I'm sure I've moaned about this before but it really gets my goat!

People in supermarkets who arrive at the till with a pile of shopping and then suddenly awaken from their dream world only to realise they may just need to pack the stuff they've bought and actually pay for it.

"Ooohhh now where's my purse, I didn't think I'd need that in here... Oh and bags, I haven't got any bags to put all my shopping in have I... Silly me... Now will one bag be enough from my trolley load of stuff or shall I get 2... They're 5p each after all... I'll get one bag, I'm sure that will be enough... Now shall I pay by cash or card... Cash... No second thoughts I'll use my card... Now what is that PIN number again... I know, it's 1234... No wait, it's not that it's 9999 isn't it, silly me... I knew I should have written it on the back of the card... I think cash might be easier but I think I might need another bag because this one is full up and there's still a pile of stuff to pack... £53,97! I think I'll just get rid of all my change... I've got lots of 1p's and 2p's in my purse and some in the bottom of my handbag somewhere... Now let me see, that's 98p in assorted coins... Now where's my notes... I'm sure I have some somewhere... Or did I forget to go to the cash machine... That's right, I went to the machine but had forgotten my PIN so couldn't get any more cash out... Good job I have some anyway... Oh dear I only have £40 so I'll need to put some things back... I know, I'll put back all the items which cost less than £1 first and then see how much short I still am... It's a good job nobody's waiting behind me in a great big long queue isn't it... Chuckle... Oh wait, there seems to be a big long queue now... Isn't it funny how miserable people always seem to be in here..."

Grrrrr!!!!!
