The most annoying things people do at grocery stores

Almost anyone who goes to the grocery store has dealt with at least one annoying shopper. There’s usually that one shopper (or sometimes several) who makes something as simple as buying groceries more difficult than it has to be.

Shoppers annoyed, bothered or downright mad about the lack of “grocery store etiquette” held nothing back when asked about the most frequent annoyances and behaviors of others while at the store.

The stores around here aren't that bad. Sure, people visit in the aisle but they move when they notice you, and folks return their carts/buggies not only to the spaces in the parking lot, but also to the store itself.

My biggest bitch is when I'm leaving. I can be backing out of my parking spot and it seems like every damned time I'll see somebody walking directly behind my truck - as I'm moving! I'm not talking just starting to back out, either. I can be halfway out of my spot, cutting my wheels, and have somebody walk behind me. They actually walk around me as I'm moving instead of stopping and waiting a whopping 5 seconds.
