Thread: Break Down at the Grocery

While i was pregnant I had a melt down because of a grocery store! well kinda.

I was sitting at work and decided that i had to have a decent steak for dinner, and i was going to cook one! so after having had a very long day at work, (i was exhausted - i was 7 months pregnant!) i went straight to the store, walked around through the masses of afterwork shoppers getting more and more frustrated with the crowds, got everything i needed, finally got to the checkout, and the asssistant rung it all up.

it was at that moment that i realised i'd left my wallet in the car, and had to put the sale on hold and the line of people at the checkout, while i went to my car to get it.

when i got back to the checkout i realsied i had zero cash on me, and had to use a card. this was fine, so i pulled the card out and we tried to put the sale through. turned out that the card issuer was having "technical problems" and the sale was unable to go through. i rang the bank and wanted to know what was going on and got told that i couldnt purchase anything until they'd sorted it out.

so after all this, i have to leave my precious steak at the store and go home. i'm furious that i've wasted all this time trying to get something for dinner that i am now CRAVING like crazy, and walk inthe door at home and burst into tears becuase i cant have steak for dinner!! i'm stil really upset about it when DP came home about half an hour later, but by this stage i'd worked myself into such a state that he thought something had happened!!

to top it all off it was close to my birthday, and his mother had left a card and a gift for me adn the card was soooo sweet, it just made me worse!

he laughed at me when he found out why i was so upset. But the reason he laughed was when he asked me what was going on, i replied (insert hysterical pregnant woman here) "they told me i couldn't have steak for dinner, and i've got no money so i cant buy it. *sniff* *burst into tears again and dont complete story* "

Thanks for the warning guys, I am now going to avoid grocery shops until after the baby is born. They seem to bring out the worst in pregnant ladies. I wonder if the staff who work there have to have special "how to deal with pregnant women" training.

Doubtful seeing as most of the spotty teenagers are dead rude!!

Heyyyyyyyyyyy im a spotty teenager

My emmotions are on edge at the grocery store because they have it wayyyyyyyy too hot in there.. I'm already hot enough like an oven.. And when i'm hot and surrounded by a ton of people I don't know who are already crabby then i'm super crabby. AND they do not have any place to sit down when you feel like you are going to fall over. Its extremely hot in our grocery store.. Yet they seem to still have the heater on. Guess they do not realize its not winter here. We are hitting 80F...

Well I haven't had a breakdown out doors yet. It always seems to happen in the house. Like the other day I had washed clothes and didn't know one of DH's white T-shirts was in with the colors. So needless to say it turned a shade of blue. When he asked me about it I said you know what I'll never wash any of your damn clothes again! Then just birst out crying. He let me calm down and later came and told me he loved me. We did a lil making up and I felt so much better! I HATE HORMONES!!!

First I have to tell you that my hormones must be going CRAZY because I have been overly emotional all week!! Ok, and last Sat. I did NOTHING but sit in the house ALL DAY! So, I asked my DH if we could go out and do something! At least go to a store and walk around. So, we did. But we didn't go to the store I wanted (even thought I didn't tell him), so we stopped at the grocery store on the way home to pick up a few things and as soon as we get in, he starts to lecture me about how we need to get some food that I will eat since according to him, I don't eat enough. So, I get upset and he says what is your problem? I BURST into tears!! We start to fight in the middle of the grocery store. We probably stood there for 15 min. just yelling at each other and I'm sobbing the entire time!! He finally told me that he absolutely LOVES me and couldn't live without me and if I wanted we could go anywhere and do anything. And he was SO wonderful. I felt so much better!! We ended up coming home and taking a nap, but still I could have gone out to dinner or something! Ok, I feel better now that I made a complete fool of myself in the grocery store!! Ok, sorry I had to vent! Thanks for listening to me!

Wow, You're 16 weeks already!!!!!

You 2 must of made a scene, huh? My emotions are much more calmer for some reason these days. But I had my share of sobbing, thats for sure!

Thanks girls! I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one!! CRAZY hormones!!

Oh baby - Im sorry!!
What is it about Grocery Stores and breakdowns with preg women??? It always seems to be about eating to much or little or "you cant buy that!!"
Its quite funny really!
The good thing is baby, you will look back at this and have a good laugh!
DH and I did after I burst into tears and yelled "Im not fat! Incase you hadnt noticed your wife is pregnant!"
DH got an earful from a couple of customers for being insensitive and we laughed about it the next morning.
We all have them baby!! Sound like with the baby starting to kick etc its all happening for you.
Glad you shared it with us though!! xxxxxxx
