To be childish enough to find this funny?

This is what happens when you're bored in the herbs & spices section of the supermarket. Not something I've done, but I'm very tempted!

Hi all. I posted on page 1 saying I was shopping today and that I would do this. Unfortunately, for various work-related reasons, I ended up going shopping v harassed 2 hours later than usual, and although before I left the house I tried and failed to find a camera, I forgot when I was in the shop, it only occurred to me when I was standing at the till.

SO, I did do the till triangle thing. I did it twice (before and after loading the shopping). And you'll never believe me, but the woman in front of me was grumpy vile and very aggressive, so I thought I was being v brave.

She glared at the wrong-way-round divider, but didn't do anything with it. (and, tbh, it only inconvenienced me, because I had to wait longer before I could start putting my shopping on).

I DID take a pic of it, but I do have a v low tech phone, from which I can not email, so I can't share the picture. However if any of you is deeply sad enough to PM me your mobile number, I'll attempt the send the pic via text for others to upload.

The other side of the shopping was MUCH more satisfying, although I didn't get to photograph it. Because what happened was I put it the wrong way around and 2 seconds later a member of staff walked past and she changed it back again.

I'm going to put "spices" on my shopping list so I can write a rude word next week!

Love them. The Asda candles are my favourite.

Very nice, *FattyNinjaOwl"!

Did they not have any Asafoetida, or Allspice? Tsk, Sainsbury's!

FattyNinjaOwl · 18/09/2015 15:13

Nope nothing. They need to get their act together! I really wanted to write anal sex Grin

pluck · 18/09/2015 16:23

Oh, come off it! Where were you going to get an X?

MrsMummyPig · 18/09/2015 16:30

I do my shopping online. Can't believe I'm missing so much fun!

FattyNinjaOwl · 18/09/2015 16:37

pluck darn it! I didn't think of that.

educatingarti · 18/09/2015 18:04

If you have those letters spelling "home" and "love" you can spell "hovel" which in many cases may be more appropriate!

PHANTOMnamechanger · 18/09/2015 18:13

for you Pluck and NinjaOwl

PHANTOMnamechanger · 18/09/2015 18:17

I had a dream about this thread last night Hmm
I was in tescos and heard a big smash, looking down the crockery aisle someone had knocked off a whole display of mugs on hanging hooks and was embarrassed and trying to help an assistant clear up, apologising profusely - then another shopper looked at me and muttered "I bet they were doing that Mumsnet thing" and we both giggled at each other and walked off.

And yes, I do need a real life!

Muskey · 18/09/2015 18:25

I managed to write a rude word today at rhs Wisley. I am so proud of myself and Mr Muskey as he helped. We wrote dick with lettered LED lights we got a few stern looks from posh ladies. I am going to do the shopping divider tomorrow

NationMcKinley · 18/09/2015 18:38

Oh well done Muskey and at WISLEY too! Grin

Civil disobedience, MN-style!

ErrolTheHamster · 18/09/2015 19:15

Here is my own offering from the days when the kids were still big into soft play. Anyone who's ever been to those places on a regular basis, will completely understand. In my defence, it was in the babies section, so they couldn't read it anyway.

pluck · 18/09/2015 19:24

OMFG, Errol, that is not civil disobedience! Shock Grin Thank goodness those babies can't read... though the same can't be said for the Reception children invading the baby spaces. That word could definitely be read by a 5/6 y.o.!

ErrolTheHamster · 18/09/2015 19:46

Nah, it wasn't an ishoo. I was in and out before anyone saw me! Grin

zombiemeow · 18/09/2015 19:57

That is ACE errol! Grin

pluck · 18/09/2015 20:40

In like Errol Flynn! Grin

Love your work, Elf.

This thread is ace. I am definitely going to start rearranging things. My ds already sets every calculator he finds in shops to 'BOOBIES' after I showed him how.
