Are you an “aisle blocker”? Perhaps you’re a dreaded “express lane abuser”? If you can lay claim to either of these titles, we have two words for you: Stop it! These two types of people are at the center of frustrating experiences No. 4 and No. 5 on our 20 Most Annoying Things at the Grocery Store list.

 

1. The Oops I Forgot One Thing - while paying The person who holds up the whole line because she forgot her checkbook in the car or just needs to go grab one onion.

2. Prolonged temper tantrums - don’t stop your kids from crying - No one wants to hear your child scream and carry on for 30 minutes because they can’t get Oreos. If your child’s screams can be heard four aisles over and the tantrum is lasting longer than five minutes, it’s time to leave the store. But sadly, tantrums are not just for kids. One AOL Money & Finance editor witnessed a seemingly “normal” woman go on a verbal rampage (expletives included)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Express Lane Abuse You have one gallon of milk to purchase. You are about to walk into the express lane (which clearly states 10 items or less), when in front of you pulls a shopper with a cart overflowing with groceries. This isn’t the “I-am-not-sure-if-I-have-10-or-11-items” cart, it’s the “I-am-feeding-a-family-of-seven-and-we-eat-a-lot” cart.

 

6. Payment Procrastinator Don’t be the shopper who waits until the very last minute to find her checkbook and begin filling out her personal check. If you are paying by check, which already takes longer than most other methods of payment, here’s a hint: Have your checkbook out and your check pre-filled, so that when you get the final total that’s all you need to pop in! (Same goes for debit cards, credit cards, cash or any other type of payment — you shouldn’t be digging

7. Let’s Put That Back - reailze it’s costing to much so you start taking stuff out while paying We are sure you’ll agree that people who are pretty certain they won’t have enough money to pay for all their groceries, but wait until the entire order is rung up to figure out what they will put back, qualify for our most annoying list. If you can’t keep a running tally in your head (which is certainly understandable), we suggest bringing a small calculator. Your fellow shoppers will thank you.

 

8. Checkout Belt Hogs People in the checkout line who don’t move up and out of the way when they are through putting their purchases on the conveyer belt. We can’t do anything with you standing there!

9. Extra Rough Cashiers We can’t stand cashiers who take no notice that they are denting cans and squishing bread as they slam our items around. Hey, don’t take your frustrations out on our eggs!

10. People who didn’t check sales correctly Not only do we get peeved when sale items don’t ring up as they should (good thing we were watching!), but we find it especially frustrating when the cashier is rude when we ask him to rectify the problem.
