Not content in making me wait for over 5 minutes while she carried out a 28 point manoeuvre to park her micra car in a space big enough for a chieftain tank, I was unfortunate enough to be behind the same woman at the checkout of my local Sainsburys.
What is it with women that they need to take an extraordinary amount of time to pay for stuff?... It seemed that this woman in particular had to place all her stuff she was buying in specific bags too. Her purse shenanigans were beyond belief though - Search through handbag to find purse, choose card and hand to cashier, Ooops, wrong card, searches through purse for an alternative card, hands to cashier, 'Oh, Wait... I have a nectar card somewhere'... Searches through purse again, retrieves nectar card and hands to cashier... 'Oh, wait, I think I'll pay with cash instead'... Here's the climax though... Cashier does his bit, and while he does, the woman puts her purse back in her suitcase sized handbag!!... *Facepalm*... Cashier goes to hand her her change, and she has to search back through her bag for her purse.... Then proceeds to put change back in purse, her mobile phone rings... Searches through inordinately large handbag for phone while the cashier is attempting to hand her the receipt... Answers her phone and then takes her bags before her receipt, suitcase sized handbag slips off shoulder so she has to carry out yoga moves to get it back on. Has to sort of half crouch so the cashier can put the receipt in the hand that she is holding the mobile phone to her ear... Gaaahhh!!!!!
Grr!!!.... Me - Stuff all goes into one bag, hands the cashier a £20 note that I put in my poket on purpose so I don't have to root around in my wallet, change goes in pocket and I'm off...
Women and checkouts - That really grinds my gears!!
Edit - Sorry about the wall of text!... Not sure why that happened
