Getting annoyed at my carelessness

24 replies

neverknowinglyunreasonable · 11/02/2017 07:57

I know it's only minor but I spent ages writing my shopping list on paper (I am old school). I was walking to the supermarket when I noticed my shoe lace was undone. I tucked my shopping list into a nearby wall while I did it up but then forgot about it and walked away.

Especially annoying as I spent ages writing the list in code because my shopping list is basically just crisps, chocolate and ice cream and I am embarrassed if other people read it. I even had two special 2p coins wrapped in the list to use for the trolley.

I know it's my fault for bring careless but am I being unreasonable for getting annoyed?

Yabu for making it in code.

At least now the mystery is solved. Grin

Tee hee! Which of the squiggles means "naice ham"?

Where do trolleys cost 2p? Most of them round here expect £1 (misses point completely)

BlahBlahBlahEtc · 11/02/2017 11:04

2ps in a trolley? Where do you live? 1970?

Seriously though, I do shit like this constantly, if I didn't have a toddler to do it for me I'd drive myself round the bend

That note is very disturbing.

What year are you living in? 2 x 2p for the trolley? It costs a quid everywhere I go nowadays. As for the list OP,unless it had your name on it,I wouldn't worry. Who's going to know it's yours?

JennyOnAPlate · 11/02/2017 17:57

Well that's that mystery solved!

hollyisalovelyname · 11/02/2017 17:59

Yeah right 🙄

Ha ha I've just twigged!

Where did you buy the unusual red margined paper, op?

brooklyn66 · 12/02/2017 20:24

haha only just seen this! Grin

You're correct, I did write on red margined paper. Think it came from the WH Smiths in town.

Bit annoying as I have had to write a new list. The old code wasn't even that complicated, if anyone had found it they would have cracked it within five minutes.
