I'm with you on that one but apparently my husband is more of the pretend variety. There have been times when I have considered investing in a cattle prod as it takes too long with a taser as you have to remove the end.
 
Yep, I'm one of those that look around them, over their shoulder and ask them 'please excuse me' if they are taking too **** long! Can't have people just hanging around taking their time, where DO they think they are?
 
I agree with you popsy BUT I have to have time to read the labels

i think im too polite, if i see someone wanting my spot and im label studying, i i move off and return when theyve gone so im not under pressure

As recently diagnosed, shopping takes me 3 times as long as I study the carb count of everything I buy! ;-)
 
Takes me longer to shop now, reading small print , I know all the people are watching me .....
 
When I go in the city I have a modern shopping trolley, called my wheelie bin !!!! Why does everyone trip,over it's wheels then blame me as I say sorry to them ....do pushchairs have the right of way.....may have to get one
I can also get a lot of shopping in the wheelie, it's like a ruck sack on wheels ......

My record is 2 1/2 hours to look for snacks I could have... Ended up with nuts. Counted towards my exercise though, must have covered about 2 miles going round the store five times!

I have noticed many more people reading labels instore recently so I don't really feel odd or different. Have struck up a couple of conversations with some pleasant people. Keep it going I say.
