She stole my sherry trifle!

[GoldAndSilverBells]

In a certain big supermarket this morning, I was getting a few last minute things, and I grabbed a sherry trifle. The last one! As I popped it into the trolley, a woman next to me sighed and huffed and puffed, and asked a shop assistant near me if they had any more. He said 'no, sorry.' The woman asked if any more were coming in tomorrow. He said 'I don't think we'll be having any more now til after Boxing day.' The woman scowled at me. I thought 'bloody hell it's not my fault I got the last one.'

I walked around the store and got some more things I needed, with the trifle placed at the bottom of the trolley where nothing could crush it, and the bloody woman seemed to be 10 feet behind me for the next 10 minutes I was in the store.

The last item I wanted was a loaf of bread. I reached up to check the dates, and popped the bread into the trolley. I started making my way back to the checkout, and noticed the trifle was gone! The woman in question was practically jogging to the self checkout! I followed quickly, and sure enough, she had my fecking sherry trifle! I said 'are you kidding me?! You've taken my bloody trifle!' She said 'no I didn't! I found this mixed in with the cheeses, it's mine.'

I knew she was lying, as there was no more left after I took mine, and now she has one and mine is gone! She definitely took my sherry trifle! I told a member of staff, but they said there's really nothing they can do, as technically no-one has stolen anything. I was so pissed off! Never going to get another one the day before Christmas, and I'm not chasing around the county to look for one. Also, this store is the only one I have seen selling sherry trifles!

On the way out, she smirked at me and said 'Merry Christmas!' I was like

AIBU to hope the sherry trifle gives her the shits?!

I went back in and got a raspberry trifle by the way, but I'm so pissed off.

P.s. No, I'm not making my own. It's too late to source all the ingredients now anyway!

@Blossomtoes I remember this too!!! Also, do you remember grown women snatching Cabbage Patch Dolls off little children back in the 1980s?! That was shocking!

But yes, I also remember the fights over Tellytubbies! Luckily I had a relative (SIL) who worked at Toys R Us at the time. Even she was only allowed to take 2 Tellytubbies though! In total... She got one for me - for my DD (she was 2,) and one for her own little boy who was 4. I did have another child, but my other one was still a little baby, and just wanted feeding, and the nappy changing half a dozen times a day. No concept of much else. 😆 Good job, or the 2 of them would have been fighting over LaLa. 😂

I hope her water was cut off when she got the shits, and that she only became aware of this when she tried to flush for the first time.

No way she's a total bitch. She will pick on the wrong person one day if that's how she behaves all the time. Her days are numbered.

Oh yes indeed. She will eventually pilfer from the wrong person, and they will knock her out! Awful woman. Still hoping she got the shits! 😆

Oh, that would be so funny! 😆

I'd have knocked it out of her hands so it smashed on the floor.

Someone did this to me once, though it was without any verbal exchange, and it was regarding the last roasted chicken. It was behind a glass so had to be chosen and packaged. I could feel the person next to me really bristling or something, whatever it was, I just suddenly became aware of them next to me while I was waiting to recieve the chicken. When I got to the check out it was gone. I hate to admit it, but I felt a little ashamed, which makes no sense, as it's their bad behaviour, but in my shame I just carried on and acted as if I hadn't noticed. People are weird and do odd things.

I had this years ago - though not with a trifle!!

Next sale - stood there with a pair of shorts I’d been after for my then baby son as they were an exact match for his grandads. I’d literally just pulled them off the rail and was thrilled. And a woman literally ripped them OUT OF MY HANDS!!

Not sure where it came from but I must have been particularly feisty at that time of the morning and said quite loudly and directly ‘I don’t think so!!’ And snatched them back off her

I actually still have them, tucked away for grandchildren 😅

I’d have reached over and poked my finger through the cellophane and given it a good stir!!!
cheeky cow

Sitting here pondering this and wondering why people feel so entitled?

I was once in a toilet at the doctor's surgery. Someone tried the handle while I was sat on the toilet, but obviously it didn't open, so she just started rattling and rattling it.

I was only having a quick wee, honestly wasn't long. I washed my hands and opened the door and this woman was just stood there, hands on hips, glaring at me. She said "THANK YOU!" loudly and then pushed past me. I was gobsmacked. She was actually really angry that someone had the audacity to be using the toilet when SHE wanted it.

I imagine trifle-lady has a similar attitude. She went there with the intention of getting a trifle and just could not comprehend the concept of not having one because someone else wanted it first.

I wonder what made them so self centered?

Good for you. Your scenario reminds me of the incident in the wedding dress shop (with Monica in Friends.) She found the perfect dress, (had seen it on a rack in the shop,) and was waiting for a sale when it would be a third cheaper.. She shared the information with a woman she met who was also getting married in a few months, and the woman came to the sale Monica told her about, and tried to snaffle the dress.

Monica managed to get it. She won the battle but not the war. The woman went and booked the exact (music) band Monica wanted at hers and Chandler's wedding, and wouldn't cancel them unless she gave her the dress.

It was quite a bland dress anyway! She went on to get one better. 😃

.

Also @xAwaywiththefairiesx that's awful, trying to force you out the toilet, like she owned it!

Why are some people so shit?!

I wish I’d been there to trip her over on the way out.

I don't know! I couldn't ever imagine doing this to someone - or anything like the scenarios people have mentioned on here.

Remember that woman at the baseball game (in America/Philadelphia I think,) a few months ago, who snatched a ball off a little boy, when it got batted into the crowd? She was absolutely anihalated online for it. And she had the nerve to say SHE was the victim and HER life is ruined. Don't be a cunt then luv.

Me and my friend were in Debenhams once and I placed a handbag in front of us, on a rail literally in front of us so I could get a good look at it and decide if I wanted it. It was a really cute shopper bag with a lovely colour.

This woman swoops past us (we are in between aisles) grabs the bag and does a runner with it, leaving me and my friend with mouths open like who the fuck does that?

Anyway, the joke was on her, because the reason I was deciding to buy it or not, is because a button had left a dint in it near the fastener and it was the last one.

My dear mother went and got me a new one, without a dint in it so sod that woman! But the audacity of her. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ha face down into the trifle would have been epic. 🤣🤣🤣
