Oh no no, I just mean the parents that make no attempt at all to control their kids. They just bring them to the store and expect everyone else to babysit for them. I don't get annoyed at the kids, I get annoyed at the irresponsible parents!

I have a few pet peeves at the grocery store.  The first are people who decide to stop their cart right smack in the middle of the aisle and abandon it to go to the shelf.  No one can then get down from either direction, and when you say "Excuse me" when trying to get through, they act like you are inconveniencing them, or give you a dirty look.  Umm, can't you just pull the cart to the side when you stop so people can get through?

The other big one are people who are just walking around coughing and sneezing in the air with no regards to the others in the store.  I don't need to inhale your cold, flu, or other germs, or have it spewed on my products. So, please cover your coughs and sneezes into your elbows.  I don't think that's much to ask.

Boy oh boy! What really fries my cookies at the grocery store are those people who put their filthy hands in the fresh bread bins and touch all over the bread. I hate that whenever I see that it makes me want to scream at that person or at least give them a really dirty look. I want to yell out we all want some bread not just you. Well that's my pet peeve :angry7: :angry7: :angry7:

i cant stand when people are using coupons, but wait until they get to the checkout to dig them out! i understand everyone wants to save mone and am all for coupons but if you need to use them, have them ready for the cashier when you get to the register!

I think I have most of the pet peeves listed here and more, lol. But to add to the list, I also don't like it when someone parks their cart somewhere, and wanders off to grab something, and the cart is inevitably blocking off something I need. At least move your cart off to the side. Be courteous!

I would just like to apologize for having small children at the grocery store! I didn't know we were such a nuiscance. I always clean up after my kids and they are generally well behaved, but toddlers actions in public are sometimes hard to predict. I would never scream at my children and there are always consequences for poor behavior. I wonder if you non-parents would like to baby-sit while mothers go grocery shopping? Yeah, I didn't think so.  :notworthy: to all of you who never forget anything and don't have kids!

I don't let things get to me much but when I go to the gros. store to buy my food I get really upset when I come upon the tomatoes to find that each and everyone of them have been, pinched,Squeezed,bruised,lacerated, & over all just damaged! It maybe a little thing to be upset about but think about germs that people carry unknowingly with them. You don't know what's in some1's finger nails as they squeeze the tomato. I think if you damage it you buy it. This not just 1 gros store, it's like every1 I go to, to buy veg/fruit products! Food is now more expensive than ever;why must I pay more for buying damaged goods? Am I being too *bleep* about this? What are your Pet peeves? :BangHead:

What store are you going to that has such terrible produce?

Other than the usual, someone writing a check at the last minute.  People that won't move out of your way no matter how many times you say excuse me.  Or the chit-chat the cashier and a customer just seem to have to have that lasts way to long.  I think it would also be getting home a finding a meat item is spoiled.  Yes, I take it back.  I also hate when items are marked for a resonable price and when you go to pay for it, it is at least 3 times what you thought it was.  I get the manager on that one also.  Most of the time I get the price I want to pay, but, if not, I let the store personel put it back.

I have lot of pet peeves which include, allowing their kids to scream at the top of their voices while they are shopping-shut the kid up-its annoying and irritating.  People who are driving, rush to get in front of you, then slow down.

I get aggrevated when i have to run to the grocery store during peak hours (which is bad enough) but then the store does not have enough lanes open so the lines wrap all the way into the isles

Obnoxious kids is pretty hgh on the pet peeve list, but the worst is when you'e standing in the checkout line and it's finally your turn, and the person behind you stands so close you could stuff their head in your purse or wallet.   :sad1:

People who let their kids run wild and get in everyone elses way.
People who block the aisles bc only their time and trip is important and no one else matters!

Basically anyone who is shopping-self-centered.
