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).

Stay on the darkside average

Stop it tiggy Hmm

You know dadsnet has no...."aaggghhh the sky is falling 'cos someone had a fruit shoot" threads

TiggyD · 25/09/2016 22:11

Dadsnet is the most happening area of Mumsnet. Somebody posted there only a few days ago. Lots of good Nikola Tesla facts. And you don't need kids any more than you need them to be on Mumsnet.

PacificDogwod · 25/09/2016 22:11

We could all go and do an en masse Dadsnet Invasion?

Disclaimer: I am rather full of Dutch courage just now

PacificDogwod · 25/09/2016 22:12

Kids are overrated

Like a panty raid

TiggyD · 25/09/2016 22:13

And they never buy a round.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 25/09/2016 22:14

Ds2 keeps offering

Which i think is awfully sweet

(And slightly worrying)

HoneyDragon · 25/09/2016 22:14

I've just remembered my secret stash of Powerful Prawns in the futility room and ammsnack happy. I may also have posted about this twice.

PacificDogwod · 25/09/2016 22:15

Eww, no, they can keep their BawBags!

My mum saw a woman open a pack of butter on the shelf, peel back the paper and stuck her finger in, tried it and said "oh I don't like that one" put the lid back on and walked off 😌 my mum told the assistant straight away!

What the fuck is a bawbag???

I am much too scared to google Confused

Is it like boxer shorts?

PacificDogwod · 25/09/2016 22:18

I provided you with a helpful link, woman!
What more do you want?!
They may, or may not, be DH's undercrackers of choice Grin

TiggyD · 25/09/2016 22:19

It's a tasteful underpanters.

People eating food they haven't paid for....
AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 25/09/2016 22:19

Mumsnet has plenty of people who aren't parents, Dadsnet doesn't appear to.

Grin If you're so full of Dutch courage start a fiery AIBU we can post on when this thread fills up!

Are you insane?? I am not looking at one of your links

tiggy

Thank you!

(I think)

TiggyD · 25/09/2016 22:25

AIBU in wondering if a transgendered cyclist should be able to park their bike in a disabled parking space after Brexit?

PacificDogwod · 25/09/2016 22:25

I myself have never ever posted a linkie that was not what it purported to be, I have you know!

No, I'm not starting an AIBU thread - too done in from doing very little today.

AIBU to go to bed?
I know I'm not Grin

PacificDogwod · 25/09/2016 22:26

Tiggy, you might just get some milage on that one - well done!

You should include some mention of PIP/benefits in it too though.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 25/09/2016 22:28

What does bawbags even purport to be ??

I thought it was like low hanging love sacks...you've no idea how distressed i was when i found out what they were Shock

hazeyjane · 25/09/2016 22:28

Aaaggh I clicked on the photo. Dh now thinks he is getting some lurid pants for Christmas. For some unknown reason we are listening to the Spice Girls here, dh broke into Wannabe to the dds earlier and they looked scared and upset.

TiggyD · 25/09/2016 22:28

Assuming the transcyclist is on benefits of course. Thought that went without saying.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 25/09/2016 22:28

Yeah go for it tiggy

I double dare you...no returns , cross keys

SoozeyHoozey · 25/09/2016 22:31

I do find it odd and a bit uncouth.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 25/09/2016 22:32

I know what bawbags are now of course

TiggyD · 25/09/2016 22:36

Grown ups eating as they go round is very different to children getting something to shut them up. They get to sit in that cool little seat in the trolley and have to look at all that food with none to eat. it's still uncouth though.
