I hate going to Costco for a variety of reasons. I hate the crowds and the piggies who block the aisles while they scarf down free samples

IDK why but yesterday at Costco everything just irritated the ever lovin phucque out of me. I got extremely bitchy and I'm normally kind of happy go lucky

Maybe I'm feeling more emotion since I got on anti anxiety meds

Maybe it's because it was just me and my husband

I honestly have no idea what set me off. Maybe it was being around my husband. After I'd been home with the kids a while I gradually calmed down

It's getting harder and harder to be civil

The next therapy session ought to be interesting.

My daughter wants to talk about SD, dad and the Wedding Wars

Husband will be home for a whole week for Christmas

Joy to the world.

YYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!! Just had a bad experience with them this weekend. First time I had been there in a year. And it was more awful than ever.

wth was I thinking's picture

People always manage to park their cart directly in front of wherever I need to go. And they just. Stand. There. Or they leave their cart inexplicably sideways in the middle of the aisle, blocking everything and everyone.

Screaming whining kids.
People coughing and hacking all over everything.
The lady talking LOUDLY on her phone about her Y-E-A-S-T infection. Sorry lady, most people around can probably spell better that you, might have pulled one over on that three year old though!
:sick:

Yesterday it was just packed with 300 lb people who smell like used Depends

That was the initial trigger

The only time I've enjoyed going to Costco is when I was on maternity leave because I could go in the middle of the week when it wasn't so busy. I love their kids clothes and toys. Now I don't enjoy it as much because I can only go on the weekends so it's super busy.

I told my husband Costco on a Sunday is bad for anyone

He was begging me to have a cigarette

Normally he's begging me to stop smoking

LOL!

The piggie part was mostly about blocking the aisles

Why does the whole world have to come to a screeching halt just because they want to get their feed bag on?

I'm convinced Wal Mart parking lots are designed to cause anxiety...

We haven't been to Costco in forever for the very reasons you mentioned. The best time to go is 15 minutes before they open on Sunday and then get the hell out.

It's a big no-no to go any time after Halloween because then holiday shopping is crazy and everyone is spreading the flu.

DH and I went to the grocery store this past Sunday at 630am. I'm usually sleeping but I went and we got the hell out. There was no one there and it was lovely.

That's the price we have to pay for peace while shopping.

Amazon is my best friend. I have even ordered off of Prime Pantry for items other than meats, milk and produce.

I love Amazon!

I refuse to do traditional Christmas shopping ever again

Remember driving all over three counties to find that one item?

The internet is such a blessing!

Costco. In South Florida. With the 90 year-old unconscious Old Farts looking for free lunch. Know what's worse than how they block every single lane in the store, especially around the food stands? The fact that they DROVE TO THE STORE like that - unconscious - and "parked" their lard-ass Lincoln in two or three spaces.

You bet I strategize my shopping times. After 6:00 is good, they've had their early bird dinners and are already tucked in bed. And off the roads.

I have never been. I went to Sam's club once and vowed to never return to a store like that again. TBH though, ever since I returned from my deployments (I'm military) I have gone out of my way to avoid crowds. I really hate them so much of my shopping is done online.... I LOVE amazon. I do all my shopping on there and hit up smaller grocery stores when I need to shop for food, toiletries (aldi, ect.).
