To leave my trolley and run out of the supermarket (warning: disgusting)

[Booboostoo]

This thread is super disgusting, you have been warned.

This morning I was in the supermarket, heading towards the potatoes. A man was standing by the potatoes facing me and the lettuces (oh yes this is relevant, I wish it wasn't but it is).

As I was approaching he did an odd snort/sneeze kind of thing and a big trail of snot shot out of his nose and hung over his mouth and chin. So far so disgusting, but I suppose this could have happened to anyone.

He then cleaned his nose using his hand, no hankie, and threw the snot on the floor and partly on the lettuces. Repeat three times. I kid you not and I am not exaggerating. It was one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen. I came close to shrieking, but managed to back off and run to the tills, looking behind me all the time to make sure he was not anywhere near me.

My dsis worked in a supermarket and she said they were doing away with the salad pick and mix. I asked why and she said, 'Hygiene reasons'. It put me off for life. I'd never thought about it before but apparently people use the spoons to taste stuff and generally behave like the man in the OP.

It's rank.

This is not as gross, more funny/gross. DH is a lot taller than me. He was sitting next to me eating carbonara when he did a massive sneeze. He did put his hand in front of his mouth but somehow all the carbonara escaped and landed on my head. But at least that was my DH and it wasn't snot!

Truly gross. I live in France at the moment as well (please tell me snot incident was not central France) and find Lidl to be the best supermarket - although I do go to Auchan for houmous (don't think I've ever sounded quite so middle class!)

Pretty grim but nothing like as bad as I was expecting. When you started talking about a man facing you and the lettuces I thought you were going to say he was wanking into them. No idea why my mind is so far down the gutter this afternoon!

What south west, you are safe!

manic I've seen people urinating and defecating at the side of the road, my neighbour peeing in his garden, and the same neighbour naked in his garden but I haven't seen anyone masturbating in public in France yet. Masturbating over the supermarket lettuce would have been MN gold - I can only dream!

In a restaurant in Boulogne a few years ago a stray dog walked in (it was hot so doors are open) and the waitress fussed it as she walked past and gave it a French fry from a plate of food she was carrying to a diner whilst fondling its muzzle.

I was in sainsburys cafe once and saw a man cleaning underneath his fingernails with the prongs of a fork

At work a few years ago, looked up to serve a customer.
She was wearing a veil (hijab ?) and blowing her nose on it. The entire thing was caked with dried snot.

use a hanky, mucky you

I watched a bloke in the pub blow his nose hard into his hand, wipe it on the seat next to him, then leave. Some poor person sat there a few minutes later. Dirty bastard.

Yep disgusting indeed, but as far as the most disgusting thing youve ever seen?....well all I can say is you havent thankfully met my DH!

Bleugh I feel sick - also my sick face.

Same posh supermarket as pokey bread man...

It used to have those machines that look like a big coffee grinder, but these were to put peanuts in to to grind into peanut butter.

You turned the little nozzel on the tap at the bottom and squirrel poo came out into your waiting pot. Or your manky child's mouth, who then licks the nozzel. Did mummee tell off little Horatio for being a mucky pup? She did not...
