Things that make me go grrrr

I have braved the supermarket and boy do I not want to risk that again. To think I turned down a day at Thorpe Park where I think I would have been safer. Stuff running the risk of shattering my back or blowing me ear drum at least I would have walked out alive.

Let me explain and yes health safety please read this! Supermarkets have slippy floors at the best of times, they are meant for ease of trolleys and wheelchairs, well put in the mix natural dampness of the British weather and having to use crutches and I was like a duck on ice. But that wasn't the major issue it was the people in the store and particularly the blue rinse brigade. I am not meaning the frailer members of society, but the pensioners who are so caught up in being active and socially engaged. They are worse than the mothers with children in supermarkets as their attitude is everyone can work round them. I struggle to get round a store as it is and the first incident was the fact I had for want of a better way of putting it parked at the end of an aisle our of harms way whilst mum battled through the gossipping in the aisle. What happens but two sets of  blue rinse demand I move so they can go through 4 a breast, yea right 1 person on crutches moving one trolley that can only go well! Once rescued we moved to where the the vegetables are, and that's where it turned from shopping trip to blood sport. There is a natural bottle neck between deli, chilled and veg, and at the best of times its hard to navigate. So would some one please then tell me why people think its OK to just suddenly stop and chat and block the way through for everyone around them and then when I ask and note POLITELY  if I could get through it is received by tutting and dirty looks and one swinging their trolley so it took out one of my crutches.

I am not some sub human, nor am I disrespectful to my elders, but I do object to the lack of manners from certain people in my local community. It isn't limited to the local blue rinse brigade either. Pupils of a very local church school are notorious for hogging the entire pavement and forcing people like myself on to the road rather than stop sharing their ipods as their walk down the pavement at least two abreast. Yes I am fed up with this general selfish attitude. I am sick of coming home in more pain than I left do to the selfish actions of others and whats more infuriating is I was brought up to be the complete opposite. If I had dared to be such a selfish school child I would have been in for so such a verbal dressing down I wouldn't have dared do it again.

So as I apply heat packs on sore muscles and ice packs on the bruises on my leg I sign of for now going ggggrrrr!
