re: How is it possible for women to lose all spatial and situational awareness

They just make complete and full stops in the middle of the aisle

I have a friend who did this in the middle of the damn entrance to the store so she could pull the grocery list up on her phone.

Then she got mad at me like I was the a-hole when I suggested she move.

Just depends on where you start and stop the measurement.

They just make complete and full stops in the middle of the aisle, whip their cart around 180° without considering people are around them, or just stop/leave their cart in the middle of the aisle where no one can pass.

Not to cast aspersions but I have seen men do that too. And it is not just during grocery shopping.

No wonder half this place can’t get laid

Not touching this.

Smart move, I agree. Then, add Bluetooth the the equation and it’s multiplied x10.

In my neighborhood a 40 yo woman on her phone believes traffic laws no longer apply. Stop signs? Nope. Sidewalks? Fair game. Speed limits? Say what? Can go anywhere from 3 mph to 43 mph

When I go grocery shopping with my wife, I tell her to give me half the list of what to get, I have it all in a few minutes! Then I go back to her, she is still on the 1st or 2nd item, drives me crazy!! Why is it so hard to decide on one freaking item!!?? Grocery shopping with my wife turns into at least an hour experience!

if they're on the phone

Pet Peeve is these idiots who walk in the store (talking on the phone), pass them 3-4 times (still on the phone), standing in the isle not moving 9still on the phone) go to check out (still on the phone).

WTF is so important you can't tell Karen - hey I'm at Walmart I'll call you back.

leave their cart

My fiancée does this all the time, and I don't get it. She'll just park the cart at the end of the aisle then wander down the aisles instead of bringing it with her.

There have been a number of times where the cart is gone when she comes back to it. It's happened pretty much every time we've gone to a Home Goods.

Common conversation.

I like to cook so I’ll often run to the store to get specific ingredients for a recipe.

She texts me: oh, can you also get me some unsweetened almond milk

Me: too late, already on my way home

Her: you JUST left.

Conversation continues when I get home.

Her: how do you shop so fast?

Me: I needed 7 things, I know exactly where those 7 things are. I get them then head to the self check out

Her: you don’t go down every aisle?

Me: why would I do that when I need 7 specific items?

Her: To see what they have?

Me: I’ve been to that store a minimum of 150 times, I know exactly what they have. You do that every time?

Her: yes.

We do not grocery shop together. EVER. So I’m not aware of her cart etiquette, but I assume it’s bad
