10 Items or less, Do not enter, Handicapped

Most people are just too busy or too in a hurry to think that they are making it worse for other people by blocking up 10 items or less signs, or that an actually handicapped person may need the parking space they took because they were in a hurry. I think this speaks for society as a whole and how we are becoming more in a rush andcare less about people we dont know. I know there are people who are the exact opposite but this shift becomes mor and more lcear every year.

ok,here goes,in the buses certain seats are reserved for pregnant women and senior citizens,i think that is in name only.i see able young men on these seats............

I know what you mean; it can really be annoying. It's like people don't read signs anymore, or totally disregarding them. I think people need to be more sensitive towards all these signs and to respect them for what it is. For me, I've seen on the local subway here; there will be signs for priority seats and the signs showed that they are meant for elderly, pregnant ladies and the needy, basically. But people whom do not fit that category would still sit away and I can see a pregnant lady standing. I just shake my head to that, totally..

Single individuals going to family restrooms. I cannot stand having to wait to go to the family room with a BOY when there is a single person in it. I don't like people looking at me just because my child is having a melt down. I don't like going through 10 items or less isle when people cannot read or count. I don't like having to tell my daughter she can't do something because I can't let our son do it. I hate drivers who can't read the road signs and don't know where they are going. I hate people who drive through parking lots like it is a road race.

Hello missybear Im right there with you girl. I have seen handicap cars park in the other spots and have to walk a ways with their walker just because of some guy didn't want to walk that far into the store. I think that those 10-20 item less signs are a joke. Every time I have that limit amount and in a hurry there is not one open or like you said someone is already there with 50 items..LOL..I don't know why they post these signs anyways. They don't mean nothing to other people. Have a great day and keep smiling my friend.

Hi Ms. MB, Aside from what you've shared and experience, there were instances when a physically challenged woman needs to use the bathroom-- the cubicle for the handicapp with an icon of a "wheelchair" it is locked. After a while a NOT HANDICAP lady came out of the cubicle... i was so irritated then. There are so many cubicales for people like her still she opted to use the one for the handicap and the handicap woman waited for her turn. Another observation and complain--peoople especially in the grocery and in taking a ride where there is a need to fall in line-- people will always tend to overtake and if you check on them they'll let you feel that what they do is right.

you are right. many people think that the rules do not apply to them but sure get mad if someone else breaks the rules! here in canada, people that park in handicap spaces without a handicap sticker face huge fines!

hi missybear people talking loudly on the cellphone while also sitting on the toilet in a pu blic restroom. I several times answered as I thought the idiot was calling to me, only to hear'her say, oh Joan some old lady is talking to herself, grrrr. So much for that. then there are the ones walking and talking and not paying a bit of attention. I got run into by one man who was too busy talking to watch where he was walking, and he knocked me to my knees outside my favorite restaurant. He went right on walking and talking, while the others helped me to my feet. they insisted on taking me back into the cafe and getting 'me some coffee. One even managed to find some bandaids and put them on my cut knees.

Agh the 10 items or less thing is a huge pet peeve of mine! I usually will run to wal-mart for just a few items and hate having to wait in line for just a few items so I go to the express lanes and it drives me NUTS to see people in front of me with carts filled and the cashiers not even caring. What is the point of an exress lane if you aren't going to inforce it and I still have to wait 20 minutes in line for my 5 items?!!?

Hey missy! I agree with all of your complaints! People just don't care about other people and if they think they can get away with something then they do! I can't tell you how annoying it is to see how people try to get away with stuff like that when they know damn well that they are in a line that says "10 items or less". But, in the stores that I go to they won't get away with it! Because where I live the people in the line won't let them! I guess us New Yorkers don't stand for as much crap as you Las Vegas people do! You just don't know how many angry people we have here! They will just about get ready to drop their stuff and get ready for a real "throw down"! It doesn't take much to start a fight around here so you really have to watch out because some of the people are really nuts and will start an all out brawl over anything, especially parking spaces!

Hello, People I noticed are just plain rude these days, and some thinks they don't have to obey the rules and laws etc, that is why now a days they are giving out fines and sitations or you can even get jailed for these kind of rules/ laws people are breaking, it may seem so small and simple to some that don't care, but to your life and pockets it can mean a big thing, when you are jailed or have to pay a huge fine. Happy My Lotting!

I hate when that happens to me. Someday I am ging to go to walmart to the 10 items or less and see if they will check me out with like 20 items. Bet they won't lol.

Some people are downright stubborn. Some people are downright illiterate. Some pople are downright ignoring. Pick your choice. My complaint on sunday morning? My backwaist is hurting me....

the issue on handicap signs not followed does not happen only in supermarkets, it happens almost everywhere. what makes the situation worst for persons with disablities is the fact that the issue of "accessibility" is not well undertood by everyone, maybe because most of us take our "completeness" for granted. we have not really felt the pain these people are feeling when they are overlooked. It would be sad if these inequalities happen in government facilities and worse, hospitals. Just imagine a person with disability cannot file a complaint against an establishment because the government building handling the complaints is in itself inaccessible. Whew!

well i havent been to wal-mart yet this morning but im going in a few minutes and i just know i'll find something about that store, but i do have 1 this time of year, when all the northerners come down for the season which started last week they treat them like their idiots well some all but most are ok, last week i was checking out and the bitcJ behind the counter was treating me like im from mars so i told her im a florida native and live in this town and she better straighten up because if she thinks a complant to the manager and 500 bucks in his pocket wont put her on the bread line she better think again and lose the attitude then i asked her how long she's been in florida with that Massachusetts accent she told me a year. well she's no longer working there and it didnt cost a penny. they dont wanna screw with me.

oh I know what you mean about the handicapped that is my pet peeve I am handicapped my spine is twisted an I don't use the handicapped because I figure someone needs it more then I do swo even on the days I should use it cause my whole back is killing me I don't cause like I said someong might need itmore an someone who don't jumps in there once at my moms store a cop pulled up in his car not a cop car an went to the handicapped spot I went in an said something to my mom an she jump all over him an he said I was just getting a drink I wont be long boy did she go after him he never parked there again another thing the gets me is CELL PHONES while driving we habve had 8 dirrent car wrecks a couple were just teens an they were texting while driving come on people pull over some where to text if its that important

Hi missybear, Just stumbled across this 3 month old discussion. I can so so relate to getting behind someone in the express lane that has 30 some odd items!! I just would feel like such a jerk. Heck, just last week I did a quick count of my items before entering the express that said 14 items or less. I counted 14. As I'm putting them up on the counter, I realize that I forgot the bread, and 2 packages of english muffins in the little seat area so ultimately I had 17 items. I felt bad and appologized to the clerk and the lady behind me. They both kind of laughed but still....way way more and that is just being inconsiderate. Handicapped parking: I would not do it, could not do it. Even if there are 10 blank handicapped spots, I won't do it. The fines are outrageous and it is just not a nice thing to do. Umm...exiting the enter door or entering the exit door....I am so guilty. I don't mean to do that but I do it all the time. I honestly don't even notice unless someone (usually my daughter) points it out. I will say on my behalf that if I see people coming in a certain door, It is kind of a signal not to migrate to that particular door.

Now that I have to park in handicapped parking spots it does irritate me when they are all full especially if a fancy sports car is parked in one with a tag hanging off of the mirror. I have actually watched young healthy people pop back into these cars and go off on their merry way. Obviously it was their grandmothers tag. it makes me upset since I have trouble walking and will just not go to that store if I have to walk too much just to get inside.
