Here are mine (in addition to yours!): 1). The myriads of "hawkers" that stand around, clogging up the aisles shouting about "Try some Whole Hog Delicious fried Sausage!"; or "Taste some great home-made nachos made with Cheez-Whiz and Doritos!" Yecchh. 2) Hordes of obnoxious children who've been left in complete control of the grocery carts, while their parents are obliviously squeezing the Charmin. 3) People who insist on using the "10 Items or Less" line, when they clearly have 30 items in their carts. 4) People who place their cart in line, as a "place-holder", and then scurry through the store throwing more items in as they fly by. 5) People who insist on dragging their cart with them, even to go in the narrow aisles in the produce section, clogging up everything. 6) People who just leave their carts anywhere (usually the middle of a narrow aisle) while they go over to taste the hawker's tidbits. 7) Baggers who leave the line you've just gotten in. That's all I could think of on the spur of the momement. I'm sure there are more. Steamin', B. Walsh
