- The scabby aisle inspection. Distrust that they actually might be selling you something horrific.
- Eggs are never being where you expect them to be.
- Romantics. Standing arm in arm looking at pasta sauces. Oh how things change...
- Repetitive deals. You've offered me 2 for 1 on Cheddar, prawns & Pizza Express pizza for the last year. It doesn't excite me.
- 'Basing' - planting your trolley somewhere and using it as a base-point to grab items in the surrounding area.
- Trolley Confusion Guilt (often occurs when basing) - the awful embarrassment/shame you feel on thinking someone else's trolley is your own.
- Give Away Item - the one key piece, often nappies, which saves you from actually putting your stuff in their trolley.
- Self check-out abuse. It's impossible to complete a transaction without it shouting at you about items in the bagging area.
- Treats. Every big shop deserves a treat.
- Supersizers - people who get massive everything, you picture 10 screaming kids at home
- Too much for a basket. Too little for a trolley. Middle sized shops are a a no-mans-land.
- Forgotten item dash. Requires one person to be the dashers, while their partner 'stalls at the till'.
- Loyalty Card shame - Have you get a loyalty card? no sorry I forgot it. No need to be sorry.
- Token drunk - Two cans of special brew. One reduced-price pastie from the scabby aisle. Zero shame.
- Disbelief at an item not being there. 'There's no rocket!' you exclaim, as if saying it makes it true.
- Purchase pride. You're so chuffed with the delicious thing you've got for tea that you pick it up and admire it at the check-out.
Sometime, about a year ago, I suddenly started hating the tube. 2 minutes at a signal and I am freaking out.
To take my mind off things I begun writing lists, each inspired by my journey on the underground.
