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!

Great news! DH and I have got a sherry trifle!

Well, we will have tomorrow. DD got one for us this morning - a luxury one. She and our other DC are coming tomorrow, late morning, for Christmas day, with their partners.

So we will have a lovely, large, sherry trifle that should feed all 6 of us! She got it from a little quirky independent shop in the town where she lives.

Thanks so much everyone for all the funny messages, the kind and warm-hearted messages and not treating me like I'm batshit! (Which I am a bit!) 😆

It was Morrisons (where I was yesterday when my sherry trifle got 'stolen') by the way (for those asking,) so as nice as their trifles are, I imagine the large luxury one will be better, so the silly woman has done me a favour.

Christmas is saved! 😆

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄

I told you about the karma fairy. 🤣 You get your trifle, but she still gets the shits.

I'd have been tempted to knock it out of her hands, all over the floor, then no one gets trifle! 😂

Nothing like hoping! 😆

I think I was just so gobsmacked - that I did nothing. I wish I had knocked it out of her hands now! 😆

I'd have body slammed her for the trifle😡

Doesn't surprise me. I've had people nick stuff out of my trolley in supermarkets when I was elsewhere occupied.

I was so tickled by this thread that I told my DH about it. His response was "Sounds just like my mother!" (meaning, the trifle nicker). And he is right! Luckily MIL is in another country, far away...

Yeah, they do walk among us! 😬

Desperately sad, some people are over entitled and awful. I missed the last of one item so went to another shop for it, simples! Would've been the end of the world anyway for a trifle!

Two fellas in our Sainsbury’s had fisticuffs over a Turkey last year. A frozen one. On Christmas Eve.

As to your trifle woman. What a demented thing to do. Also really quite sad. It wouldn’t have stopped me making a cunt laden reply to her Merry Christmas though.

Same happened to me over 25 years ago with the last chicken. I saw her take it out of my trolley so I followed her and took it back!

I once saw two couples in a physical fight over selection boxes in the Oadby Asda in Leicester.

Revolting woman. Hope it’s off.

LOL, good for you! 😆

I think I would have done something outrageous too.

😱 this is honestly one of the craziest things I’ve ever read on this site and I’ve been here years! What a horrible cow!

I know right. Like I said, I hope it gives her the shits. 😆💩

Is this a joke.

Reminds me of something out of a crazy silent movie.

Hilarious

Not a joke sadly! I do have a much better trifle coming tomorrow though.

Courtesy of my DD!

She may have stolen your trifle, but she’s given you the best gift ever - a priceless anecdote that you will be retelling for Christmases to come. Imagine the dinner party stories and “fun facts” that you will now have at your fingertips: “Hi, I’m GoldandSilverBells, and someone once stole an entire sherry trifle from me”. Honestly you are the real winner here OP! In fact the Daily Mail will probably have picked this up before the New Year. Triflegate. Brilliant. She’ll have egg on her face then, and you can soak up the attention while she sponges off someone else. [Insert other trifle related puns here]

Awww, thanks @LilySLE Have a lovely Christmas!

And the same to everyone else. 🎄

What an absolute cow! I just wouldn’t even contemplate doing that, so much for Christmas spirit. I hope she drops it on the way home.

I'd have knocked it out of her hands.

I would have taken a good clear photo of her and joined every conceivable local fb page and plastered her all over them with a description of her despicable selfish thieving behaviour, asking if anyone knows her name! Also if she tries to deny it on social media it will be on the store cctv. I also would have had it literally in my hand if I was being followed round the store. I might even have checked out, locked it in my car boot then gone back to finish my shopping. Didn't you realise she was planning to steal it? Not that it's your fault, obvs.
