Why do you leave your empty Tim Hortons cup on some random shelf? How fucking lazy can you possibly be? Granted, this doesn't affect my life all that much. Unless the item I want is behind that cup and I have to touch it. Who knows where your hands have been? Anybody who's too lazy to put a cup in the garbage is probably to lazy to wash their hands after they go to the toilet.

Why do you tear open boxes of frozen food? Every time I go to buy a box of frozen chicken breasts, I have to dig to the bottom of the cooler to find one that hasn't been ripped open and pawed through. The box is clearly labeled. Chicken breasts. Skinless. Boneless. 3 kg. What other information are you seeking? Are you looking for the box with the fucking prize in it?

Why? Why why why would anyone poke their finger through the crust of a loaf of bakery bread? Last night I wanted a nice loaf of crusty Italian bread to have with my spagetti. But there was one loaf left on the shelf, and some filthy slob had poked his finger through the crust in three places. It was on the top shelf of the bakery rack, well out of reach of any child. An adult did this.

Why do you leave your used kleenex and other assorted garbage in the cart when you are done with it? Last week I pulled a cart out of the row, tossed my purse into the top compartment, and then noticed that my purse was sitting on top of a pile of dirty snotrags. Once again, How? Fucking? Lazy? Can you possibly be? Not to mention dirty, unsanitary, and disgusting. What the hell is wrong with you?

If anyone is reading this who has done any of these things, please take advantage of the annonymity offered by this forum to explain why. I'd really like to know.
