Triple take

Random ramblings of a British guy that's moved to Australia. And now back to UK.

Tesco, Sainsbury, Asda, you need to employ guards to shoot these people

Why do some people leave shopping trolleys in parking bays at the supermarket?! That really pisses me off. I spot an "empty space", mirror (yeah), signal (if you're lucky!) and manoeuver (do that bit) into space. Then realise there's a bloody trolley stopping me pulling into it. In a "good" version of this there is no car in the space opposite so I can nudge the trolley out of the way with my car. In the normal situation there is a car on both sides and in front. So I have to switch to reverse, and by that time the impatient bastards behind me have invariably blocked my exit route. Bah! By the time someone finally pauses to let me out it's because they were so far back in the queue they didn't see me pull in, and they think I'm now leaving a "valid" parking spot. So the evil cycle continues.

Btw. If I ever do manage to nudge the offending bloody trolley out of the way in order to park, I DO then take the trolley into the shop with me or return it to a trolley park - I don't leave the problem in someone else's parking spot. Really. Believe what you want.

Also btw., If the cycle does start again with someone pausing to let me out of a "trolley polluted" spot I DO hand gesture frantically to try and let them know the spot is no good. Rooted. Useless. This usually results in concerned looks that suggest the wearer is thinking something like: "Should I abandon parking and inform the police that a loon is about to leave tesco/sainsbury/asda carpark...?"

Have a good night y'all. I'll try and post as often as possible even if it is shit like this....
