Shopping Nightmare

Have you ever been shopping and felt like everyone else was out to get you?  Some days every single person that passes me drives me nuts!!!  We went shopping at the outlets yesterday and I definitely was getting irritated by some dummies.

 You can generally find the following shoppers:

1) The Inconsiderate Shopper: This shopper often will position their shopping cart or bags in the way.  They know you're there, they see you, yet they won't move until they're done shopping.

2) The Oblivious Shopper: This shopper often will stand in the middle of the isle looking around aimlessly.  They're generally very apologetic when they finally realize that they've inconvenience you but it takes them awhile to figure it out.  In this category I would also lump in the families that love to walk down the aisle side by side, thus blocking the entire aisle.  There is no passing these families as they don't understand the concept of a single file line.

3) The Aggressive Shopper: This shopper is one of the worst.  They will literally grab items from underneath your hand, use their shopping cart or baby carriage to nudge you away from the items they want to get to.  I hate these shoppers.

4) The Hoverer: This shopper likes to shop way too close to other people.  They are borderline aggressive but have enough dignity to wait until you're done.  Unfortunately they like to wait while standing only inches away.

5) The Bored Boyfriend/Husband: I feel for these guys.  They somehow end up shopping with their significant other and are required to stand by close.  These guys sometime end up being the Oblivious Shopper.  Its so annoying to want to go through a rack of clothing but not being able to because some guy has parked himself firmly against that rack so he can check the score of a football game.

6) The Wild Kids: Oh geez.  I know some people won't like this label but hear me out.  If your kids don't want to be at the store, listen to them.  Screaming kids make a shopping experience for them, yourself, and other shoppers a nightmare.  Have a family member or friend babysit them or do online shopping.  ALSO... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep an eye on your kids.  Its completely inappropriate to allow your kids to tear apart a department store just because they're board.  Also, please know where your child is at all times.  I know, they have minds of their own, and they love to run around and hide, but there are A LOT of creeps out there.  It freaks me out when I see a kid walk away from their parents and no one notices.

7) The Line Stopper: Okay, this shopper usually has a ton of items they want to purchase but there's something wrong with each item.  Maybe there's a price tag missing on one, a stain on the other, they want to know if there is a size available in this style, yadda yadda yadda.  People, a lot of this stuff can be addressed before going to the checkout line.  Many stores will handle issues with clothing via their sales associates scattered throughout the store or even in customer service/dressing room.  Only get in line for the checkout when you are ready to check out.
