To think it was unnecessary for my Tesco man to discuss my tampons on my doorstep?

[poopscoop]

Mrs Poop: 'Morning, how are you?'

Mr Tesco ' Morning, just the one substution today, sper plus tampons instead of super plus extra, is that ok?'

Mrs Poop ' oh err, yes thats fine '

Now I know these are a fact of life, but really, did he have to say that? Why not just say, 'just the one substitution' and let me deal with it?

So AIBU or nay?

[poopscoop]

super

[Lulumama]

Did he announce it in loud ,ringing tones, having ensured all your neighbours were outside first??

if so YANBU

of not then YABU

anyway , you should be using a mooncup!

[lal123]

YABU

[HellHathNoFury]

I have no answer but I do think it's rather funny

Especially since I ordered germoloids and had a similar fear

[PM73]

Sorry but this has given me a chuckle on a quite horrible day.

[paisleyleaf]

If he's like most blokes I know....he'll have been more embarrassed than you.
They may have even drawn straws for that job (double )

[burningupinspeed]

YABU, if you don't want to discuss tampons then don't get them delivered!

... or get a Mooncup...

[GrinnyPig]

A teensy bit unreasonable, but I'm now extra pleased I didn't order the Durex gels that were on special offer this week.
"sorry, Mrs G, 'feel' is out of stock, will you be happy with 'tingle'?"

[PresidentTaylor]

lol

[poopscoop]

lulu i have a mooncup but need those for the extra heavy days.

Yes it was very loud. You know one of those 'Allo darlin' types with a Sid James laugh to boot.

I think he thoroughly enjoyed saying it tbh, there was no shame on his part. Bet he had a good laugh with his mates down the pub after.

Neighbs were putting bins out, so yes, they would have heard

[poopscoop]

Yes on reading germaloids and Durex posts, could have been much much worse I suppose.

I will accept I am a teeny weeny bit U.

[FairLadyRantALot]

oh rofling here....and rofling even more at GP's durex gel scenario...now that would have been embaressing...

[MamaLazarou]

Ha ha, how embarassing! I would have been absolutely mortified!

(How I wish mooncups worked for me)

[PatTheHammer]

YANBU, this happened to me the other week with Durex when it was BOGOF on the 12 packs. I ordered 2 different types (not sure why, variety for the sake of it??) and they sent 2 of the same. Its bloody well WRITTEN DOWN so why they have to discuss it I have no idea, they could just hand you the sheet and say...is that all ok?

Secretly think they like to pick out the embarrassing ones to add a little spice to their day

[poopscoop]

oh god PTH - I would have died at that!

[PatTheHammer]

I just laughed, since I had a 5mth baby on my hip and a 3yr old I guess he understood the need for Durex

Made a mental note never to order lube though......

[MarmadukeScarlet]

Ye gods what would they send instead of that, olive oil?

[AnyFucker]

poops, you were a teensy bit precious IMO

tampons are a fact of life

even for men

[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

I think you are being a bit U. He was letting you know what the change was, before you unpacked your shopping, in case you didn't want it.

I guess he noticed you were a woman and probably assumed you had periods, or someone in your house did. Heck, maybe he even knew what they were.

[MmeLindt]

[PatTheHammer]

Mmelindt.... please no need to be jealous, that will probably last all year at this rate

[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

Make a start tonight....

A friend of ours who is the home shop manager for our store has many a tale to tell of shopping substitutions. His first time out on the van was indeed a substitution of condoms. They are advised to let the customer know vocally of what has been altered on their shop. He didn't check the sheet first, just knew there was a change. So he greets the customer with a broad smile and lets them know he has their shopping in a nice loud confident voice "just one substitution today sir, lets see {consults list} erm...uh...yes...thats normal instead of erm {whispers by this point} ribbed condoms. Are you happy with that?" He says he always consults the list beforehand now
