One of my pet peeves is stores that set up their displays so close that just one cart sufficiently blocks the entire aisle for anyone else to get by.

Saw Mythbusters in the headline, came here to see bulls exploding. Disappointed.

Can you imagine how many hundreds of hours of footage of a cat not having anything to do with their experiment they would have got?
Until they turn the cameras off for ten seconds and the cat knocks everything off the shelves and goes back to sleep again.
