    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Drive on the RIGHT side of the aisle!!

Am I the only one who gets annoyed when somebody is pushing their cart on the left side of the aisle in the grocery store or Walmart and then looks at me like I'm crazy when we have to maneuver around each other?

I mean really... do they not know that this is the United States of Drive on the Right Side of the Road?

Makes me wanna just ram 'em with my cart...
 
I love this as a concept - I'm imagining shopping carts with indicators and stores with traffic lights.... will you have a one-way system that makes you go around three other aisles to get to a can of beans that's on the left side?
:rofl::rofl::rofl:

I TOTALLY agree with You!!!! I`d like to add, "If You`re coming from a side aisle onto a main aisle, you need to YEILD to whoever may be on the main aisle"...GEEESH! Do we need Traffic lights for people to act right at the store???? I go to WalMart because of the prices, but the other shoppers really Pi$$ me Off! I have started getting up and going early when I hope there will be less people to deal with.
 
um no offense but I never heard of right of way driving in an aisle. usually courtesy and common sense are enough.

Unfortunately, common sense is an oxymoron.

I certainly don't think we need traffic lights on shopping carts and all that...but it would be nice if people just paid a little better attention to their surroundings (everywhere! not just in walmart).

People can be frighteningly self-absorbed.
 
That is a huge pet peeve of mine. Not only do people not move their carts out of the way and get to the right side, but I am short and people tend to not notice until they're ready to hit me. I always get the dirty looks like I've done something wrong.

Another store pet peeve. Don't block aisles so no when can get by. Especially when you're just talking to other people you ran into. :angry:
