Day Thirteen
Just realised how long ago it's been since I last posted on here.I'm not sorry about it...just had better things to do like revise for mocks and also had a load of other problems.I also did attempt to write up an entry but my comp crashed after 30 mins of solid writing and so I went nuts for a bit and couldn't be bothered to start again untill tonight,due to the fact I need something to distract me from revision.
I've also had such a crappy,frustrating,unproductive day in which I wish I could punch about 4 people,but I'm blatently too nice.Also I cant swear in this blog because then it becomes filtered by the school network which again is really annoying.
Anyway,I couldn't really think of anything to put or talk about to begin with.People keep asking me when I'm going to update the diary which puts more pressure on me to make it funny,which makes me unable to think of something suitable.And so on...
Until last Saterday work asked me to go out and do trollies for an hour.During that time I found more then enough to write about.
Old people,you can't beat them can you....Pity !

Before I began working in Tesco,I just thought oldp eople were the same,harmless enough people who lived in a home all the time apart from Wednesday when its pension day and the ques in the post office are huge.How wrong I was....
I dont know why I get so annoyed with some old people and its certainly not them all.I didnt really have grandparents,my mums died before they got to see my glorius face and my dads had died before I hit 5.Im also petrified of death and i link it to being old a lot.I think its a combination of these two factors,but if an old person annoys me its on a scale of 1-3

When you have a minute to get from the staff entrance to the tills before your late.However there is an OAP in front of you who is always in your way.ALWAYS !!! You try saying "excuse me please",but they can't/pretend not to hear you and you know if you push them out the way,they could die if they fall.You see it on sopas all the time.So you end up late,thanks to the OAP.
OAP's who buy all reduced products.I understand why and its not really a big deal...but you try reducing 50 items and see how sane you still are at the end.
OAPS who dont say thank you when you open the door for them,just because you know that they would say something if they did the same and you didn't say thank you.

When they come to your till with a years worth of food and refuse a bag packer when you offer them one insisting "No no I'm ok"
NO!! No your not ok,your 76 !! You can hardly lift that tin of dog food out,hwo the hell did you get that 24 pack of beer in !!! And how the hell are you going to drink it,a panda pop could finish you off anytim,let alone a carlsberg.
Or the opposite,when they need a bag packer for 3 items because they are too lazy to pack it themselves or think if they pick up a bag,they might have a stroke.So you have to hold everyone up and pack while they watch you,smugly.Asshats.
When you give them a slip to sign and they insist on resting it on the back of their hand or something,then tell you your pen doesn't work.Yeah try it on the belt like I told you too you dozy cow.
When they insist on making some stupid comment on entering your till.In fact all people do this.They cant put stuff on silently. Instead its
"Oh we'll go and wake him up"
"Oh we'll cheer him up,he looks bored"
Or...you could sod off to another till and leave me alone.Im not bored,im not tired,I just cant be assed to serve.
"Would you like any help at all"
"Only if your going to pay"
Yeah thats bloody hilarious as well...And the way they grin as if they were the first people to ever come up with that,ugh.
"I only came in for a loaf of bread"
Well shall I take the rest of the items off then ?
I actually said that once,I was just so pissed off and I came out with it.The woman looked at me in shock
"No,no it's ok"
Old people annoyance rating - 3 out of 3
When they always check the reciept to see if they have been over charged,yet they only bought one item
When your forced to give them say nine one pound coins in change,and they say "Dont you have any fives" I mean,I really didn't think of looking !!!
When they give you a load of coupons...and its for nothing they've bought.Blatently they've been to the doctors or dentist and while in the waiting room gone thru all the Bella and Womans Own magazines and cut out the coupons and tried using them.Then when you try telling them you cant accept it because its for a free hip replacement and it expired it Aug 1997 they become angry.
"But the lady last time took them all through"
"Well if you give me her name,I'll make sure shes diciplined"
When they loose their car or husband,or both as the case was this Saterday.A old woman about 70 had been walking around the car park for around 20 mins so me and Jamie decided to see if she was ok
"I've lost my car with my husband,Its a green rover and ends it PEW,Can you help me look for it"
So after about 5 minutes of looking we find it.Right up to the bloody store in a disabled bay.God knows how she forgot it was there
Only the husband wasn't in it.At this point the woman was nearly in tears "Where's my Frank" thinking he'd gone off with another woman,or died,or been held hostage by columbians
So we had to look for him and eventually it turned out he had been waiting by the entrance for nearly 30 minutes for her to be served and hadn't thought anything strange of having to wait that long.
However that wasn't the incident that inspired me to ramble on about OAP's for nearly an hour.Instead it was 10 mins later when I was attacked by an OAP woman with her dog who literally yelled in my face
"Why ahve you put baskets so people cant walk past,I've just had to knock them over so I could get to the store"
And the way she said it,spitting on me,Ohhh it was so disgusting.
"Do you mean down by the river" I siad,stepping back a bit
"Yeah down there its a disgrace and not acceptable"
"Well,you should be down there anyway it's private property.."
"Dont you tell me where I can and cant go young man"
At this point I was really tired,fed up and wanted to get rid of her,so I said the one word all OAP's respond to with respect
"It's to prevent Death"
"Death"
"Yeah,if someone falls down and cant get back up they could die,hence why we blocked it off.But now I suppose if you knocked the baskets over then I have to go and pick them up.Before there's a death"
And I walked away before she could think of anything to say.
Obviously it's not all OAP's who are as frustraing as this,in fact most are nice.And it's not just OAP's ,everything i've said is done by people of any age because we as a nation are such obnoxius assholes.So it's prob worth thinking next time your in a public place about what your actually doing,Are you annoying someone and most importantly...are they bigger then you ?
As I said at the start...
Old people,you can't beat them can you....Pity !
