To think blue carrier bags look "naff"

[BigRedBall]

Can't think of a better word..
Theyre a bit hard to avoid when you're going to the market or local shop, and I really hate carrying them. I never reuse blue carrier bags for anything apart from a bin liner.

When I see someone carrying a blue carrier bag down the road I feel bleugh...I just have this irrational dislike for blue carrier bags. after the blue ones I hate the stripy white and blue or white and red ones. They're flimsy and ugly.

They're carrier bags. Stop being such a snob and find something productive to occupy your time.

I knew you were going to bring up stripeys. I quite like the stripey ones.

Well go and get yourself some pretty waitrose ones then!

Wow.

Okay . That's nice.

As you say yourself OP - irrational.

How ridiculous.

I like blue ones, usually means they've bought something local and independent, and that's grand in my books.

I live down the road from a waitrose but always drive further away to tesco or Lidl for a shop. Waitrose bags are flimsy too.

I don't recall ever seeing any blue carrier bags, but if I did, I can't imagine thinking they are any more or less 'naff' than any other colours. To be frank, carrier bags of any kind are not something I think about or have an opinion on, at all, and certainly not to the extent of starting a thread about blue ones. That's odd IMO.

All shades of blue? Nice way to generalise.

This is a blue carrier bag (for those who've never seen one )

Just because I hate blue bags it doesn't mean I hate all shades of blue.

How very Blue-ist of you.

You really started a thread about this?

clearly nothing organic will every be carried in that blue bag or a stripey one for that matter. It's like a chav-tag bag alert in ones hand - reeks corner store.

clearly I am taking the piss

Yes I started a thread about this. Is there a law against me starting a thread about my hatred for blue carrier bags?
I know. Why don't we just all sit in silence and watch blank screens because apparently we're not allowed to start threads about things that matter to us anymore.

Thank goodness for that, OP. I was utterly, utterly lost on this thread until you posted that picture. So, by 'blue carrier bag' you meant a carrier bag that is blue? No wonder I was confused!

Ha, know what you mean op.

I can't wrap my head around why I dislike them; I just do. Definitely irrational, but nonetheless you aren't alone.

multivac I quite agree. I hate cryptic OPs. Both my brain cells were really hurting until that photo was posted.

Round here they carry their carry out in it to drink in the park.....

I always wonder why the default colour for generic carrier bags is blue. Why is this so? And why are dusters always yellow with red stitching?

When I was with my XP a blue bag on the kitchen table when I got in was usually a sign that he'd bought a four-pack of Red Stripe from the corner shop on the way home and was probably sitting on his arse watching Netflix, and I'd have a drunken argument on my hands.

Good times.

Here too olddear

Where I used to live people would get given their organic veg from the local farmer's market from the person on the stall
