I know her reasonably well and i get on with her quite well always have abit of achat and that,she said wasn't watching the show i said oh well .She definetly did look like her and her colleague said to me on the quiet maybe she would be offended if i said she looked like Rosemary.I felt a bit awkward and said no she's a super person and i hope she wins the show which was a bit of a white lie really i was just trying to big her up like (I felt like i got my shuffle out ) Over to you .

Bit of a storm in a tea cup if you ask me. I hope it will all blow over .

OP you sound like a character invented by Harry Enfield.

wannabedomesticgoddess · 27/11/2012 20:11

I am both horrified and amused by this thread in equal measure.

The OP sounds like one of those people you nod and smile at in the hope they will fuck off soon and pick on someone else.

Just read this thread in its entirety and both the op and the replies have had me snorting with laughter! Hilarious!

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 28/11/2012 21:13

AIBU that this thread is dying so young?

Can I bring it to the attention of anyone who has not yet seen it?

CajaDeLaMemoria · 28/11/2012 21:15

I told my OH that he looked like Rosemary Shrager last night, quite randomly, to see what he'd say.

He didn't know who she was so he had to Google. Then he threw chips at me, and stuck his tongue out, and stole my lovely warm sleeping kitty cat to take to bed.

It didn't go well. And he looks nothing like her. If he did, I'd probably be single now

wannabedomesticgoddess · 28/11/2012 21:23

:o Caja

I used to think my uncle looked like Robbie Williams. As an adult I really dont know why! Very glad I never told him.

BeRudeNotTo · 29/11/2012 02:32

It was a bit of a surprise to see Rosemary to go tonight.

GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan · 29/11/2012 04:22

Bloody hell this thread has made me laugh.

Get our shuffle out and George Alagiah. Christ you can see that bloke's smile now can't you.

Thanks OP you nutcase

dwagdays · 29/11/2012 05:25

Well done Jesus you helped bring comedy to a shit night of ill children. Didn't think anything could make me laugh outloud. This thread reads like it has been scripted by a talented team.

MsFanackerPants · 29/11/2012 06:36

having worked on the checkout for several years when I was a student, customers who made 'witty' comments used to make my heart sink.Even more so when it was the same comment each sodding week from a regular. It was a combination of a weird power imbalance and the person seeming to have no concept of the fact they weren't fucking funny.

TCforTopCat · 29/11/2012 07:16

I currently work on a checkout part time. A couple asked me if I knew that I looked like someone famous. They kept on and on about it, saying things like if she ever committed a crime the police would pick you up instead. Then they told me who it was. Not complimentary at all Sad.
I really didn't know what to say, but I smiled and laughed along as they are the customer.
It kept going round my head for the rest of my shift.
So please don't make personal comments to people who have to serve you, we can't reply honestly.

EverlongLovesHerChristmasRobin · 29/11/2012 07:22

When I was 18 I worked on a checkout.

This woman cow said I looked like Susan Tully ( Michelle of Eastenders ) Hmm

It was the perm. We had the same perm. That is all.

Even my colleague on the next till said ' don't be so cheeky she does NOT ' Grin

Be kind to those checkout people Wink

Oh my god just when you thought it couldn't get any more bizarre.

What's up doc!

GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan · 29/11/2012 08:10

PLEASE come back carrot cruncher and tell us about the girl on the deli counter who looks a bit like Claire Sweeney (only she has got gammy teeth bless her, but I didn't tell her) and the trolley man who resembles Alan Titchmarsh.

Rofl at Alan Titchmarsh. There is always a trolley guy who looks like himGrin

GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan · 29/11/2012 08:19

Lol at everlong's perm.

I had a perm as well. My gran made me have it when I was 10. Bloody hell I looked like Deirdre Barlow in her bubble perm councillor phase.

BegoniaBampot · 29/11/2012 08:38

My friend mortified me on holiday when we were very young by loudly asking the bunch of strangers we were with who I looked like. Princess Fucking Ann (no offense to the princess), she wouldn't stop going on about it, laughing like a hyena as I stood there like a lemon. As you can see I'm still traumatised to this very day.

"I felt like I got my shuffle out"-does this actually mean anything?Blush

Or is it a typo?
