I was bagpacking for DD's club at a supermarket on Sunday and a youngish chap went through the checkout with one loaf of bread and one bottle of whisky, nothing else.

WIBU to quietly hum 'The bare necessities' for the rest of the afternoon Wink

MrsLT, you are very intense today.
It's a crap joke but we are 'aving a larf anyway.
Go and have a cuppa tea and ignore us.

MrsLouisTheroux · 15/08/2013 09:21

Boffin INTENSE? ME ? Grin

Tee2072 · 15/08/2013 09:22

So MrsLT you share every random thought you have about a stranger with that stranger?

Fuck you do.

Perhaps you could use a loaf and a drink?

Tee Come again?

OP, having a wry chuckle at the contents of another person's trolley is clearly A BAD THING and you are A BAD PERSON. I hope you've learnt your lesson. Smile

ChimeForChange · 15/08/2013 09:42

How is it snide at all?!?!

Funny how MrsLouis judged him straight away - "he could be down on his luck" etc ... the OP didn't insinuate anything like that or seem to be looking her nose down. Look at the other stories shared - it's obviously a cheery look at shopping combos.

She said she hummed the song for the rest of the day - not exactly in his face taking the piss is it

Tee2072 · 15/08/2013 09:48

Did I stutter? You said it wasn't funny because she didn't share it with the person she was amused by.

Do you see a stranger on the street and run after them to tell them exactly what you are thinking about them?

Actually...you probably do.

Vivacia · 15/08/2013 09:55

Ahhh, I get it! She didn't start humming it in front of him?

YABU for bag packing. The only time I've encountered this was when I nipped out to Sainsbury's from a hospital, it was only when I got back to the ward that I realised half my shopping was missing. I'm guessing that the bag packer had placed a bag on the floor, I just took all the visible bags and left. If I hadn't had "help" I wouldn't have lost £10 of shopping and gone without dinner.

SoupDragon · 15/08/2013 10:01

Clearly some people got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Bread + booze = bare necessities. Not difficult and not sneering.

It is possible to be amused without sneering or judging - perhaps some people should try it.

HoneyDragon · 15/08/2013 10:03

OMFG

Some people will never be happy until everyone lives in a small box filled with their own mucus, never speaks and perfom self flagellation daily.

QOD · 15/08/2013 10:13

Would it have to be our own mucus? I don't produce much

AWimbaWay · 15/08/2013 10:19

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear

For some reason I love that line. I might namechange from AWimbaWay to PickAPawpaw.

AWimbaWay · 15/08/2013 10:21

I have enough mucus for all atm QOD, feel free to borow some for your box. Allergies Angry.

AWimbaWay · 15/08/2013 10:22

MrsLouisTheroux · 15/08/2013 10:50

Oh! It's like one big party Grin

OMFG Grin

karatekimmi · 15/08/2013 12:25

Just to interrupt the party but I saw an old lady probably 70's with 2 cream cakes and an eight pack of strongbow!! I wishe I could swop days with her Grin

charleyturtle · 15/08/2013 14:44

littlewhitebag I just walked in and bought it. I guess it can't be a rule here, didn't realise it was anywhere. although it does make sense.

I was just picking up the fags for dp and myself as we were going to a party straight from work, wine was for the host. But I didn't want to tell the cashier that and undermine his joke. (because it was hilarious)

MrsLouisTheroux · 16/08/2013 07:23

Tee No stutter but you no n sense first time round. Thanks for having another go.
