Isle blocked at Crest Market <handy cap carts>

"Say it loud....I'm obese and I'm proud!"

You skinny folk can kiss my ass. I'll purposely block the damned aisle from this point forward. I ain't sharing my Doritos aisle with your malnourished asses! Make a U-turn and I'm sure you'll have no problem with traffic jams on the tofu and rice cake aisle. "WE" won't be found there! LOL!

BTW...have you ever tried Picante Beef Top Ramen? Meal of the Gods!

My IQ is under a 1000 so I'm not the smartest but I think he's trying to say that people are inconsiderate.

Probably.

Still I have to ask:

So people blocking the aisles is new? Or maybe it was because they were fat people blocking the aisle. Either way, yes that can be irritating.

So tell 'em to move or just turn around and walk away. Or if one wanted to make a public point make a really big deal of squeezing by them; toss in a few grunts while at it. Surely that would get their attention. Those are one's only real options. Then again... you could just shoot 'em one supposes but then think of the mess that'd have to be walked through and all the crazed people running around screaming madly, waving their pudgy appendages about and maybe even another OSA'r taking it upon hisself or herself to try and take the shooter out (and wouldn't it be ironic if that OSA'r was a Land Whale themselves) - the possibilities - well - they're endless.

So now we're back to telling the whales to get their fat butts out of the way - no - that'd make a scene so it's still best to just walk around them. Think of the exercise one could get spending a few hours walking around all the "Land Whales" in Crest. So in a way them fat folk are actually doing us all a favor by having to put in a little bit of extra exercise.

Or maybe the OP just wanted to get it off his chest or start a thread where people could exercise their repartee skills just to keep 'em sharp for the oh so numerous times on OSA when they really need 'em. OSA's a pretty good place for that too.

In any event these type of threads are at the least mildly amusing, quite often entertaining and sometimes quite hilarious.

Now all we need is for JB to show up and tell us all how he's set aside a special place in the camps for "Land Whales". One imagines that the place will be quite close to the soylent green processing plant.

You know I used to feel the same as most of you about people blocking the aisle in Crest, Wally World, etc. Last week I was out for the first time after open heart surgery, using my rollator (walker on wheels) and I had a really difficult time keeping out of peoples way. I didn't realize just how difficult it would be. Maybe some of these people are the same and are trying, although I know some just don't care.

I don't understand how Doctors can so easily approve Handicapped plaquerds for the obese. If anything, instead of treating their poor health lifestyle they are acting as enablers by allowing them to park close wherever they go and even get less of the exercise they desperately need. The issuance of handicapped plaquerds needs to be reviewed. I've seen people pull into a handicapped spot, then walk without the aid of a cane or crutch over 1000 feet to another building.

People block aisles, regardless of physical condition or appearance, because they have been "Entitled" to do so. It is cultural for some, a lack of proper parental training for others, and a general backlash of the decay of society for everyone. I motionlessly occupy this spot because my (fill blank) said I was "SPECIAL".

I expect it to occur, so I stand quietly looking at them until they move. Most apologize half-halfheartedly as they move themselves. In some cases I simply profile and navigate around them. Moving at speed with intent seems to encourage many to clear the pathway.

Has anyone ever noticed the proclivity of the sheep-like to gather in the exit portals regardless of room size or available space? Now that one pisses me off.

If you think there are some obese adults now, just wait until the next generation(their kids) get older. Have you seen kids these days? They are fat, lazy and have never played outside a day in their life. It's crazy if you look around next time when your out and about. Kids are huge these days...

"Aisle"

"Taking"

"Handicapped"

But the real question is: Is this the pot calling the kettle black?

Ya'll are a bunch of anti-fatites.... And I approve.

Curing them ends a source of revenue stream. Not really that hard to figure out.
