Mortified by DH’s behaviour in Asda

Went to Asda yesterday afternoon - ours has a pharmacist in there and DH needed some Laxido so we went across. The woman serving said they didn’t have laxido but they did have movicol which is the same thing with a different name. DH asked her if the ingredients is exactly the same as he has to be very careful with what he takes (true) so she went off to check with the pharmacist. Whilst she was gone DH was looking around him all anxiously and then as she reemerged she walked over to him smiling - he promptly sticks two fingers up at her and then runs off!!! Leaving me stood there like an absolute clown. I was mortified, apologised profoundly to her and walked away. Later caught up with DH who had simply gone back to shopping in Asda as if nothing had happened. His excuse was that he was scared to take something different but was feeling pressured and didn’t know what to do so legged it. I asked why on earth he swore at her and he said he “just panicked”. I’m still furious, my mum thinks I’m over-reacting a bit but DH can do no wrong in her eyes. Am I over-reacting??!

That's mortifying.. i thought I had social anxiety.. but I'd probably just buy it anyway and not use it 🙈

JustPinkFinch · 09/08/2025 19:07

Let's hope that shit he's packing tears him in half on the way out 💐

I’m guessing he does not have a job! Do you?

Edited

According to the OP’s other thread, yes he does and she doesn’t. In that thread, the OP suffers from anxiety due to autism, no mention of her husband struggling with anything.

No not really. I'm autistic, and I have an infantile sense of humour. If that qualifies as "not right" then meh, whatever.

Yet he's still without the medication he needed.
Ohhh what a joker eh?!

Plenty of other shops around, it's hardly the end of the world.

Are you joking?

No. I'm entirely serious. The world would be a far better place if more people acted the clown more readily rather than walking around with massive sticks up their arses all day, every day.

Hmm speaking to a pharmacist about a medical condition, exactly the time to act a fool...

There's never a bad time, and all scenario can be funny/comedic.

You're wrong there.

There's never a good time or place to be a dick.

How awful. Who knows what kind of day that pharmacist was having then some pig wastes her time and swears at her

I don't think it was the pharmacist but the woman that was serving.

crumblingschools · 09/08/2025 19:41

@FancyOliveHiker does that make it okay, as it wasn’t someone in a qualified profession

MyDadWasAnArse · 09/08/2025 19:59

Sounds like he's flipped his lid.

She said he stuck two fingers up at the member of staff serving him. That gesture means 'fuck off'.

Lol
im sure it doesn’t!
Never heard that before!

The world needs far more individuals like your DH. Far too many people taking themselves far too seriously. Good on him.

I agree 😆 we need more eccentrics!

EllyRoff · 09/08/2025 20:43

I’ve tried to read the full thread but it’s too derailed with one poster who has basically taken over it 🙄

DH is 50

He definitely farts loudly in public then runs off and laughs

What an absolute lunatic.

Skybluepinky · 09/08/2025 21:31

Run for the hills!

PepsiMaxCherryAddict · 09/08/2025 21:41

That mental image of him sticking his fingers up to her and bolting has had me hysterical laughing 😂😂😂😂 what an absolute fucking moron. Embarrassing.

dontcryformeargentina · 09/08/2025 21:45

He isn't eccentric. He is immature and disrespectful. It will only get worse. Good luck.

erm.... what on earth are you on about? Of course that is what it means!
are you just being deliberately obtuse?

I can’t believe anyone can get to adult life and not know the meaning. I think that poster is looking for a reaction here. My children knew it was wrong from a young age (kids hear about it in the playground, on tv, internet etc).

There is no possible way they got to adult life and didn’t know the meaning 🙈

GypsyQueeen · 09/08/2025 22:26

And this is why I no longer go to Asda.....if it's not women wearing pjs, it's these crazy mofos. You just don't get this in Waitrose 🤷‍♀️

cha04 · 09/08/2025 22:47

Erm is your husband 11? What the actual F! That’s a huge ick I could not ever unsee. Imagine sleeping with an oddball like that. Get yourself out, this is extremely odd.

What a fucking weird thing to say to that post. I can only assume you’re the husband?

The absolute stomach turning ick that this would give me. I don’t think I could come back from it 😬

Same!!
