Is 'guess HOW MUCH this fucking cost?!?'.

Endless fun. Through my gritted teeth.

Want to play? I'll start.

Bought a fresh focaccia in a local deli thinking it would be a nice lunchtime treat. No price on display. When I got to the till, guess how much this fucking cost?

Plain focaccia by the way - not fancy, quite delicious but not fancy.

EIGHT FUCKING POUNDS.

I have more but why don't you have a go? It's cathartic.

OMG and you BOUGHT it??

custardlover · 08/03/2024 21:14

I'll keep going just because I need to get it out of my system.

Went to the pub for a Sunday roast. Local pub, independent but not a fancy gastro pub.

Lamb roast. Nice, trimmings.

Guess how much it fucking cost?

TWENTY EIGHT POUNDS.
Twenty eight fucking pounds.

And the KID'S MENU WAS SIXTEEN FUCKING POUNDS.

I will play.

Three bags of pick n mix at Captain Candy in croatia.

Was a few years ago but wouldn't bother with inflation.

Yes! I was an embarrassed dickhead and just paid and then savoured every mouthful

My turn-

Dp dropped someone off at Gatwick airport and drove through the ‘dropping off’ zone. How much did that cost him? (He literally only stopped seconds when person got out of car).

HelloMiss · 08/03/2024 21:22

@Riverlee

£6?

DementedPanda · 08/03/2024 21:22

Keep the same one and give it to them again next time they ask - work it through on a cost-per wear basis!

It's any type of shop/market stall where (mainly sweets) are loose and you fill your own bag. This weekend in Thame there is a 'pop up ' market type thing with a fudge store. Bags....help yourself. Priced around £3.80 for 100g. But blocks of fudge so big that 1 block is £4. So you can't have a selection without paying a fortune....and it weighs so heavy! 2 'pieces' of fudge were over £7. But you can't put it back as it's already in your bag. Unethical. Poor parents having to pay.

There is nothing that can top that.

I hope they tasted of celestial nectar and gave you magic powers.
