AIBU?

WIBU to have weighed the skin?!

MalkieFraser · 19/02/2013 19:50

Probably, but I could do with finding out what others would have done. I was in Tesco earlier swithering over which biscuits to buy, 19 month daughter in her pram happily shouting "Hiya" to everybody when an elderly lady stopped to speak to her. We exchanged a bit of chatter about her grand kids as my daughter pointed to the contents of her trolley and yelled "banana!" "Oh do you like bananas?" the lady asked. Quick as a flash she had one peeled and had handed it to my daughter who was absolutely delighted. I said "Aw, thanks" and strolled off thinking how sweet it was, before I realised my daughter was Grazing Without Paying. All I could think about was freaking Mumsnet. Who knows what my natural reaction would have been? (Probably to have let her finish it then stash the skin behind the Cheerios) When I finished and went to pay I weighed the skin and paid at the self serve... It was 9p btw

You weighed the skin ? That is bonkers ! How cute are you for being so honest.

MrsKeithRichards · 19/02/2013 20:00

Lol! You're crazy in a lovely way!

MalkieFraser · 19/02/2013 20:02

I considered selecting another similar sized banana, weighing it, paying, then putting it back amongst it's banana friends, but that is really bonkers!

Ha! It's the thought that counts?!

I shall not sleep at night until I know that your daughter and supermarket banana-wielding elderly lady are safely behind bars.

The missing/eaten portion of the nation's favourite yellow fruit v what was paid for for the skin must amount to at least 12p.

It's crimes like this that have led to the breakdown in today's society. Why just this morning I spied a tit atop a bottle of milk on someone's doorstep. Helping himself, bold as brass he was.

He was laughing on the other side of his cream-rimmed beak when I took his swad off with my trusty blunderbuss.

Bah.

Thieving tit got no less than he deserved

Malkie - I don't stray into AIBU very often; not sure if I pitched my level of outrage correctly.

FlowerTruck · 19/02/2013 20:18

I can't stop thinking about this. It's the most bonkers thing I've ever read on here, and I've read some bonkers stuff.

FlowerTruck · 19/02/2013 20:22

I witnessed a bird taking a shit on my gate post the other day. Shit not there earlier, but I spotted in when I went out, and I'd been admiring the pretty birdie. Should have charged it for the water and soap I used to clean it.If I was Insane enough to clean gate posts

TalcAndTurnips · 19/02/2013 20:28

You see, Flower?

Even our feathered friends think it's tickety-boo to open their bowels wherever they please and steal the best bits of our doorstep deliveries.

Thatcher's bloody Britain. I ask you.

MalkieFraser · 19/02/2013 20:29

Birds are getting a bad name for themselves today. Tbh I expected more wrath. Had steeled myself and everything

I'm going to wear something really cute and hang around near the gin section of the wines and spirits aisle, let's see how it works for me!

"Gin! Gin!"

TalcAndTurnips · 19/02/2013 20:36

Binfull - there's a name for that sort of carry-on and it ain't cute.

FlowerTruck · 19/02/2013 20:38

Binfull that Is such a good plan. Hic !

Binfullofmaggotsonth45 · 19/02/2013 20:49

HahTalc I thought of it first. Jealous much?

Now shhh you'll scare off the doting granddads. Go take up an adjoining position in the Slimline tonic aisle......

Flobbadobs · 19/02/2013 21:21

Banana friends.

TalcAndTurnips · 19/02/2013 21:24

Binfull loitering in Wines & Spirits waiting for someone to come along and fill her bottle with Tanqueray No. 10.

Binfullofmaggotsonth45 · 19/02/2013 22:05

Damn security cameras.

and there was me thinking I was looking like this...

maddening · 19/02/2013 22:45

You could weigh dd on way in then at the till.

Morloth · 20/02/2013 05:09

Ooooh it has been so long since we had a good eating in the supermarket thread. I really enjoyed the last one (it is possible I need to get a life).

I usually just weigh another banana twice.

I thought this was going to be a male circumcision thread.
Sooo disappointed.

I thought it was going to be something else entirely. Not sure what, maybe a serial killer who disenskins people and nicks their bones and muscles while leaving the coating? pay per pound flab removal gone wrong.
