THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD! →[More:]WHY IS IT THAT WHEN THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CARTS AT THE SUPERMARKET I GET THE ONE WITH THE STUCK WHEEL BUT IT DOESN'T REVEAL THIS DEFECT UNTIL I HAVE PUT SOME THINGS IN IT AND THEN IT'S TOO HARD TO PUT ALL THE FOOD BACK AND THEN GO BACK THROUGH THE LITTLE ONE-WAY GATE THEY HAVE IN MORRISONS TO RETURN IT AND GET ANOTHER ONE!

...it's because God wants you to notice Him. While you're shopping. In all the little aisles, right there in Morrison's, with all the other shoppers, and if you had a cart with a normal wheel, maybe you'd just be shopping, maybe even whistling, not even noticing God, until you passed a church or something on the way home, with all your groceries, bundled up in little white plastic bags with the handles that always tear into the pit of your palms when you carry them, usually five or six of them into your house, where they sit there on the floor of your kitchen, and you're totally exhausted from all that carrying, and then you realize that maybe God was right after all when he made gravity and all the tidal pulls and maybe there's something back there at Morrison's that God wanted you to buy.

MEH, MORRISON'S IS STOOPID. THEY CLOSED THEIR BIG SUPERMARKET IN MY TOWN IN OCTOBER THIS YEAR AND, THE WEEK AFTER CLOSING, JUNK-MAILED LOADS OF LOCAL HOUSES WITH "VISIT YOUR LOCAL STORE FOR ALL YOUR CHRISTMAS NEEDS".

NOT A SURPRISE AT ALL, I'M AFRAID. EASTER EGGS, ESPECIALLY STUFF LIKE CADBURY'S CREME EGGS, GO ON SALE EARLIER EACH YEAR. NO DOUBT THEY'LL HAVE EXPANDED THE RANGE OF THOSE AGAIN TO BE EVEN MORE EWWW. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL GOOEY MESS LEAKING OUT OF THE CHOCOLATE AND THE FOIL WRAPPER?

I thought God made things purple for that purpose, LT. Was the shopping cart purple?

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE RSVP? ONLY 3 OF THE 9 KIDS WE INVITED TO THE YOUNG 'UNS PARTY HAVE RESPONDED! WTF, RUDENESS!?!?! DON'T MAKE ME SHAME YOU BUY CALLING TO "CONFIRM YOU GOT THE INVITATION." I SWEAR TO THE MAKER OF WOBBLY WHEELS, I'LL DO IT!

AND ANOTHER THING ABOUT MORRISONS IS THAT THEIR TV ADS ARE NARRATED BY SEAN BEAN, WHO MAKES IT SOUND AS IF HE JUST ABOUT LIVES THERE, BUT I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN HIM IN ANY OF THE MORRISONS I HAVE SHOPPED IN. BASTARD.
