Sizing. Why it's never standard. A size 14 should be the same everywhere. And don't get me started on jeans. Why on earth you can never get a right fit is beyond me. No 2 pairs are ever the same.

The entire experience is terrible. You can’t get everything in one shop, not all shops have online services for stock checking or click and collect. Let me order before hand, and spend less than 10 minutes at your store collecting it, so I can get on with my day!

Fact. Really hard. Everything has to ordered and call back then Tailored to fit. Even dressy shoes I went up 1 size when they changed manufacturers to Asia.

Ha ha my late wife used to be terrible for jeans, she was very fussy. Also she used to complain bitterly about the fact a decent pair of jeans £40 to £50 say but denim shorts £60 to infinity, she used say the less you get the more you pay!

We both really hated grocery shopping at the weekend, we were earlier adopters of the supermarkets delivery schemes and now very very rarely get foot in a supermarket. Best thing we ever did, it was saving us anywhere between £20 & £50 per shop as we no longer impulse buy.

Jeans are my nemesis, try them on and they are borerline cutting off the blood circulation to your feet, within 25 mins of wearing them it looks like you are have a full diaper on and the bastards are shapeless and baggy…. Why can’t they just fit nicely initially and stay like that rather than stretching or relaxing or whatever the right term is.

Basically this. If I go looking for something particular, it can never, ever be found. If I am not looking for anything, I see things I like. And don't get me started on wheelchair accessible changing rooms in clothes shops (or lack thereof

I played Supermarket Sweep with my kids in big supermarkets.

I'd give them 3 staples to get each and tell them where I'm heading.

They loved it and didn't get bored.

Shopping is terribly boring.

This, sizing is so inconsistent, in so many shops. Otherwise, I love shopping, though usually just do it online, better deals and no people.

People who steer their trolleys with their elbows. Bloody well stand up and push it properly - you'll be able to steer much better and not crash into other people.

Oh and having to wait forever for an assistant to age check you at a self service till for alcohol. Defeats the object of getting in and out quickly entirely.

This too I'm one size in kne shop and bigger/ smaller in another the problem is that just make sizes not to fit the shape of the body if they did we would all be able to get proper fitting clothes

Ah yes, the “did you get the bread” / “Ah fuck” moment.

The peak level of annoyance for this is when you go out to buy one item, buy 10 others and still forget the one item you really needed.
