Do you enjoy shopping? I do. Well, except for the nonsense.

What do I mean?

Is there anywhere in the U.S. where it's legal to drive on the left side of the road? Then why, while shopping in grocery stores do people insist on this? Stick to the right! They don't, though, so I'm going to tell you how to deal with these people.

First, I always take a cart in Wal-Mart, a grocery store or anywhere else where carts are available. Why? Because I utilize them as shields. No cutomer without a cart is going to walk into a cart, and people who have carts don't want to crash into another cart.

This isn't enough. Here's the secret: If you are pushing a shopping cart and you see someone basically heading in your direction, start looking UP. Act as if you are looking at products on the top shelf or the ceiling, it doesn't matter, these people who like to intimidate count on your knowing they are doing it. If you act like you don't see them they will get out of your way. This also works if you are walking without a cart in a crowded area. For some reason, there are people who like to intimidate us by walking right towards us even if we are walking on the right. Some of them may be from countries where the sides are reversed but if they see someone walking towards them but not aware of them, they WILL get out that person's way.

Most of the time, it'll be a pushy person who on some level wants to make you get out of their path.

And that's just nonsense.
