I wonder if there is any correlation between bag packing preference and the opinion of whether Aussies are laid back or not?

Then there is the mad rush to get everything out of the trolley while you try to pack it all and scrounge around for your purse at the same time, while the next person is already trying to push their way through with their trolley!
I tried my hardest to only buy groceries during the week but this was hard with the hours I worked, the people were so much worse on the weekend, someone even rammed their trolley into mine after I dared to cross their path to get over to the next aisle!
God knows why everyone can't just chill out and maybe even smile once in a while!
in tesco i simply pack at a relaxing pace.... because that's the sort of life I want to live.

I also spoke to the workers...

it really annoyed some other customers ... but such is life.

I have 2 photos. One was taken by my good self when my member was being serviced by my flatmate's visiting sister (she was visiting him, but made a detour). The other was taken next to a military beret capbadge for the kiosk girl to find.

The first was removed from circulation and destroyed as I am a gentleman, the other is in an old album in the bookcase.
