If you are a short little shit (like myself :laugh:), the items you need the most will always be on the top shelf where you can't reach them.

An extra long box of aluminum foil works surprisingly well in helping you access those unbreakable items you can't reach.


I carry a compact umbrella with a handle I can pull out full length to make a handy reaching tool!   :2thumbsup:

I just look for the cutest guy around and ask him to get it.  I particularly love it if I can drag him away from his young wife.  Oh, the thrill of a man who performs on demand!   :afterglow:

Who could resist a 4'11" lady in royal robes? Do you point with your scepter to indicate the items you want?  :laugh:

Bulk buy specials on frozen stuff that I'd never have enough room in my freezer for anyway.

People and their trolleys who stop right in front of the item you want to get from the shelf.

Looking at an item in an empty aisle, next thing you know four other people have come from nowhere and want the same thing you are looking at.

Obviously you are a trend-setter!  :viking:

It would be even more annoying if it escalated into a brawl, as it sometimes did in the days of the Cabbage Patch Kids!    :boxers:

The shopper who leaves the cart in the middle of the aisle and goes looking for sometning at the nether reaches of the world.

People who feel the need to poke and prod loaves of bread and bread rolls to see if they're fresh. I wish for my bread to be untarnished by human fingers.

I've sussed that out. If I see something I like and there are people around, I give it a passing glance, then focus on something else. It's amazing how if you look focused on something, others swarm to it....whilst they do that, I go back to my original 'kill'.

Hate shopping, but I always end up having to do it because everyone else would be happy to not go shopping, and live on takeaway :(
