#5 - Poor Shopping Cart Etiquette

Okay, here's the scene: A shopper is strolling down the aisle pushing their shopping cart in front of them. Suddenly, they spot something they want to take a look at--they push their shopping cart to one side and then step to the OTHER side of the aisle to examine the merchandise. The problem here, of course, is that they are now blocking the entire aisle! If you are shopping up the same aisle and need to get by you can only hope that maybe they'll drift out of their momentary reveries and notice you standing there. When they do they'll give that half-hearted and airy "oh, sorry" and move out of the way or maybe shift their shopping cart over beside them where it should have been the whole time.

I see this all the time and can't figure what goes on in their teensy little 10cc muttonhead minds. By pushing the cart to one side they must think they're doing the considerate thing, but then they block the aisle. WTF? Just keep the cart with you on the side where you are shopping, push it to the side--yes they got that part right--but then just past what you want to look at.

This is really not that difficult, people. Work it out, and stop blocking my aisles.

#4 - Gargoyle Park

On the way back home from a work trip today, the GPS listed a park in Olean with the best name ever.... GARGOYLE PARK

Needless to say, I just had to go there. So, a quick detour brought me to my destination.

I even have photographic evidence to prove Gargoyle Park really, truly exists... There's just one small problem.

NO GARGOYLES.

If you're going to name a park something as awesome as GARGOYLE PARK, you better damn well have some gargoyles somewhere. Even one would have appeased me. Come on, do you know how many people would come to see a park filled with gargoyles?!? Well, maybe just me, but instead I left disappointed...

Stupid gargoyle park...
