Cart Anxiety

I have a rather currious and illogical aversion to shoping carts, or rather I should say particuarly to using/pushing the shoping cart. There is just something about pushing a shoping cart around that I reeally do not like, and primairly becasue doing so just feels so "domestic" in my mind, though never mind the fact that I do plently of other things which can be qualified as "domestic" of which do not really bother me, and the fact that usually the only place I would ever be using a shopping cart is at the pet store. So it is not even like pushing one around in a supermarket. Not that there is anything wrong with doing that for a sane and rational person.

And it is not like some sort of "trying to look cool" thing, or thinking somehow that it dosen't look cool to be pushing a shopping cart, becasue well for one thing everyone else there is doing the same thing, and I really do not think they are paying any attention to me whatsoever, and I am not worried about what anyone else thinks, it has completely to do with my own personal image of myself. Whenever I am behind a shopping cart, I just get this weird feeling about it. It just doesn't feel right to me, and I don't like it.

I think part of it is that when I am pushing a shopping cart I just feel impeded upon or restritritced, I do not feel "free" becasue I have this big bulky thing in which I have to navagate around and I like to feel more open and fluid and it is true I do have an odd habbit of randomly dancing when I am in stores. Usually it is if the store happens to be playing music. But when I am in public I do like to break into random dance at times, sometimes I will just get a song stuck in my head that I will start dancing around to while I am walking around in a store.

Shopping Carts

I am behind in my blog reading so I'm glad to have read this. Very interesting. The more I picture it, the more I can see what you mean. The mental picture of someone with a shopping cart is someone moving slowly, stopping, adding more stuff, making a couple of trips crisscrossing the store looking for something they can't find. Another reason for moving slowly is that maybe they aren't looking forward to a long session at the checkout, high prices, packing and unpacking the car, putting it away..now I'm really depressed.

There is this one store in my town, that does have shopping carts, but it's impossible to even fit it into some of the aisles. I don't know why they even bother. I don't usually use shopping carts anyway. I use baskets instead. Then again, the store I usually shop at, is just down my street, like 200 yards away.
