To still be annoyed at a comment made?

[BlueCat2010]

Popped down to Tesco's earlier today to grab a few bits with DH and DS x 2. When we were checking out the checkout lady picked up some ready made mash that we had selected and said with a sneer 'oh now that IS cheating!'

After picking up my jaw from the floor I growled, 'well sometimes you need to cheat, particularly when you work full time and have two small children!'

Before anyone starts, it is for a meal that I need to prepare in a hurry next week, and usually I would do a meal from fresh ingredients!

I'm sitting here thinking that it wasn't right for me to have had to have justified my selection, AIBU?

I often get inspiration from other people's trolleys and baskets - and even more often, I remember something that I forgot.

Has anyone ever pinched anything that they forgot from someone else in front's shopping when it's on the conveyor belt...?

agentzz - I think you might have the beginnings of an excellent thread there...

YANBU! I sometimes feel like almost daring the person on the till to pass comment on my shopping...not happened yet though I do have several colleagues (late 20s, no children) who are always talking about the importance of cooking from scratch, why on earth would people buy prepared veg, ready meals etc to which I just do the face and think to myself it will all change when they have children....!

I'm always up for a thread methods.

But I should warn you, I'll hold you personally responsible if I get flamed or nobody posts on it and I look a right saddo not being able to start a piss up in a brewery

She is outrageous! Not her place to comment on people's purchases. I would have complained about her to the management.
