Anytime i pick a check out at the supermarket i get stranded! either check out assistant doesn't know a price for customer ahead of me, or else needs to change her roll, has entered the wrong price has to wait for supervisor to fix it, whatever! Anything that can go wrong with previous customer always happens! In fact i had it all! Including a fire alarm just as i put my first item on the conveyor!!! Most people seem to have an easy ride whereas i never do. I've tried Tesco, Superquinn, Dunnes', Marks and Sparks and Asda when we go up north! Invariably happens to me. Argh!!! Help someone!!! Anyone please!!!

I think you should stop thinking that way and start thinking that you're blessed...We always assume the worst because that's what we can see happening at the time. But what if all of these times you were spared something? What if within that timeframe that Skipper couldn't get the pricing right, some idiot ran a red light? Maybe no one was hit, but if you had been out there? Who knows? Maybe you have angels watching for you that like a little mischief, but ultimately are doing their job? Be patient and start looking at it from a different perspective, it really will start to crack you up (in a good way) after awhile. Once I resigned myself to it, it is just funny now. So I just read the tabloids at the checkout because I know I'm going to be there for awhile. So I'm now the penultimate expert on Brad and Angie

Don't worry mate! I seem to be cursed a lot of the time too and in other ways I guess I'm blessed.
I keep trying to remind myself to be positive as I am generally a negative person. I guess life experiences make you think a certain way.
I think these tills are always breaking down anyway.
I think that if you are really cursed in that way you should not let the evil get a hold of you. If you should stand up to it and just brush it off as if it's nothing and even smile and joke about it. The good in you is greater than any evil out there. The Bible says: "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." The power of God can deliver any evil.

Does seem a bit persecutory doesn't it? Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair? Why does one person seem to get all the breaks and the other person get all the bad hands?
"For every action their is an equal and opposite reaction."
There will come a time when you are not "waiting", every thing, every passage, just seems to clear as you approach. But first you have to let go of the feeling, which here sounds like exasperation. So, we are standing there in line and every dumb *** in the world is in front of us, so we relax and say to ourselves, "Man that was a wonderful movie I saw last night?" And then drop into your own imagination, which will keep you entertained and the line will open up in no time.

Bad luck. You might have a spirit angry at you. It would help to turn your feelings around the other way. Don't take it so seriously, learn to laugh when things get ridiculously hard. I might suggest that you clean your house, put a pinch of salt in each corner, and maybe leave a plate with a cookie or something on it out. Outloud, say 'this cookie is for you'. The cookie is for the house. A little bribery can be helpful. Try it and see if it helps you any.

Interestingly you are not cursed you have an annoying gift. You are being nudged to think about your roll in the world. But you will need to think it through to find the answer, its not for anyone to tell you.
One example is of the person who seems to break things, but its not deliberate. That person manages to pick up the item that has a flaw, these people would do well in checking products, business, etc.
So you see how to think through what the gift is you have.

You have the dreaded supermarket curse. The second you turned away from the local corner shops, the shopkeeper lay a curse onto you. Forever you will be taunted by demons that scratch the barcodes and eat the receipt roll as you queue. The only cure is to go to the shopkeeper that cursed you and throw teabags at him while chanting "weh oh weh oh, weh oh weh oh" for a day and a quarter.
Good luck, cursed one.

No, you're not cursed, that's just the way it is. That also happens to me. You get in line, wait and either the person in front of you has something that has no price and they have to hunt it down, the register goes out, etc. I try to use the self-check out things now, but as sure as I'm standing there in a hurry something will scan wrong, then I'm the one standing there waiting for someone to come and fix it. *sigh*

That's Life. You have just proved that 'Life's not plain sailing' but this touch of paranoia won't help you a bit. Just cool down, take it all in your stride, see the funny side - and when your stress levels have calmed you will stop noticing that these things are happening to you alone.
Be advised - you are one step away from 'Supermarket Rage' (a bit like Road Rage but without the wheels).

It's the old lady who slowly counts her change out at the till and always pays in pennies that gets me. All I can suggest is that you just watch the queues very carefully and try a bit of strategy. Imagine that it's like a game of chess. Perhaps you could also read the art of war, but apply it to survial in a supermarket. Best of luck!

Next time you go shopping, look out for a woman who has her kids with her. After you watch for only a couple of minutes of her kids screaming, throwing tantrums, running around, running away from her and pulling thing off the shelves you WILL realise that your not so bad off!
P.S Don't go behind her in the check out!
LoL XxX
