Tension in the aisles

Doing the weekly shopping isn’t one of my favourite things but, luckily, I can make it more bearable by combining it with my hobby of people watching. One conclusion I have reached through my observations is that couples should probably stop going shopping together some time in their early thirties. Young couples usually seem quite cheerful as they wend their way round the store together, but by the time they get to middle age and beyond, they seem to become progressively more miserable. A lot of the couples I see in my age group seem to make the journey from trolly park to till in a cloud of simmering mutual antipathy; with the odd impatient rebuke managing to break the surface every now and then. Quite often just as I am passing. This leaves me with a mixed feeling of amusement and sympathy, not to mention relief when I remember that that used to be me.
