You're asking the wrong person. I'm somebody believes that sometimes it's prefectly acceptable to respond in kind. Especially if it's somebody like Dawn who is always trying to press buttons.

cardaway, was it NOT you who said they took notice of what people put in thier carts and who was pushing them? were you noticing the 120 lb, sized 6 young woman with her stalks of celery? just wondering. there was no attempt to push anyones buttons. the OP wasn't directed towards anyone here.

I tend to notice them more.

i don't blame you. edited to add, that was actually funny!

I'm one of those hanging over the carts every once in awhile people. It's usually because my back is getting sore for some reason or another. I use the cart to stretch out or I have to squat behind the cart in the aisle to also stretch my back out.

How people stand at the cart doesn't bother me. What bothers me in the grocery store is people who eat their produce before they pay for it while shopping. Hmmm...how are you gonna weigh what you ate? Those are the people that tick me off.

She said from the beginning she was talking about posture, not weight.

Then the "ample proportions" part should have been left out of the original post.

I did go to the grocery store last night and about halfway through I found myself draped over my grocery cart! Why? I have absolutely no idea. It was more comfortable for browsing, I suppose. I straightened up pretty quickly once I realized what I was doing.

Funny thing is, before yesterday, I wouldn't have thought twice about it. Now, I'm aware that there might actually be someone caring how I push my cart at the store. Until then, I never considered that anyone would even notice.

And everybody..........listen up now:

I was remembering the comment and thinking it was geared towards the obese, although I do recall you agreeing, so maybe a truce should be called.

Honestly, a big butt is a big butt whether it's hunched over a shopping cart or jiggling while walking upright.

Thanks alot, now I have the song I Like Big Butts (or whatever it's called) running thru my head.

Maybe because they can't walk any other way? Maybe because they have a medical problem (back, hips, sciatica, etc) that makes that the most comfortable way to walk. I guess they should be more concerned with being as attractive as they can to you, than their own comfort.

My mum sometimes used the cart as a "crutch" before she had her knee replacement surgrery. Sometimes on bad days she still does. Never crossed my mind that it would offend anybody.

Have you read the entire thread? I had nothing better to do, and I did. Believe me, as much as I disagree with Dawn... some posts directed to her are really insulting.

Now I'll take my "ample" but out of this thread.

That may be true, but my ample butt and I haven't been here that long and we know enough not to click on a thread started by Dawn unless we want to be insulted or read about someone else being insulted.

Of course, when it hits about twenty pages, my ample butt and I check in for fun. It's kinda like reading the Enquirer. You know you shouldn't, but you just can't help it.

OK. You and your ample butt are smarter than the average bear.

But you did click on it, so now you are just as bad as the rest of us.

Totally unimportant to the conversation but it just dawned on me the name of the song going thru my head is actually called Baby Got Back. It is one of those songs that will not die, my 14 year old nephew knows every word.
