Green skin man touched bread in supermarket

At the supermarket I saw a man with a greenish complexion in the bakery department. He also has a hospital patient band on. He touched some bread in one of the open bread baskets.

Should I have told someone? I didn't as I didn't think it was my business and would be rude but I would t want to eat that bread.

It wouldn't be Waitrose....

In truth it'd put me off if I saw anyone touch the bread (especially Viva 's bogey fingers man...bleurgh)

But everyone who buys uncovered bread like that pays their money and takes their chances.

I came here to post that it's not easy being green but I got beaten to it.
Must spend less time on mumsnet!

So, what sort of disposition did he have?

Did he appear quite cheery and generally pleased with life?
In which case I think you have spotted the Jolly Green Giant.

If, however he seemed somewhat distressed by matters, then I think you have, indeed, come across the Incredible Hulk.

I think the existance of a hospital wrist band on either would be quite appropriate.

If he was particularly small, he was probably a poisonous dwarf.

what ever you do dont make him angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry

Mouseyinmyhousey · 06/04/2013 19:30

This has really made me laugh on a bad day, thanks.

"what ever you do dont make him angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry"

Unless he really is the Jolly Green Giant, in which case it is a major melt down ...loads of tissues and emotional support.

OMW...I'm not trying to imply that the JGG is in any way anything other than what you would expect from a large green man.

TheOrchardKeeper · 06/04/2013 19:42

Maybe he was a hungry extra from some Zombie film/tv series. They're so common now that wherever you are in the uk, a zombie flick/tv show is being made within a 20 miles radius...

Beta Blockers can give you green skin.

Were you in Tesco by any chance?

Sparklesocks · 29/04/2018 18:15

Christ all the zombies are being resurrected today..

I'd be very intrigued to meet an alien on my next trawl around Tesco. It would spice things up a bit.

It isn't at all unusual to have to go to the supermarket when you aren't feeling 100%. I know I have over the years, as I still had young children to feed no matter what.

Hi, I’m sorry imagining he had some sort of liver disease. This causes jaundice. I had this a few years ago and was allowed out of hospital for a few hours each afternoon. Doubt that he’s contagious

SmileEachDay · 29/04/2018 18:33

Zombie —bread— thread.

Sorry.

CandleWithHair · 29/04/2018 18:36

@TheDoctrineOfSnatch I very rarely snort laugh but your crossword comment had me rolling 😂😂

CandleWithHair · 29/04/2018 18:36

Oh fuck, it’s a zombie. I guess that’s why he had green skin then....

WaitrosePigeon · 29/04/2018 18:38

The hulk - I’m done

Topseyt · 29/04/2018 18:42

So what if it is a "zombie" thread. It is still amusing to read.

I enjoyed it.

formerbabe · 29/04/2018 18:45

I don't think it's funny...poor man could be seriously ill..

SmileEachDay · 29/04/2018 18:49

formerbabe

One way or another, he probably isn’t any more.

Smellyjo · 29/04/2018 18:54

Hahhaahaaa - not the mans illness that's funny but a hilarious topic for a thread! Especially as I'm not sure OP was trying to be funny?!!

foxyloxy78 · 29/04/2018 18:55

You should have told someone. That's gross.

Littlebelina · 29/04/2018 19:00

I had a reply all ready then realised it was a ZOMBIE thread, darnit
