Most people are fine. It's the minority of thick ****s that you notice and get annoyed by.
Case in point;
Shopping in Waitrose, some old dear had parked her trolley across the aisle so nobody could get past.
I said "Excuse me" a few times, she looked at me then carried on staring at the shelf.
I turned her trolley so at least one person could get past and she looked at me as if I'd just murdered her family.
It's not just young folk, there are ****s of all ages, backgrounds and ethnicities.

Haha! Cheeky so-and-so's!!! How did you react?
The worst, and I mean, the very worst, are the little kids aged 5-10 that daudle around with their parents getting in the way of everything. Some are too young to realise what they are doing and others aren't. The ones that do know what they are doing only move once their parents shout at them to get out the way, and then give you an ugly smirk to let you know they enjoyed your misery.
If only you could deck them there and then...
Like pubs and wars, supermarkets are NOT the place for children.
Thankfully mine was a small shop this week (few items in a basket) but it still took about 40 mins to get it. Ok, 20 of them were at the self-serve tills as people just CANNOT seem to use them but people in the shops are crazy.... Maybe I am weird but why anyone needs 8 times their normal bread and milk intake over a 3-4 day period is beyond me... THE SHOPS ARE OPEN AGAIN ON THE 26TH YOU MUPPETS!!!! 
Thankfully I did it tonight... Sod going in tomorrow
edit: forgot to mention - A guy had just finished filling up some of the bread aisle and was taking the extras away (no shelf space). Spotted some woman (about 50 years old) stopping the chap with the bread trolley to check the use by dates on the bread to see if it was any longer than the date on the same bread she already had..... Thats right, the bread on the trolley is fresher then the same bread from the same pallet he just filled the shelves up with !!! Fud.

Definitely.
Seeing as you were in Asda, I don't know why you're surprised that that's happened.
You're right, but you do get different atmospheres in different supermarkets.People are stereotyping based on the supermarket you shop at? Good greif
Going on the list along with Fog Beast of things that just make sense from the internet!

Just been to the shops and I give up!
Is it just me or people getting ruder by the year? asda was full of the most ignorant people I've come across,
At one end of the aisle there was pretty much a trolly pile up and the one "women" that could help the situation by simply moving out the f* way basically refused to move.... I bet that counts as a victory in her life.
I was in and out within 15mins, end of.
Just wanted to make most of them do taffy slug along the floor, that would turn their faces around.
Rant over, I've been locked away with boys for 11weeks so I've come out to the world where christmas is suddenly upon me and I havent had the time to get used to the shops getting gradually busier.

Fuglies Win!
1000x this. I like to pay the price premium on their products just so i don't have to mix it with the riff raff.

I was forced to go through Primark the other day. Literally 2 minutes in that shop is enough to unleash my inner spree mass murder...
The trick is to do all your shopping either online or times when people are usually in bed
My wife and I refer to that exact effect on me as "The Primark Effect". I CANNOT set foot in it without becoming the epitomy of rage.
I have to say I've been to both Asda and Sainsburys this week and Asda had many many more mouth breathing mongoloids and took far longer to get around. Saying that even Sainsburys was bad with people leaving trollies in the middle of the row whilst they wandered off to find something and lots and lots of arguing couples.
To calm off I had to go into the carpark and pretend I was getting in my car to drive off just to see how long I could keep someone waiting for the space. In reality I was waiting for my wife to come back with a few extra things, but they didn't need to know that (new record 5 minutes!)

I hate people this time of year tbh as they're all so wrapped up in their own world to give a crap about others.
Only yesterday I saw a guy with his reverse lights on so flashed my lights to let him out so I could park there, to have some woman put her indicators on and try and nick the space I'd created. Then one minute later I crossed a zebra crossing for some guy to slam his brakes on and then proclaim 'You're supposed to wait you ****!'
Gargh people!! /hides in house

I'm genuinely glad that I am not the only person who gets like this.
Is yours just rage or do you get murderous thoughts too?

Everything. As the minutes tick by it becomes harder and harder not to just fly into a rage and begin strangling children and wrapping prams around arse-faced scrags' heads.
Even if there's nothing particularly annoying happening, just being in the place begins to boil my thermometer. It's very strange.
