Saturday Shopping Horror

So it's Saturday and shopping needs to be done because stores are closed on Sunday and it's a nice day. The sun is shining, it's 25 degrees celcius in my house, 20 outside and holy craptastic 600 f*cking oven degrees celcius in my car. But hey, I need to the car to transport the heavy stuff like... drinks, drinks, drinks and stuff like that you get the point. You could also say that I'm lazy, but I'd simply deny it.
Anyway, I head over to the store and its the first time in a long time that I am confronted with the stupidity that is people in a busy store. Everyone is doing groceries for the weekend and stuff and no-one and I mean absolutely no-one is keeping the other persons around them in mind. So I got my cart and went inside the store, first encounter.
There is this woman standing next to the fruits and vegies, looking for something healthy to eat apparently although she could use a few thousand hamburgers to replenish her fat supplies. Next to her is some kid screaming in a kid trolley which is conveniently parked in the middle of my fucking path. The alternative path was fat guy looking for something healthy and whiny kids running around, so I waited a while untill this woman finally made a pick. Not even a second did it cross her mind that she was blocking the path for a whole bunch of people. But okay, I'm patient (and stupid) and don't say a thing. Finally she's done and I can continue my journey.
After getting some yum yum chicken and some bread for lunch tommorow I head for the fast food section. But not before my entire path is blocked by another mom with her two whiny kids, blocking not only my passage but also that of at least 5 other people standing on the other sides of her. I find another way around and look at the other people who are clearly as annoyed by her as I am but say just as little. The fast food section was surprisingly quiet so I quickly loaded in some bags of chips and moved on to... hit another full out traffic stop. This time it's an entire family blocking everyones path. Father, mother and two kids are COMPLETELY blocking the entire fucking isle with their kids and their cart while they are going over their 1 mile long shopping list to if they have everything. I dunno why no-one complains about this, including me, but it must have been the weather or something because everyone was once again taking a major detour around these people.
After another 4 of this kind of encounters I finally reach the kass register line where, unlike usual, everything seems to go like it should for once. No-one has some last minute stuff to grab, everyone has enough money to pay their stuff, the girl actually knows what she's doing and people are quick... no wait damnit, thats whats wrong. People are SLOWWWW!!!!! Somehow it takes 20 minutes for someone to fit a cart full of stuff into a couple of bags. Even if it's just a few things people somehow take extremely long to put it in a bag. But sure, except that it went pretty smooth.
Finally I could get the hell out of there and back to my car, which was by now probably passing the 1000 degrees celcius mark so if I wasn't fast my car would start melting. And since my car was parked on the roof of the store I had to get the elevator up there since I had a cart with me. So I push the button... and I push it again... and again... and the damn thing won't come down! I can see it trough the glass shaft being at the other floor. Eventually it comes down and 3 guys step out. No cart or anything, just to lazy to take the bloody stairs and holding my elevator for 4 fucking minutes.

Well I made it home luckily. God I hate Saturday shopping...
