The world is covered with germs -- money and door handles are much nastier than a hand.
I don't know your word, Susan, but I can see myself using it a LOT.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I put my bills and my change in seperate places so I dislike the hammock. It just makes it take longer for me to get out of the next person's way. That said, at the drive-thru taco shop place, I accept that the hammock is just about the only way it is going to happen and since they also give me taquitos, I'm good with the hammock.
Mostly I just don't like people in general though.

I'm also annoyed with people who have a full cart of groceries but appear to be stunned and amazed that they have to get out a wallet or checkbook and actually pay for these things. It doesn't seem to occur to them to even start looking for a checkbook until after everything is rung up.

Always Anti-fascist!
Kind of, ew. Oh, well, like I know why people get together. "misguided nostalgia?" Susan? "Idealization"

Thanks, Hec. Have forwarded to DH to see if either is what he has in mind. (eta and erika)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
People actually do that? Poke you from behind with their carts?
The worst was when Stop and Shop's crack marketing team decided it'd be a great idea for each store to provide a few child-sized shopping carts that adorable little future shoppers could push around along side their parent, giving them the same opportunity to impulse buy as the grown-ups. Of course, that some of the little darlings would try to push the knee-high carts around corners at mach 1 never occurred to them. Or at least it didn't until the personal injury suits started trickling in, presumably. The carts vanished after a few months.

Thrive to spite them
Then there are the people in the parking lots.
The worst are the ones who've staked out a shopper getting ready to leave -- except the shopper has a cart full of groceries and some kids and hasn't opened the trunk yet. I always end up behind one, and you can't back out or do anything until the car infront of you moves.
Or the people who stroll right down the middle of the lane and don't seem to care that there are cars behind them trying to get some place.

Yes, because apparently I am invisible. If I could just figure out how to become invisible when it worked to my advantage ...

Whole Foods has those. Surprisingly, I've had no problems with kidlets and their carts running into me. No, it's all adults who can't see the goth wearing a top hat and petticoats.
