An Unpleasant Shopping Trip

 Yesterday could’ve been just like any other Thursday… But it wasn’t. 

We’ve slowly started preparing for Christmas, by buying as many Christmas dinner supplies as possibly could fit in our fridge and freezer. The point of the whole mission would’ve been to avoid huge traffic in shops, however they were already packed with people! The whole mall was full of people and unfortunately I can’t say that it would’ve been any different in the grocery store. 

Slowly we packed our cart, while trying to avoid as many people as possible; until the whole cart was full of the things we needed. The grocery store has two floors usually the upper level has less people than the other, mostly because the upper level has a smaller parking lot and maybe people are also trying to avoid getting to the upper floor to minimize the useless crap they would buy. 

Anyway, we got to the point where we only had to pay and leave, however there was a middle aged man in front of us in the line. The cashier started beeping his things while we packed everything on the table/counter(?). We left a small gap between his and our stuff to avoid touching the thingy that is supposed to separate two costumers’ stuff. However suddenly a lady arrived, said something like sorry, and then started packing on the counter in front of our stuff. As it turned out she was with her maniacal husband who was a impatient bastard who couldn’t wait for his woman to get her shit together. We didn’t really understand the situation how dared that halfwit lady cut us off, but we were like ‘ookay you do you…’ however the story didn’t end here. She started packing her stuff on ours and the cashier didn’t notice it. Neither the impatient sods. The cashier beeped already 2-3 items till our friends realized they didn’t buy 4 liters of milk. The cashier had to delete them from the system and got super angry with us! Wtf?! We weren’t the jackasses in this situation we could’ve get away with avoiding to use the Covid-stick — that’s what it really is! I wonder how often are those things washed — however that moron cut as off and screwed us… At this point I would’ve tell them off if I was sure they spoke the same language as I do.

This story really pissed me off, I wanted to write about different thing for today’s blog, but I can’t get over this story…

Oh, and to make the shopping experience even worse there was a huge traffic jam on the way out of the store’s parking lot! Because some lunatic in the council of Warsaw decided to rebuild a stretch of road in front of the store and to make things even worse they’ve also turned off the traffic lights! So a 4 lane highway turned into a one lane road with no lights, but an extremely busy intersection. It took us 15 minutes to do 300 meter and another 5 minutes to join the main street… Congratulations to all the heroes of today’s blog! Without them I probably would have wrote about soup or something…

I’ll finish it here today because I’m getting pissed of again…

Thanks for ready and please don’t be a retarded.

Last Day in Warsaw

Image
  Our last day in Warsaw… When we got up the whole apartment was basically completely empty. Nothing was left, but a few backpacks, the food in the fridge, and the clothes we were about to put on. It was really sad. To start the morning exciting, and cheer ourselves up a bit we started our day in Costa Café or the Nero café — I honestly have no idea — where instead of coffee we drank chai latte. Sari did made me chai latte before, but since we don’t have either a printer nor the balls to print money we used cheep coffee and cheep chai thingy, which meant I was almost drinking something completely different. I absolutely loved the chai latte they gave me, so did Sari. Bummer, I wish I knew about this earlier. After our coffee break we packed everything and headed for the last shopping, we bought the little things that were absolutely needed for our successful trip home: bread, doughnuts, and the missing kinda beers. It was a successful trip. Then we drove home, prepared our meals fo...

Eastern Poland

  Yesterday we broke the record of the number policeman we have met ever in a day. They were everywhere. However before getting in to that we started our day in Bialystok. Where it was -10°C in the morning! I got us some breakfast then till Sari packed our staff I went to get our car. While I was walking to it I checked all the cars on the street how icy were they trying to assume how thick ice cover did my car grow overnight. Luckily the car was only covered with some snowish loose staff that was easy to get rid off with a broom. However in the inside everything was frozen. The motor didn’t even start for the first time, then when it finally started it sounded like when you didn’t put the dishes properly in the washing machine and everything falls out, that was the exact same noise my motor was sounding. It was definitely not pleasant.  The temperature had risen to -8°C by the time we got to our first stop. It was the Church of Trezescinka: a beautiful huge wooden church with...

Sunday Market

  Yesterday we went to the Sunday Market. Or actually we went to a Sunday market – I suppose there are several Sunday markets all over Warsaw. The one we went to is called Gielda Staroci na Kole. Although it wasn’t as big as the Sunday market in Pécs, I still wouldn’t call it small. As we saw they mostly sell porcelains, old coins, tools, and similar useful goods. Visiting this market was quite an experience! The market itself takes place at a closed garden, but the garden seems to be not big enough for all the sellers, some of them sell their staff on the street right next to the market! First, we didn’t even know what’s up with that place. We didn’t see the conception. It took some time and some walking for us to comprehend what’s going on. I might’ve told you earlier, my plan was to buy a bike, so I could ride it to the uni, so one of the reasons we went to the market to see if they have bikes, if they have how much they cost, and what they look like. Well unfortunately they ...
