I don't get annoyed at them. I just hide their cart one row over or if they are touching the cart but not looking, I just take something out of their cart as I nudge it to one side with my cart so I can get by.

    Now that I'm thinking about this, there is a chance that I might annoy people in Walmart.

    I avoid all this by never going to Walmart. Ever

    This. Going into a Walmart makes my blood pressure go through the roof! Plus my husband is a union man and has very strong opinions about their shady business practices. We haven't been to one in years. If we can't buy it at Target or the grocery store, then we don't need it.

    Park their cart in the middle of the aisle; walking slow; race you to the checkout

    Letting their kids create havoc all through the store is probably tops for me.

    I would never trip a kid.



    Hip check or a high elbow shot, sure.

    Trip, no.

    When people wear pants that don't stay up and I see their butt cracks when they bend or squat down to get something. Even worse when I see hair.

    Same issue I have pretty much anywhere I shop...people move at a snails pace and you're stuck behind them. I want to get in and get out no matter where I am...get the *kitten* out of the way already and move with at least a minimal sense of urgency...and for *kitten* sake, don't park your cart in the middle of the aisle while you decide whether or not you want whatever it is.

    People who think their poop doesn't stink because obviously when THEY shop in Walmart they're just passing through. Please. I am the people of Walmart.

    I avoid Wally World like the plague. True story, I was in line checking out and the lady in front of me had three items, and when they scanned each one she would argue the price. So they had to go price check each item. And NOT at the same time. She just kept saying, "well I saw a sign over there this was $x.xx" and when they wouldn't just give her a price she would say, well I don't want it if you aren't going to honor the price I saw. So three items, about 10 minutes of standing there, and she left with nothing yelling how Walmart was using false advertising to steal money.

    Remember kids, say no to crack.

    When someone's cart is blocking my path and they are oblivious even when I say excuse me! Or they are standing in the middle of the aisle chatting with neighbor/friend or whoever. Move it off to the side morons!
