To think my friend is going to hell

[capabilityfrowns]

My friend has his own shop where everything is hand made , he makes his own products and stocks hand made products for others as a collective,

He's just text me in a panic , a little old lady came in and bought these .....

He's now worrying in case it's the grandsons xmas present

I think xmas day could be interesting in one house in the north of England 😂🙈

What because little old ladies all have lost their marbles? What ageist nonsense.

Well someone will have a chuckle and hopefully granny will see the funny side!

that's made me laugh, did he manage to keep a straight face selling them to her 🤣

She's maybe a 'little old lady' with a sense of humour? Either way there will be some laughs somewhere.....

My granny is in her eighties and would think that was a hilarious gift for my DH.

When I was three my 70-something Yiddish granny presented me with a Playboy bunny necklace for my birthday. I imagine the jeweller had a chuckle selling it to her!

AIBU to say I kind of hope it happens........😱🫣

It made me laugh. Which I needed.

He doesn't think she read them

He's now wracked with guilt thinking he should have explained the joke .....

My Mum bought a headscarf when she had cancer, proudly wore it all round town until she saw my sister who said, Mum, do know that the print is canabis leaf? My Mum found this hilarious, had no idea but it didn't stop her wearing it. She was a lovely mischievous woman.

He thinks he's going to wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night

Perhaps the ‘little old lady’ bought this for her lover?

she was an archetypal little old lady , why the snottiness? I talking about a woman in her 80 s not a woman in her 50s ! A stereotypical "granny. "You know like that bloke puts a wig on and pretends to be in mrs browns boys when it's apparently funny

She might be into rimming yes. In fact I'm sure that must be why she bought them .

My mistake .

My husband (79) and I (74) often laugh about what young people would think if they could hear our conversations when we are at home alone. You have to remember that "little old lady" was probably a teenager in the sixties. It's unlikely she's as innocent and naive as she looks

Sounds like something my grandma would do. I'll let you know if they turn up at Xmas

My friend feels guilty because he feels like he should have explained the joke which suggested she didn't get it .

That's the sort of thing DPs grandmother would have bought him. She presented as a stereotypical 'little old lady' but for some reason they had an in joke where every card she sent him was absolutely filthy. It was hilarious.

My "little old lady" Mum (also a granny) bought a rubber stamp that read "bullshit" so she could amuse herself by stamping it on nonsense paperwork.

Patronising attitude.

If your little old lady is in her 80's or even 90's, I'm sure she understand the joke.

My FIL bought bought himself a Christmas jumper to wear. He didn't even notice that the reindeer pattern was actually of shagging reindeer! He'd even worn it to an old peoples lunch thing the day before 😂

If it's the grandson's Christmas present then it will generate some hilarious future Christmas memories! Perhaps it will even start a trend and the poor boy will be bought Uranus presents every year for the rest of his life!

She could have well understood the joke

I used to manage two sheltered housing developments.
A couple of the "little old ladies" came to my office to ask if they could host an Anne Summers party in the communal lounge.
I said, fine, no problem.
One says to the other - "do you think many people will come?"
The other replies (without batting an eyelid) "Well thats the point hen!"
They were 80 and 82.

Also had one who came to tell me her ceiling extractor was on the fritz and making a terrible clatter. I went round with my step ladder, and while I was there discovered a vibrator buzzing away in a shoe box on top of a kitchen cabinet.
OH! Says tenant, my boyfriend must've put that up there when he tidied the kitchen earlier, ha ha ha.
Mid 70s, and the "boyfriend" was nearly 80.

I dont think your friend should worry, she 95% knew exactly what she was doing.
