I’ve put on three stone. It can’t be because I was unintentionally eating biscuits?!

I appear to have put on three stone. But it can’t be anything to do with my actions because I only unintentionally ate the biscuits and therefore it doesn’t matter.

Anyone else done anything unintentionally??

So, we have a person who does things 'unintentionally' (so that's ok)
is 'quietly kind' (ha!) and who drops their g's?
I'm thinkin, thinkin really hard ... but nope no one's comin to mind Grin

I may pop out for a spot of unintentional shoplifting later, to replace my unintentionally scoffed chocolates.

I am very sorry if my behaviour will upset Tesco, of course. I will just explain that guidelines are just that. It will be fine.

It's actually not your fault and not your responsibility to stop eating biscuits. You are the victim here and it's the fault of the greedy biscuit corporations for selling biscuits and the fault of the Government who probably have some mates in the biscuit sector that give them free bourbons on the side and also rich people - anyone heard of Rich Tea biscuits. There is definitely a conspiracy going on here on biscuits and it's ordinary people like you and I that suffers.

Reaches for the choccy hobnobs.

Mince pies seem to be in season now. Does that make them healthy?

I am going to be making creme pat at the weekend. It will have to be tasted regularly to make sure I get it just right. Tasting isnt eating is it?

If Tesco gets upset, we'll form a protective square around you, RainingBatsAndFrogster

It’s that question of waste or waist again and I hate waste. I am at least unintentionally 4 stone overweight.

Also if nobody saw you eat the biscuits, it’s zero calories. So nobody saw you, AND you didn’t even mean to eat them- you were basically exercising op

I like the idea that a box of broken biscuits is calorie free - I guess the calories are all in the crumbs at the bottom.

I unintentionally bought a load of shit goodies from Tesco via Papa's Taxis earlier on despite being good with my diet for a few days Grin

@2020iscancelled

I’m about to unintentionally do some online shopping.

It’s not my fault that I have discount codes in my inbox - I can’t be blamed if they send me pictures of things I might like

It’s not my fault that I need new clothes to wear on my body.

I do believe that if you unintentionally buy something it should also be free. It's not my fault I want stuff! Smile

I unintentionally slept with High Jackman. (I wish!) I’m sorry if anyone was hurt by this.

Great thread OP.

I have unintentionally missed word deadlines on occasion. :(
And foolishly thought that this was just as bad as intentionally missing them.

Previously, I've reached for the Cummings defence and the need to check my eyesight with a few outings. (Afterall, the deadline dates are in very small print).

In future, I'm going directly to the very top for support in order to keep my job!

1WildTeaParty · 20/11/2020 15:06

work deadlines!

longwigglylines · 20/11/2020 15:06

I think if you also say you're sorry you ate biscuits that will mean they definitely don't count.

You don’t even need to say that. It’s enough to be sorry if others were upset by your possibly unintentional biscuit eatin’.

@Felifox

Not sure if you need to know these were £1 each at Tesco this morning

That's good to know, given that I must now have eaten most of Morrison's stock. Nationally.

Daydreamsinglorioustechnicolor · 20/11/2020 15:20

Can someone please clue me in!

You could say the theme is sittin’ priti after possibly unintentional transgressions.
MoonJelly · 20/11/2020 15:25

Well, I'm sure that if I were to put a load of overpriced billion pound contracts the way of my mates with no track record in whatever the contracts are for, it wouldn't matter because it would be purely unintentional. So eating biscuits unintentionally definitely doesn't count.

BigBlueBow · 20/11/2020 15:34

Biscuits are pretty negligle calories anyway. Especially if it was unintentional. Or if someone else brings the biscuits. Or you just have one or two with a cup of tea.

If your body doesnt know your going to eat them, how can it know to digest them? Its science 101

ListeningQuietly · 20/11/2020 15:34

I have unintentionally been sittin and postin on MN
instead of doin my work
but I'm sure somebody honourable will take the blame for my failin

KiposWonderbeasts · 20/11/2020 15:40

I unintentionally spent all my money on the Hotel Chocolat offers, but the bank shouldn't expect me to repay the overdraft because it wasn't intentional.

I don’t buy biscuits for this reason.

However, bought biscuits for workmen replacing part of my roof this week. They’ve finished now. They didn’t touch the biscuits. Bugger.
