Sad truths from personal experience

[StealthPolarBear]

When you bump into your child's teacher in tesco it will always be on the occasion you're buying wine and chocolate. Never on the times your trolley is full of fruit and vegetables.

When you bump into your students in tesco it's always when you're buying wine, chocolate and tampax...

Then you get to the checkout and every single teen you've ever taught now has a job there, your card declines and you have to scrabble around for the emergency fiver in your bag and have to put the wine back

I bumped into an ex boss in Sainsbury’s, it was on the 25% off time on wine. I was there with my trolley full...it was also a the same day he’d received a reference request from me for a new role. I panicked and told him I wasn’t an alcoholic!! I’ve relived this moment ever since, although I did get the job

When they ask you for ID it's always the day you've left your driving licence in your work bag because you needed it to enter secure client sites.

They have red peppers every time you shop, except they’re sold out need one for a recipe.

When you have a rescan at Waitrose it's always a full weekly shop and not when you've just popped in for a top up.
