Does it bother you when other people look in your buggy or basket when you are in a store? The other day I was shopping and was picking up some "things" and an older ladt was walking beside me and looked in my buggy and made a comment on the "things" that were in side my buggy. It really got under my skin because frankly it is none of her business what was in MY buggy. In fact it kinda bugs me if I see someone looking in my buggy even if they dont comment on it. So I just wonder if I was the only one that was bothered by such a thing?
You should have embarrassed her back! You could have said something like, "What you don't use protection? Shame on you!". Don't let her bother you. She obviously is lonely and has nothing better to do than critique what is an others buggy. For some reason the older someone gets the more they feel they can butt into others lives.
shrug it off Shug
Next time someone does that, when they're not looking, throw a packet of condoms in their buggy.
never thought of it...now I am going to be scaring into everyone cart...thanks
Oh yes - and WORSE to me is when you are checking out and the cashier sees no problem with commenting on your purchases.
(in my head..."....I don't CARE if you like the smell of that candle - get your nose out of it and stop commenting -- I don't KNOW you!)
No, it doesn't bother me. I'm sure lots of people look into shopping carts, especially since they are "see through". I find it hard not to look in others' carts mainly when you're in line.
Sometimes, it doesn't hurt to listen to what others may see that we don't!!!!
Just curious, what WAS in your buggy? :)
It doesn't bother me a bit.
People are generally curious.
I know people look, so if I'm buying something that I don't want people to see, I just put it under something else, but I don't get upset over it.
That's never happened to me......
It should annoy you, but you should turn the tables and make it NOT annoy you, by just keeping it cool and walking away.
Remember; "Ignorance is the best policy".
You are out in public. Some people have poor social skills and do not know how to interact with others out in public.
Perhaps this older lady was trying to start a conversation wtih you and be friendly. People do DO that sort of thing. Out in PUBLIC from time to time, without there being any harm in it.
Perhaps she was trying to help you as she might have heard about a product recall and you were about to endanger yourself, but you might not have given her the chance to tell you that she just heard on teh news that such and such a product, which she sees in your very cart, was just recalled for XXXXX!
As long as no one is looking like they are trying to steal my bag with my wallet, or purse, then I could care less what they see in my cart.
Maybe that want to know what I think of a certain product they are thinking about trying for the first time and they see I have one in my basket.
I sort of feel sorry for people who think that when they go out into a public space, and do ANYTHING, shop, talk on a cell phone out loud, try on clothes that otherladt bugss will see in public....that they have to get defensive when they feel everyone else is in their business.
It must be hard for them.
I was taking pictures one day of a gas pump for an assignment and some lady came up to me and said "I don;t appreciate you taking my picture!"
Hey, I am not sure why she felt she was so important that I had to take HER picture, (not that I had) and she was not even polite enough to say, "excuse me, did you just take my picture?" first, she just pressumed I was "all up in her bidness!"
Relax, you still have your purse right?
Learn to become the social animal that you are. Be nice, Talk to people once in a while.
what gets me is when some moron takes something out of my buggy . i had some idiot take my whole buggy { sale items } he thought i did not see it , till i stopped him . some people really have nerve
I didnt notice this before but it is annoying.
No. I don't care if they look.
It is a tad impolite for people to comment on what's in your grocery buggy.
That happens to me more often than I'd like - I'm a vegetarian and I live in Ohio....so people are always wondering "What is that?" "What do you do with that?" "They sell stuff like that in THIS store?"
(mind you - upon telling some Ohioans that I'm a vegetarian, they thus reply "Oh. You work with animals?"...so they're not all that familiar with the lifestyle).
I digress.
But yes - cashiers have done the same thing to me. "Is it supposed to look like that?" (Yes. Its tofu. It doesn't have BLOOD like meat).
The best you can do is try to be nice. You never know what type of day that person is having or what's going on in their life...they might be reaching out for a small sliver of civil human contact by striking up a conversation about your grocery items.
Be flattered! You are apparently doing something special and unique to draw attention to yourself. Just try not to let it get you down...no matter how annoying it might be.
If I'm having a good day, I blow it off or just say something like, "Hmmm... you may be right" and walk away. That always gets them. I mean, how can you argue with that comment?!
But if I'm already in a grouchy mood, I'd be irritated and my evil, sarcastic side might come out. Not so much by the look because - whatever - but if they made a comment, oh yes. I'd probably say something like, "I'm sorry, complete stranger. I'm so sorry that you have a problem with the brand of tampon I'm buying. I guess it's a good thing you're not the one buying it then! My vagina happens to like this brand. But thank you for your unsolicited advice. Have a great day!"
Yes, I hate that! I especially hate it when you buy a bunch of drinks and then people say things like, "You must REALLY be thirsty!" or "You must be having a party!" Shut up and mind your own business!
I've never had another shopper comment on my groceries, but the cashier comments all the time! "Oh, someone's having spaghetti tonight!" "Oh, someone's having a party!" "Oh someone's doing some baking tonight!"
NO Sladt bugs H I T Sherlock!!!! That's why i'm at the frikkin grocery store.
Wow, that's a bit different than just looking...nasty old AV儿劣*. Sorry that happened to you, normally I don;t mind not that i Have that problem, sometimes someone will ask where I got something but no one has ever called me a name and been so nasty and rude.
It wouldn't bother me if someone looks, that's human nature and you are in public. But OMG, if anyone said anything to me about my stuff that was anywhere near what that lady said to you!!!!! I might get arrested. She would definitely hear an earfull and wish she never got out of bed.
I've had that happen to me! I was buying condoms and a lady made some kind of $lut remark. I looked into her basket and said (much louder than her remark) "Pie filling and broccoli! Well, we all know what THAT'S used for!"
She stammered for a moment before she left the line because everyone was sniggering at her.
I'm one of the ones who doesn't intentionally look in other people's carts, but if something catches my eye, that's a different story. I can think of several times when an item has caught my eye and I've asked the person about it (what is it? how good is it? where can I find that?).
At the same time, I'm so busy doing my own shopping that I rarely notice if someone else is checking out what I have in mine. If someone sees condoms in mine and automatically thinks I'm a whore, that's their problem. I could be married and not ready to have kids. They don't know that. And frankly it's none of their business. People will think what they want to. Let them.
That lady was very rude. It's hard to know how to react when you are unexpectedly attacked in that manner. And I agree it's annoying if someone is peering into your cart, even if they are not making comments. However, in most cases it's a small harmless thing, not worth getting upset about.
she was rude - i woulda been like "um, excuse me but do we have a problem here?!" really loud but that's just me. sometimes i look in people's buggy to get ideas. especially if i have the munchies and i can't decide on what i want, or maybe i'm forgetting something or i want some ideas for meal.......
No, it doesn't bother me. If someone made a comment, I would just say something back.
If they said something to the effects of whatever that older lady said about you I would have replied something like "At least I'm getting some. How about you?"
It's one thing to look, it's quite another to comment--and rudely at that. That old bag was way outta line.
She called you a whore for buying condoms? What, she would prefer if you did not use condoms? Wow, that lady is wacko.
I hate when people stare at what you have in your cart.
