People eating food they haven't paid for....

....It just really bugs me. To the point of utter revulsion.
In a supermarket, grown adults opening a pack of 4 pork pies and happily munching their way around the shop, only to toss the empty pack to be scanned as their shopping goes through. Why do people do that, have you ever, and why??? (DD had to wait until the car for her gingerbreadman biscuit from Waitrose).

I figure that eating and walking is multi tasking

HoneyDragon · 25/09/2016 20:09

I take a sandwich into the bath with me sometimes and pay the bills on my phone

I hardly meet any of those criteria, HD Sad

Except for the walking+eating and swearing

HoneyDragon · 25/09/2016 20:11

And we make the kids eat biscuits on the way back from swimming at school as an energy boost.

Rufus, as DS3(8) would point out that is walking+eating + breathing so most certainly multitasking!!

HoneyDragon · 25/09/2016 20:11

That could be my first ever tattoo: chavskillz

HoneyDragon · 25/09/2016 20:13

And word on the street is that Usual can make a Pot Noodle, cup of tea AND make a phone call at the same time.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 25/09/2016 20:14

honeydragon

I think you should trademark that

HoneyDragon · 25/09/2016 20:14

Well you've a while till you're thirty darling. Then all piercings become 'desperate'.

Done

CurlyhairedAssassin · 25/09/2016 20:14

It's all become a bit overdone and ridiculous now, this thread. Fake chav competitiveness has been done loads before.

No-one is really adding anything new, so I'm going to stop reading and let the thread go round in circles. I predict another 5 pages at least of fake outrage descending into nasty personal comments before the thread goes "poof".

hazeyjane · 25/09/2016 20:15

I once served pot noodles to friends who came over for dinner. I did add extra peas though, because I wanted to provide some vitamins.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 25/09/2016 20:16

Aaaah but which three average

Sorry honey i think you have taken it too far now....i don't believe thats possible

HoneyDragon · 25/09/2016 20:16

They did all the nasty comments further up.

And it's not fake. It's ridiculous the things some folk think are 'common'.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 25/09/2016 20:16

honey

Oooh nice

GrassIsJewelled · 25/09/2016 20:16

I do this. I have no problem with other people doing this. Who cares?!

thegosling · 25/09/2016 20:18

I care, I think it's really bad manners.

MaidOfStars · 25/09/2016 20:18

My local Tesco has a basket of fruit at the entrance, with a sign offering it to children if they are hungry on the way round the shop. Of course, all slightly battered apples and bananas but still an excellent idea, I think.

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 25/09/2016 20:19

Eats and walks ✔️

Owns branded clothing items✔️ (Only like TWO)

Peppers excellent vocubulary with swears✔️

gonetoseeamanaboutadog · 25/09/2016 20:19

Yes maid. I expect this is morally reprehensible but my DD stuffs her pockets with grapes from there.

PacificDogwod · 25/09/2016 20:20

Peas? Peas??
I hope they were at least Bird's Eyes Petit Fois!

Yeah well, usual is well chav, that's a well known trufact, natch!!

PacificDogwod · 25/09/2016 20:21

How do you all do the 'ticks'??
I want to do ticks! Envy
