. that is SO funny. I have wanted to do stuff like that before,Aldi sometimes brings me to the brink, when youve been waiting in a line for ages, then they open the next lane up, and everyone swarms forward even if they havent been in the sodding queue in the first place. I have never had the guts tho,so good for you!!

I hated it when the non English speaking customers would reserve their place in the line with their trolley while they buggered off to get Omo shitting washing powder, it was always them and when you asked them to move their trolleys, you were greeted with the raised hands and gestures that said 'I dont speak English'.

Except they were lying and I know this when there was a bitch fight and tugging of hair between a Somalian woman and an Irish woman - all because a trolley was parked in the waiting line and when this Irish lady moved the trolley, several minutes later she was met with the angry Somalian lady who suddenly opened her mouth and her command of swearing was actually excellent.

In a hissy fit one day when a woman - again 'me no speak English' left her basket to reserve her place, I asked her not to do it and she said in broken English, 'I dont understand' and then left it.

I was furious so I am ashamed to admit and yes I am ashamed, I ripped her bread and smashed her eggs in the basket - I was demented, I had been working all day and I was exhausted but it was no excuse, the cashier watched in amazement/horror as I ruined her basket of goods.

I was quite into it as well and I looked up to see several people watching. The woman in front of the basket that was in front of me laughed and said 'I think you had better go next'

So I went next to pay and then this woman came back and made some tooth sucking noises and looked accusingly at all of us at the sight of her damp egg box and assaulted bread.

Thank god noone said anything, but what annoyed me further was the broken English managed to say in a strong accent 'Who the hell did that to my basket?'

I didnt go back for some time and Mr PP is still embarrassed when I mention it.

I hate Netto, fricking hate it and like Liptons Tea it ought to be illegal.

(I will add this is not the only time I have broken someones eggs either - Mr PP does the shopping now)

I get supermarket rage, Ive seen people have a fight at Denim Car Boot sale once and I laughed but I am as bad because I get supermarket rage.

Actually Mr PP can laugh all he likes because he got banned from a supermarket in Devon for throwing this guy over an entire display of Nescafe jars. This bloke was following my husband round the shop and whacking him with the trolley in the back of his legs. Mr PP asked him to stop, asked him what the problem was and this guy started to abuse him.

Mr PP tried to walk off and got a whack in the back of his legs so he picked the guy up and threw him into the coffee jar display. Security guards cornered Mr PP as this guy scrambled about the coffee which stank the place out and look like liquidized shit as some other things broke as well.

They told Mr PP they were going to call the police, so Mr PP said 'you will have to catch me first' and ran off to the guard yelling 'you are banned'.

He didnt go back for ages.

We do it as firefighters too - don't feel too concerned about it - but any aggro and it's a matter for the cops - who are around - but don't want to do it.

In general though, I feel that it's just getting things working safely in the community.
