Bags, Women, and Baggy Women

Right then ladies!

Your bags are not the Tardis and nor does having 3 bags give you more space to carry things when you put them inside each other!
I think it's happened to everyone, including women. You know, you've been in the queue at a checkout in Tescos and some little old lady in front of you begins to pay for something. Read the below paragraph only if you don't suffer from regular migraines.

First she opens her shoulder bag, then her carry bag in her shoulder bag, then her purse in her carry bag in her shoulder bag, then opens the coin pouch in her purse from her carry bag from her shoulder bag, counts her money out in front of the cashier, cashier counts it again as customer is likely to be senile, cashier gives change, change is counted by lady at checkout, change is put in coin pouch in her purse, purse is put in carry bag, purse inside carry bag is put in shoulder bag....... and she only wanted a fucking Kit-Kat.

GIVE ME A BREAK!

Is it really necessary to carry that many bags? Do you really need all that space? What do you keep in there? Honestly, this is a mystery to me as I've seen less crap come out the back of a removal van than what you can pull out of there.
Fuck me, I wouldn't be surprised if one day I'm in Tescos behind the aforementioned old lady and she proceedes to pull a fucking white rabbit out of it while wearing top hat and tails.

........................

And another thing. Old people. Or more specifically, old people who believe that due to their age they are to be held in high regard and have no need to exchange pleasantries with us common folk.
FUCK. OFF.
Don't get me wrong I was raised to respect my elders and I hope that I have always fulfilled that onus, but I was also brought up to believe that in order to gain respect, you must give it also.
I've lost count how many times I've held the door for them, let them pass, allowed them to go in front of me in a queue somewhere and yet, I can say no more than 10% of them have ever said thank you or done the same in return.

If this kind of behaviour continues your likely to find old women up and down the country holding up checkout queues with their nest of bags, trying desperately to pay for a Tesco Value replacement hip as I've kicked them in the arse!
