To want to swap a mouldy apple?

So, whilst shopping today I bought some apples, loose, and when I got home I realised one of them has some mould on that I didn't spot in the shop. AIBU to take this mouldy apple back and ask to swap it for a fresh one?

What now? Can you be bothered?

HecateQueenOfTheNight · 06/05/2011 23:07

well, yes. you could, I suppose. they sold you something that was not fit for human consumption. I think there must be laws on that, are there?

or you could just chuck it in the bin.

I mean, I realise that technically, it's probably within your rights to change it, but can you honestly see yourself going to customer services ?

"good morning madam. I purchased this apple yesterday and as you can see, it is mouldy. May I have a different one, please?"

Really?

If you are quite happy to waste the petrol money and the time and effort then YANBU. :) can only do smiley faces at the min but will get there with growls and stuff... btw how the fuck do you do the crossing out stuff :)

Ems101 · 06/05/2011 23:11

Well I'm going to town tomorrow anyways so it's not like I have to go out of my way. Just think it's crap that they sell mouldy food [hmmm]

I'd just cut the crappy bit off.

It's only an apple.

usualsuspect · 06/05/2011 23:12

Why would you?

lifes too short ,honestly you saddo

charmed185 · 06/05/2011 23:14

Ems: you are NBU to expect to be sold food that is fit for human consumption but is it worth it for one apple?

Ems101 · 06/05/2011 23:14

jesus christ, this was meant to be light hearted :(

AgentZigzag · 06/05/2011 23:14

But that's on you to check if it bothers you.

AgentZigzag · 06/05/2011 23:18

Lighthearted?

On AIBU?

Without any Wink or Grin in the OP?

hahahahahahaha Grin

AgentZigzag · 06/05/2011 23:19

Perhaps it says something about the people we know? ie we all know someone who'd actually do that.

heliumballoons · 06/05/2011 23:19

I think you should - can you record the CS persons response on spycam and post it here. Grin

I can just see it now. 'Er excuse me,............. I bought one of your apples at 14.23 yesterday'...................... Grin

I found a hysterical complaint on you tube once about a pizza - will go and find and linky here.

usualsuspect · 06/05/2011 23:19

sorry .... yes take it back is that better

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 06/05/2011 23:21

charmed185 just look to the right of the Smileys list and you'll see different options including crossing out and others under Emphasis.

Cheers Wine

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 06/05/2011 23:23

O jeez - sorry to butt in folks, somehow got diverted from AIBU.

Have a good night.

IprivateI · 06/05/2011 23:24

Were they golden apples? How much did they cost? Do you seriously have the time and energy to do this? Just cut the mould off and eat the damn thing.

charmed185 · 06/05/2011 23:24

hey get adam to bite it if it is not good then get eve to spit it out. If she had done it in the first place we would not be in the mess we are... brill if i say so myself :)

I thought charmed was asking if you could do a crossed out smiley, now that would be a nasty emoticon. We are not amused Grin

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 06/05/2011 23:28

Jeez, it gets worse. I was on the right board and there was no diversion. Confused

Guess it's time to put Tequila back in fridge. Blush

charmed185 · 06/05/2011 23:29

agent: not a crossed out smiley, crossed out words :)
