Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
The phone thing is my huge pet peeve. I cannot stand people being on speakerphone, and having conversations with people when they’re wandering around a store, or in the waiting room of a doctors office. It’s so disrespectful. If it gets really bad, I’ll look them in the eye and tell them… Nobody Cares 🤷♀️
I also agree with you when you’re trying to shop. I specifically will move my cart out of the way and put it somewhere so it’s not in anybody’s way just to walk around the fruit and vegetable area and get what I need and go back to my cart. This is the worst area in the market where people just block everything. It’s so frustrating.
AND
With blocking the Isles…. People are so self unaware, they only think of themselves, what they want, and what they need. I’m literally like… please just move!
For this reason alone, I’m so angry about Covid. There are so many reasons to be pissed off about Covid, however… I used to do my shopping in the middle of the night. Walmart, the middle of the night… Fry’s grocery store the middle of the night… Wallgreens, the middle of the night. It’s so hard to find a 24 hour store anymore. 😡
