To tell this lad off in Tesco today?

[SeeJaneKick]

Oooh...I KNOW I'm going to get told I am weird.

I was in Tesco and the young lad at the till was getting me some bags...he got thefirst off by SLOBBERING on his fingers and handing me the bag sopping wet...I actually FELT his spit on the bag...he went to get another and did the same....lickety-lick...spitty-spitty-slobbery-slurp

....so I said "Don't lick your fingers please, I can feel your saliva all over the bag."

He was like

And so I got all British and said "It's nothing personal...I have OCD"

WHich I do....but still...surely this would be gross to a non OCD person!?

Was I BU?

A to tell him

B to get all Brit and apologetic about it.

Yaddddddddddddddddddnbu.

Gross.

YANBU to say that.

YABU to think it is British to apologise, though, as surely the 'British' way would have been to say 'Hem, er, look, that's all right, I'll just take the bag myself, shall I', but so quietly he couldn't hear?

Lol Peasant....you're right! I wasn't very British at all was I!?

It's SO common though...people licking their fingers to han you a bag....BLEUGH!Plus he had really long nails! BLEEEUUURGGH!

Its not nice.
But I think the OCD comment (unless you really do have it) was wrong the more people who 'mock' this condition the more it belittles genuine sufferers.

i think the cashiers in tesco have to put up with lots of very odd people, he is probably used to it

A YANBU.
B YABU

Nickschick - the OP says she does have OCD though, so is not belittling the condition.

I said I have it Nickschick.

So what are you yabbering about?

I'd say it's nothing to do with OCD more to do with slobber - YUCK!!

Leave me to yabber then sorry

Yes....slobber is gross!

nickschic....sorry to be blunt...I have MIL problems too.

Well that I know alllllll about .

I've just been a bit sick in my mouth.....YANBU, eurgh!

i used to work with a lady who used to lick her finger before flicking through paper and I used to HATE it when she got to the printer before me

YANBU to mention it (yuk)

YABU to use plastic bags at the supermarket

DH would have gone to customer services to complain

AIBU to think that everytime i go in to my tescos that i feel like im walking round Walsall

I would have too Fliss...if I'd have had the bleddy time!

Ewww yanbu

Apparently M&S checkout staff get into trouble if they're caught doing the spit thing. They have a little wet sponge for the purpose.

YANBU

YABU - for apologising

i wouldnt of touched the bag.

infact i would of told his manager he was slobbering on bags and causing a potential health and safety risk with his germ spreading ways!!!

Yet i do have OCD

GAHHHHH urrrgghhhh

Eurgh! YANBU!

It's unhygienic, so it's not unreasonable of you at all!

see this is why the Post office have a wet sponge on the counter

YANBU yuck!! I do lick my fingers before opening plastic bags in supermarkets but just only a little, I certainly do not slobber all over them, well I hope I dont
