The market is super busy, we don’t need people pushing huge ass strollers around. Look around at the considerate parents who have their kids in carriers so they don’t take up a ton of space and annoy the hell out of everyone. —Market lover, Stroller hater

So how do you compensate for shopping carts?
i come upon that, just about everytime i go to a food store. and usually, they have 3 or 4 other kids tagging along, and grabbing everything in their grimey little hands. fruit and veggies are the worst. now don’t get me wrong, i love kids, but there is a time to leave them home, or in someone’s care somewhere else, til you finish shopping.
Oh yes that’s because strollers are so much bigger than shopping carts. Better in a stroller than running free.
There aren’t shopping carts at the market either, folks. I’m always fascinated at the HUUUUUGE ones that people drag around everywhere. My friend has a little fold up one that she uses when going to busy places. Honestly, parents should be more considerate. It’s easier to have your kids in a stroller, for sure, but get a $30 one for busy public places that don’t take up any more floor space than a normal sized adult.
I’m thinking OP’s not talking about the supermarket, but rather the saturday morning market — wherever the heck it is now (brewary? waterfront).
I work on the waterfront and would have to travel to Customs on a Saturday, trying to get down Lower Water or any of the other streets without running the granola fucks down was a nightmare. They’re like lemmings or zombies, they have that far away stare that says, “give me organic” or “flax is good for my colon”. Don’t get me started on how stupid they are when it comes to crossing the street legally.
Sadly, the new market is attracting the same ilk, added with cruise ship passengers it’s a fucking nightmare.
Retirement in 25 days, GGB.
Maybe the panhandlers will relocate to make matters even worse?
Did someone say something about strollers?
Snuggly’s and harnesses for all kids!!
PK, the short answer is …. both places.
some moved, some refused to move… so now we have 2 occurring simultaneously.
Oooooh. I’d probably know this if I rolled out of bed before…..uh….noon on saturdays 😛
psssst, they’re open until 1pm so you can still go!
🙂
you’ll just get what’s left over from everyone else’s pickings…
probably brussel sprouts…yack
But zZz: that would require actually getting dressed…on a SATURDAY.
If I have to put pants on 5 days a week, every damn week, I’m not putting them on on my first day off 😛
Pants are an illusion and so is death.
you could just wear your pj’s pk, lots of folks do that
I hate all pants including pj pants. Tank tops and undies for PK and I DOUBT I could get away with wearing that at the market 😛
haha.
lol @ PK I’ve said that if I were female (which I’m not), I’d walk around the house topless all the time. 😛
All hail the pantsless Kitty in the Green Turtleneck.
(P.S. the only Bush I’d ever vote for is – Julianne Moore in “Short Cuts” – Giggity >; )
If I lived alone, brendon I’d do the same 🙂
tom waites was in that flick as well admiral…i sideways ice cream cone him
sideways ice cream cone, eh? I’d say it’s more like a cone with an ass on the side…or, an “asscone”?
Kind of like you ASSCONE tom waites!
teehee, it’s a double scoop pk
I’m not a fan of people who wear pj’s in public…I don’t say anything to them…but isn’t this why we have those damn yoga pants…so people can be comfortable in public. And I could never feel comfortable walking around the house topless. Maybe it’s cause I was raised by my dad and lived with brothers that I’ve never been a naked kind of person. Maybe I’m a prude…. I don’t care.
Fat people should not be allowed in the market

The market is super busy, we don’t need fat ass people strolling around. Look around at the fit, active people who have their kids in carriers so they don’t take up a ton of space and annoy the hell out of everyone. —Market lover, Stroller hater
And your kind shouldn’t be allowed anywhere, sebastian. Maybe a gas chamber.
