Just been out to a small shop to pick up some food. They deliver, but I don't want to take a slot of someone vulnerable.

I had bubbly at lunch time, because it’s my birthday!

Oh...that might explain the posting too soon and dropping of parentheses...

🥂🍰🤪

LondonJax · 22/05/2020 15:25

If we are all stupid, then given your actions here, what does that make you? A moron?

@Moondust001 I wish you'd warn us before you posted that. I'd just taken a mouthful of coffee .... which is all down my T-shirt now!

LemonadeAndDaisyChains · 22/05/2020 15:25

Que?

CoronaMoaner · 22/05/2020 15:27

@JaneJeffer I got it delivered. Not sure if that makes me one of the stupid ones or not according to the OP.

ClassicCola · 22/05/2020 15:27

Are you in Cornwall, OP?

CoronaMoaner · 22/05/2020 15:27

@Ninkanink happy birthday!

MichaelMumsnet · 22/05/2020 15:28

Thanks for the reports. This one started badly - that's quite a title OP - and then went downhill from there. We'll be taking it down in a mo.

MichaelMumsnet · 22/05/2020 15:29

Happy birthday @Ninkanink
Glad you found the parenthesis.

JaneJeffer · 22/05/2020 15:29

It's ok Ninkanink. The thickos on here don't know what parentheses are anyway. Happy Birthday stupid.

MashedPotatoBrainz · 22/05/2020 15:30

You call us stupid but we're not the ones out shopping for what could have been delivered, arguing with complete strangers in a shop.

Maduixa · 22/05/2020 15:30

It's really easy to amuse yourself and your DC outside, in this lovely weather. Stay out of shops and towns in your droves!!!!!

But if they, like you, wanted food then they, like you, would have had to go into a shop? Unless they are going to hunt squirrels or something.

Where I am (Not The UK) cafes and restaurants just reopened for table service. But you still have to keep 2m distance and wear your mask until seated. Halo And if you don't social distance properly, officious people will tell you to in no uncertain terms. (Officious people who work there, I mean, not officious members of the public.)

JaneJeffer · 22/05/2020 15:30

Don't delete @MichaelMumsnet!

Quirrelsotherface · 22/05/2020 15:30

Stupid is as stupid does..

MuthaClucker · 22/05/2020 15:32

It’s okay if the thread goes, the Spreadsheet has been updated Grin

JackiFazaki · 22/05/2020 15:32

Stay Alert OP.
Stay Alert.

Happy birthday @Ninkanink.

Weallhavevalidopinions · 22/05/2020 15:34

Thanks for the apology for calling many of us stupid.

YABU - although the vote box is missing - how do you really know how many of us are stupid/how do you measure stupid? Academically? Common sense?

MrsFogi · 22/05/2020 15:35

Well OP stupidity is a relative term. We are all more or less stupid in comparison to others and the subject matter in question. You clearly consider yourself a master of shopping etiquette but are perhaps more stupid than others in other domains of life.

MichaelMumsnet · 22/05/2020 15:37

Any more birthday wishes for ninkanink before this one goes?

Disquieted1 · 22/05/2020 15:38

All the fun threads get taken down.

AnneKipanki · 22/05/2020 15:39

I would get this thread deleted in case it is identifying .

NietzschePeachPearPlum · 22/05/2020 15:40

Oh I get it... so you think all the stupid people in the shops are mumsnetters? That’s why you’re saying we’re stupid?

Or something Confused

AnneKipanki · 22/05/2020 15:40

Ha , did not read full thread ...dum di dum
