How Would You Handle

[albaqwerty]

the person behind you in a check-out queue?
You know, the one who's in such a rush that that keep shoving their trolley into your back to edge you down further, but you can't move forward as there are people in front of you?

I just dunt my bahookie into the back of the trolley and the handle, with any luck, smacks them in their midriff.

(inspired by another thread)

Can't say it's ever happened to me.
Looking mean can have an advantage sometimes. ;-)

[mccfluff]

i stand my ground and refuse to move

[Zacs-Master]

I'd just turn round and say 'do that again and I'll shove your trolley along with its contents up your bahookie'

[SlackAlice]

Happened to me some time ago. After the third attempt to ram and break my ankles, I just turned round and said loudly "If you don't stop hitting me with the trolley, I'll f****** wrap it around your head"

sara3 arse isn't fat, looks just about right to me. I'm only a man though, perhaps my opinion doesn't count.

I have to say I cannot imagine anyone being rude to someone as attractive as you.

[friedgreentomato]

nah it's fat and huge and worst still its spotty!!!!

[albaqwerty]

A woman was behind me last week, 'accidentally' swiped me with her handbag 3 times, so I then turned round to her and told her she was out.
Lass on the checkout laughed like the proverbial.

[albaqwerty]

aww, biggles, thank you.
It's alba btw, only albaqwerty on high days and holidays :-D x

Give a loud cry of pain, fall backwards, and then sue them.

[emmie]

alba, can you explain that?

[biggleswade]

Thank you for telling me. I will remember for the future. I think there must be a lot of little things I have to learn so thank you for your guidance.

[albaqwerty]

Canary, would that only work in the U.S. though?

Em, the 3 strikes?
I believe it's a baseball term, if the batter misses 3 times, then he's out.
Also, I think a legal beagle or a mayor in the U.S. gave the same measure to repeat offenders. 3 strikes and you're in prison for life.

[albaqwerty]

biggles, welcome to a madhouse. If you're up early try the Good Morning Thread for total (in)sanity :-)

[emmie]

like the American penal system, three strikes and you are out, got it..

[daffy654]

My reply would be very similar to SlackAlice's, in fact I have said almost that in the past.

[biggleswade]

Thank you Alba I will look out for it.

[society]

I would gesture to move away to the side and while doing so push the trolley with a force straight into them.

[China Doll]

Give them 'the look'.... I'm not aware of this look but according to man hostate, friends, work colleagues and family it's pretty deadly. I maintain that sadly it's just my normal expression!

If that doesn't stop it then I'd simply tell them to stop doing it.

And if that didn't work I'd rip their heart out and make them eat it.... seems reasonable response ;o)
