trolley rage 

1. noun. Origin: road rage, bus rage. Feelings associated with attempting to shop at a store whose layout allows no more than 10 people to comfortably shop (e.g. a Trader Joe's grocery store). Note: Trolley is the British word for 'shopping cart'.

Trolley rage example: Lex hits up a small grocery store looking to get in and get out after grabbing some ice cream, milk, and cereal. He grabs a small shopping cart (trolley) and takes off for the dairy section. On the way he is forced to stop and wait for a woman in front of him, who has no idea Lex is behind her, stop and read the daily special advertisement. The stopping was no big deal, but two seconds later, Lex must stop for a kid, who is lying in the floor playing with a new toy, before moving to the cereal section.

Trolley Rage

Trolley Rage:
A form of road rage that happens in UK supermarkets. It’s when impatient, angry shoppers clash over aisle space, bump into each other, and let egos collide. Usually, it involves people pushing shopping trolleys, though sometimes they carry baskets. Shoppers treat trolleys like cars, and tensions can lead to cutting each other up with trolleys, just like cars cut each other up. This often leads to shouting insults, swearing, and sometimes even real fights. You might even see people waiting outside supermarkets like “trolleys at dawn.”

Lee: Bruv, did you see that video on YouTube of them two old boys going at it in Morrison’s car park? LOL Proper funny, The wife had to step in, and the bloke filming was like, “Oi, you’re of age, calm down, behave yourself LOL.
