A supermarket observation.

[Tigger&Belle]

This is what I do and then I run it up on my own ankles. I have nobody to post about but me.

I irritate myself so much.

OT, but how are you doing today, lumpy?

 

[DawnCt1]

But apparently you missed the most important part of my post.....the part where you realise its not something you should be worrying about!

Maybe your next post should be about "those fat people who only grunt at you when you say hello!

i don't recall saying "those fat people", i believe those are your words. btw, i am not worried about it. i stand up straight.

 

[RobinMarie]

I walk like this all the time when I get groceries. Im a 19 year old guy with a BMI of 23.

Sorry, you don't count.

Still lumpy! DH is calling me frog lady.

I don't think the meds are working and have another appointment at 9am Monday.

I like to eat too much for this!

Absolutely...I used "fat" instead of "ample proportions" Just paraphrasing. I guess it is more PC to complain about people of "ample proportions" than fat people. I think its just as offensive though.

I've never seen that.

I've never seen anyone doing that either.

 

[kdibattista]

I do that when my sciatic is acting up... like today in ACME. Never realized someone would be taking notice

 

[letterdavidman]

why do women, (its always women) who seem to walk briskly into the supermarket, unaided, use the cart as a walker once they get inside. i have seen MORE women of "ample" proportions drape themselves over the cart so their arms extend up along the sides of the cart and travel up and down the aisles. an observation; THIS IS NOT ATTRACTIVE!

You must live in a very colorful area.

I've never seen that. Ever.

I'm usually too busy letting my kids empty out the freezer cases and play pineapple bowling in the produce aisle to notice anything else.

Back when I had sciatica, I wanted to ride in the cart, not just on it. It's such a pain in the butt, literally.

 

[hornedfrog]

I have never noticed that. I even worked in a grocery store for 3 years when I was in high school. It wouldn't bother me if I did notice it, though. Way too many more important things keep my mind busy.

I know... I look like I'm walking with a really, exaggerated fake limp . It's horrible, I KNOW it's not attractive and I really don't need it pointed out to me

 

[katerkat]

I've never really noticed anyone doing that, but I know I do it myself. I lean over the cart to talk to the toddler at eye level. Don't really care if someone as a problem with my butt.

 

[lindalinda]

Completely OT- but on grocery store cart etiquette, how many of you step on the back of the cart and ride it down the little ramp on the way out of the store?

I have to remind myself not too.

 

[pjb_hockey_mom]

Not only do I do that, but I do it in my pajamas! yup, I'm one of those who will go to the store in my pjs. Not sure why, but it makes my mother crazy.

I ride it around sometimes. Sometimes I hit old hags blocking the aisle.

Haven't you taught them tomato volleyball yet?

No! I'll have to try that one!

I'm sure this would have made for great Dis conversation:

We were remodeling our kitchen back when mine was really, really acting up. We spent a LOT of time at Lowe's and Home Depot and those concrete floors just about killed me!

One day, DH was spending entirely too much time getting plumbing materials, and I needed a place to sit (never thought about the stupid basket, darn it!). My sciatica hurt most when I was standing.

Sooooo...

I sat on a display toilet.

I think I sat there for about 15-30 minutes. I endured the stares of just about everyone that walked by.

I did try to place only one butt-check on it, so that it wouldn't look like I wasn't sitting on a toilet, but let's face it, there's just no good way to sit on a toilet in public and look cool.

 

[lesroi]

please don't misunderstand, it doesn't offend me in the least, it doesn't bother me. it was just an observation. i would also hazard a guess that if some of these women could actually seem themselves from behind, they might stand up straight. i know i would.

Wow. You might look nice on the outside, but I think you are very ugly inside.
