CRAB CAM MAKES ANOTHER BUST!

I swear to you 3 different people said, "Excuse me" to these gals. The one on the left would move her cart just long enough for the hapless shopper to squeeze through. Then she'd put it right back! They stood there for 25 minutes. I know because a Kroger employee (meat man) timed them for me. When I was checking out, they had moved into the cereal isle and were blocking that! There is a cure for isle blocking. If everyone would drop an item or 5 descreetly into the carts of the yammering blockers by the time they paid for their groceries they would be too poor to return to the market for a good long while. Think about it.
















The crab cam caught this guy at lunch yesterday. I say he's practically a ringer for Nick Cage. Bob and Jake say no way.

What do you say?

PS. I am setting up a new blog so hang with me and be patient. Takes me awhile to figure things out. But, I am soooo all over it. I think.

Well again I have to agree with Bob and Jake. You do wear glasses, right?

p.s. no I would not jump off a cliff if B and J jumped before me. I know that would have been your next question :P

I reckon Gone in 60 seconds Crabby, that's Nicholas Cage!

I love your cure for aisle blockers! Small expensive items in the trolley - yeah!

Trolley. I'm so stealing that term!!!

Crabby...I vote no on Nic.

You should have went grocery isle bowling and knocked over those two cows.

I canNOT stand aisle blockin' morons. I usually hit their buggy....

Too hard to tell about the Nick Cage guy....

The guy in question has similarities but I do not know. It would help to be able to see jis eyes too.

I have two ideas for the isle blockers. 1, see if you can borrow one of the floor cleaners that I am sure Krogers has. Then go up and down the islf a few times. They will leave for sure and you can have a fun time at the same time. Now the second idea I may have gotten from a prior post of yours. What if you accipuposly banged into the back of the people that were standing yacking and then say excuse me. I do believe the context I heard this from was those people on the driveable carts that terrorize the grocery area banging into you hurting your leg and other not so nice stuff. Get a few people together and they would have to many bruises to return eny time soon. Hey how about making pre made up signs that say "NO LOITERING" and put it up by them.

King, no I don't wear glasses thank you very much. I got contacts. One eye sees far away, the other one sees close up. All bases covered. Cept I can't stand on one leg or walk a straight line.

Ebezp, I'm thinking that or bring a bag of roadkill with you when you shop. LOL!

Milky, Does too look like him. I'm leaning more in the direction of the infamous roadkill cart toss.

slick, you just gave me the best idea of all. LOL! Ok, I may have to film this. Whatever happens, even if it's jail time, full credit goes to Slick.

Barman, I'm diggin the "No Loitering" signs idea lots!

We get together and form a line about five feet apart and take turns interupting them and dropping thing in their carts. That is sooo Nicholas Cage...I/O

Inside/Out, I like the way you think. I do believe we should begin a march across America's markets, knocking out one gang of isle blockers after another. Course...we'll need a name for ourselves.

Ebezp, I surely would like to have one of those. I even like the name.

It kinda does look like nick but then again I need glasses. lol
I really hate people who block the ises just to talk. And whats worse? They are usually neighbors and could go home to talk.

 

At 8/06/2007 1:40 PM, Blogger Crabby

Gab, YES! They were neighbors!

I do believe my NAB award has gone to my other site. Well, as I live and breathe...for now.....
this has to be a record! Right? To win an award on a site you've done absolutely nothing with yet?
I'm just.....so proud. So proud.
I need another moment.

Crabby, I'm sorry to have to agree with Jake and Bob.

 

At 8/06/2007 6:37 PM, Blogger Crabby

Aw, Sign. Rats! Well, does he look like Mel Gibson? A little? Pee Wee Herman?

Hey Crab, want to go shopping?

 

At 8/06/2007 10:30 PM, Blogger GAB

YOU HAVE ANOTHER BLOG SITE? :(

 

At 8/07/2007 5:24 AM, Blogger Crabby

Manny, NO! Last time I went shopping with you it cost me 7 bucks. That's two ice caps. Plebbt.

Gabby, it's on my profile page. I just started setting it up yesterday. I don't have hardly anything done over there yet. I'm a slow worker.

Depending on what day it was (in the month) I would likely have said, "Escuse me ladies, did you know you are blocking this aisle? Would you like a twenty so that you can go to Starbucks and sit down and have your chat over a cup of coffee on me?" (I may have even said, "fucking chat....")

 

At 8/08/2007 7:37 AM, Blogger Curly Glamour Girlie

I would have said excuse me LOUDLY and then moved her cart myself. I hate aisle blockers like that.

Hmmm. I wonder if Kroger is the only place those two women can meet.

And why in the world are you setting up another new blog? I have rather enjoyed the last two—or is that three?
