I had absolutely no idea what this post was talking about at first. It took me a full 2 minutes to work out its meaning. Here is the English translation:

"My pet peeve is people who have an aversion to putting their"...

well "freakin" is a very American word. I know what is stands for, but we don't use it over here, so, to continue:

"to putting their flaming supermarket trolleys back where they belong."

I really did not understand a word of this at first. There was no context to tell me what "carriage" meant. Here, a carriage is something was used 100 years ago to ride in behind a horse. Heard the song 'love and marriage...go together like a horse and carriage"? Well, that's a carriage. We don't even have "baby carriages"; we have "prams" and "pushchairs". And there is no English word for "corral" in the sense of a place to put things. We might say the 'trolley bay" but this is not an official term.

Phew. It's hard work learning a new language. rotflmao

SC, it's EASY. Whoever gets there first, goes first. If it is a tie, the person on the right goes first. If you two are facing eachother, then the person going straight has the right of way. laugh

I didn't have as hard a time as you, but I did wonder what carriages were. We call them "carts"/"shopping carts." The "freaking" isn't only American, it's Canadian too. laugh And BTW, we DO call them "cart corrals."

rotflmao...Okay, "diversion" is my own stilly language...The correct word IS "aversion". And I just asked my son what he calls the things you push around in a grocery store..He said "shopping CART" and as usual he said the old people call it a carriage. sigh

He hates when I call Pepsi, tonic (old people call it that)....That is not an old people thing it is strictly a Boston thing and my mom grew up in Boston. I get all my "old" people language from her. Okay done rambling. Nooo

Let me tell you when this "rule" doesn't work so well. A few days ago, I drove into town and pulled up to the 4-way stop. Simultaneously, a car pulled up to my right and a motorcycle pulled up to my left. I had the right-of-way to the motorcycle, but the car had the right-of-way to me. So, for about 10 seconds we all sat there and watched each other, until finally the cyclist waved for me to go first. But it was a VERY odd 10 seconds! rotflmao

United Statesian is a bit of a mouthful so we hogged the entire hemisphere instead and made it mean US. Even though .02% of us know better.

Stop talking about me!

If you will insist on having something that does not occur anywhere else in the world, then you just have to put up with our nervousness when we visit!

I really enjoy people who exit their vehicles and commence to walk down the MIDDLE of the aisle at a leisurely pace to get to their destination, meanwhile cars creep up behind them waiting for them to get the heck outta the flippin waaaaaaayyyyyy

Oh my goodness you're at the mall on a Sunday for crying out loud! What's all the rush about? You're going to be walking around for 4 hours once you get inside anyway! If you wanted to get in and out, you'd go on your lunch hour or something. Talk about unreasonable expectations wink My kids are kind of pokey, staring at their cell phone and texting while they walk down the middle of the road and all, but c'mon, they're having important conversations LOL. Why would they want to hurry up for your convenience?

I like that I started a long line of rants. dance2

NewEveryDay...it's unfortunate that the conditions which I was describing occur frequently at 11am at the local grocery store/hardware store/insert whateverstoreyouaregoingto MrRollieEyes It seems that people, in general just have no scruples anymore.

I am a pretty patient person, to boot, so i can't imagine what some road-rager might do under those same conditions. I simply MrRollieEyes and wait until the kings and queens of america get outta the way. wink

OHOHOHOHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH

I thought of another one. People who talk on their cell phones while in line at the checkouts. I work in a major retailer as a return desk associate. Their phone rings and they answer it. SERIOUSLY? Is someone on FIRE? What could be so important? Then they say, "No it's okay, I am almost done. I am just at the cashier right now."

Even worse though. I used to work at Wendy's. How many times did I hear the ding go off to signal a car. I would say, "Welcome to Wendy's, can I take your order please." Only to hear, "ring, ring, Hello, hey......." REALLY? just order your darn burger and go away. grin

When I was young, we didn't even have an answering machine or call waiting. If someone didn't answer, you called them later, or you actually walked down to their house. If it was busy, it was because they were talking to someone else.
