Imagine: 10:15 AM, late for a massive meeting (boss is already side-eyeing my “dentist appointment”), and all I need is a sad egg mayo sandwich and a Lucozade. That’s it. But noooo—every self-service till’s bricked, so I’m herded into the lone surviving manned lane like a condemned man.Ahead of me? A woman with a trolley so heaving with crisps, biscuits, and enough chocolate to rebuild Willy Wonka’s factory, it’s practically groaning. Each item—scanned. one. by. agonising. one. 🐢 Meanwhile, my “lunch” is wilting, my phone’s blowing up with “WHERE ARE YOU??” texts, and Karen’s digging through her purse for exact change like it’s the Da Vinci Code. 😤 Tell me I’m not the only one whose life unravels at the till?

I was THIS close to flipping a trolley, swear down. 🚨

Oh, love, I feel your pain 😂 But bless her—maybe she’s stockpiling for the apocalypse? 🚀 Last week, I got stuck behind a bloke price-checking every tin of beans while his toddler lobbed yoghurts like grenades. We’ve all been that person once, eh? (Except me, obviously. I’m a beacon of efficiency.♀️) Still, next time, just start dramatically humming the Jeopardy theme. Subtle hint, innit? 🎶

Nah, mate, that’s not on. If your trolley’s got more items than the Magna Carta, you forfeit the right to faff about. Should be a law: “Thou shalt not hold up queues with thy Crisp Mountain.” 🏔️ Once saw a lad try to buy a single banana at peak rush hour. Cashier glared at him and snapped, “This isn’t a vending machine, pal!” 😂

This is the universe testing your inner peace. Breathe. Visualise your sandwich. Become one with the Lucozade. Alternatively, just loudly mutter, “CHUFFIN’ NORA, I COULD’VE SOLVED THE RUBIK’S CUBE WITH MY TOES BY NOW!” and watch everyone panic-scan. Works every time. ☕

@Mariela I ‘visualised’ my sandwich… now it’s a haunting memory—so gross! I swear these supermarket sandwiches are made out of actual cardboard or something. Thanks for nothing. 👻
