The worst thing is trying to walk down a store aisle behind someone who is looking at and appraising each individual item like it's some sort of art gallery or something, which wouldn't be so bad, but they block off the whole aisle for everyone else.

Look, we're in the bread aisle.  You're like 70.  You already know what's there.  And don't kid yourself, you're ultimately going to grab yourself a loaf of bread just like the one you already had, just like we all do.  So just walk quickly until you see that one, grab it, then go.

These people get stuck in analysis or decision paralysis because they didn't have a plan walking into the store.  They just get mesmerized by all the different brands and varieties.  If you walk into the store with a very good idea of what you want, where to find it, and minimal drive for impulse buys, you walk out much faster and happier.

The shopping is an excuse to get out of the house.

The browsing is to see if anything better is available.

The moving slow is to show you jack ass kids who OWNS this aisle.

I generally try to go down aisles that are unoccupied, or at least very lightly occupied. If the one I want is too heavily occupied, I just shop another aisle first.

*gasps* So it is intentional!

And no, there's nothing better available.  The old fat cat who owns the company just cranks out the same thing in smaller packages or a worse thing in shinier packages.  Everything is marketing, not innovation.

Born under one law, to another bound;
Vainly begot, and yet forbidden vanity,
Created sick, commanded to be sound."

I will be 70 one month from today....hopefully....and I am aware of such profiles. But for me, it's women! For fuck sakes, your at the checkout with seventy items and you fucking wait until the goddamn thing totaled before you even reach over to grab your purse to finally dig out your debit/credit card. Jesus fuckin Christ I have mine in my hand to swip at the third item. Get the fuck outa my way!
