Supermarket snitching

34 replies

I’m sitting in the car in the supermarket while DH has taken the kids in. There were no family spaces left so we are parked opposite, NBD.

I’m supposed to be doing work but I’ve been distracted by the fancy sports car which has just pulled in opposite (into a now vacant family space) and thr smartly dressed man who has stepped out and walked into the shop, notably lacking in children.

I’m sorely tempted to write a note “no kids!” stick it to his windshield and hide behind my dashboard to see his reaction when he comes back. But then also v aware I should mind my own business, people have been stabbed for less yada yada.

What would you do (or like to do if you were more brave!)

YABU: get nose back into work.
YANBU: write the note!

Unless you have a baby and pram surely your kids can get out a normal space?

We do have a baby and a toddler. That’s not really my issue though, pre-kids I still would never have parked in a family space.

Another car has just done the same thing, also a single man, this time a big Audi SUV. I never see women or people driving old bangers do it.

Back to work unless you enjoy being a narc. I was once sat in the back of our car holding my crying distraught grandson while my DH dashed into the supermarket to get him a new pair of trousers.

up came some self righteous woman taking photos of our licence plate under the mistaken impression DH was a single man having not clocked us. She soon scuttled off when I stuck my head through the window and asked what she was doing

Go home and put your shopping away.

Smartly dressed, and driving a fancy car? Work is not so interesting I take it!
