To be mortified by what DH said in Tesco

Dh was unloading the trolley and discovered two packs of san pro in there, he shouted across to me " why are you buying these, you're 62 you had the menopause yonks ago" then he said "OMG you can't still get pregnant can you?" and looked horrified, the poor young lad on the till went bright red and the couple behind DH looked burst out laughing , I managed to splutter "they're not for me they're to put in the food bank box with other stuff" the fact that he had blurted out my age, and the fact that I have been through the menopause and the fact that we still have 'marital relations' in a crowded store went right over his head and he now wonders why I am not talking to him - I cant go back into Tesco now can I?

Next time you are both in the queue, think of a suitable way to embarrass him back. Also, well done for buying things for the food bank Smile

Betsy86 · 02/01/2018 22:03

Should of shouted back... Oh im on a promise tonight am i your viagra delivery arrived i take it!

Betsy86 · 02/01/2018 22:06

Or say loudly oooh im on a promise where are the extra small condoms located in this store darling

Loyaultemelie · 02/01/2018 22:06

I'm guessing his chances of still having 'marital relations' are pretty much zero now? Grin

londonrach · 02/01/2018 22:08

Op...you have sooo much fun next time at tesco...loving the small condom comment! Yanbu by the way.

YouCantArgueWithStupid · 02/01/2018 22:08

I would've shouted "Yeah! And don't forget the extra small condoms in the trolley for you!" Grin

YouCantArgueWithStupid · 02/01/2018 22:08

@Betsy86 beat me to it 👍🏼

Come on vipers, you must be able to suggest brilliant things OP could have fired back.

GreenTulips · 02/01/2018 22:11

shout 'what have you got these for? You KNOW you haven't been able to get it up in years!'

Best comment so far ....

JustVent · 02/01/2018 22:11

Arsehole.

Wdigin2this · 02/01/2018 22:13

Men, are just so sodding stupid some times!! That's all!

mineofuselessinformation · 02/01/2018 22:16

The obvious response to DH in my mind would be 'FGS, DH, if you don't know the answer to that by now, I can't help you'.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 02/01/2018 22:17

😂😂

This is so funny - you have to go back to try out some of these one liners!

LolitaLempicka · 02/01/2018 22:19

That's quite an age gap! A woman in her 60s and a young teenage boy? Wow.

Pearlsaringer · 02/01/2018 22:20

The answer should have been “Obviously not with you!”

Eltonjohnssyrup · 02/01/2018 22:21

That's epic. Please give him a medal for brightening up my night.

MissEliza · 02/01/2018 22:24

Is his name Phillip? Grin

AcrossthePond55 · 02/01/2018 22:24

I'd have been mortified. My DH is prone speaking before he thinks. His 'best' was always asking women who were 'carrying a little extra weight' if they were pregnant. It was always 'kindly' meant as in he wanted to congratulate her if she was but I kept telling him that you just don't DO that. I've finally got him broken of the habit.

runwalkrun · 02/01/2018 22:26

I don't find that funny.
He sounds like a prick.

Battleax · 02/01/2018 22:27

Which thread are you reading? Grin

Battleax · 02/01/2018 22:28

I'm coming to the conclusion that men are fundamentally semi-feral and untrainable OP Wink

Oldsu · 02/01/2018 22:29

Well I finally had to speak to him, he has just had everything out of the cupboards looking for the bar of mega expensive dark chocolate (his weekly treat) which should have been in the shopping and is nowhere to be found find it I told the truth that I was so flustered and embarrassed by his stupid remarks I think I 'accidently' (ooopps) dropped it in the food bank box with the rest of the stuff - sorry dear

Next time put some condoms in, without him seeing.

At the checkout say (very loudly) “who are these for darling? You know you can’t use them now your old and impotent”

That’ll teach him Xmas Grin

PerspicaciaTick · 02/01/2018 22:33

Oldsu - sound like an exquisitely subtle revenge Grin
