To want the woman in Waitrose today to keep her opinions to herslef?

[ComeOVeneer]

This woman practically followed me around the shop commenting on my shopping choices.

I bought a loaf of pre-sliced white bread (I usually bake my own, but this was to make sandwiches for the picnic after dd's sports day tomorrow) - "you know you are at greater risk of diabetes if you eat that".

I bought ham - "that has stuff in it that is carcinogenic you know"

I bought bleach - "that is harmful to the environment don't you know"

AAAARRRRGGGHH! I considered throwing in a crate of fruit shoots and a mahoosive bottle of vodka just to see her reaction

What on earth makes people think it is any of their business what other people buy????

How weird. DO you know her?

You should have put a french stick in your trolley and beat her with it

How very very bizarre!
What did she have in her trolley

NO!!! good lord. Did she look a bit like a dessicated hamster? Was she, in fact, Gillian McKeith?

I was buying jars of baby food to go camping with in boots a while ago and picked up mini rusks - some woman said to be oh-so-patronisingly

There's a lot of sugar in those you know.

I said good, and put them in the basket.

omg!did you ask her why she was doing it?
lol at was she gillian mckeith

Maybe she is a MN addict, and forgot she was in RL and not on a thread!

how did you resist? you could have had real fun creating one of those really bizarre trolley-loads that make you stare and wonder what people are up to. 20 boxes of condoms; 10 packs of new-born nappies; 15 jars of curry sauce; 6 dozen eggs; 10 bottles of really cheap hair conditioner...

I would have said with a lovely sweet smile and in a cheery tone of voice, 'Why don't you stick your head up your arse and fuck off, you madwoman?' then carried on walking as though she didn't exist.

That's hilarious!

Maybe it was her last day and she has decided it was her last chance to speak her mind.

How brilliantly bonkers!

I would have gone to the pile cream/piss pads section and put some in her basket and walked off

LOL running social commentary on your shopping coming to a supermarket near you "oh-you-dont-wanna-buy-that..."

What a weirdo. I had a worker at tesco give me diet advice and comment on the reasons I must be so fat because I was stood infront of all the cake bar type things picking things for DSs birthday last year. I felt like grabbing an armful and dribbling. Instead I picked one thing and waddled ran off. Oooh, I was embarrassed. Then pissed off, but mainly embarrassed

Was it Sheheheehehehehrezade Goldplated?

don't take your mother shopping then

Hatwoman, lol at the dodgy basket.

I remember when we were ttc and were having a party. Went through the self-service check out as embarassed by contents of basket then set the alarm off anyway.

Was beyond when security guard went through bags and all I had was four bottles of wine and 3 pregnancy tests.

At least it was Asda.

She had (from what I could see with ds trying to run down slow moving OAPs with his "mini trolley, I want a mini trolley" (why oh why do they provide those? DO they honestly think it makes our live any easier allowing small children accesss to light weight bumber cars?) just yoghurt, a lot (at least 6 large cartoons) of plain organic yoghurt!

I am pretty good about food/environment etc I cook most things from scratch, recycle etc etc etc. But more to the point even if my trolley was full of cr*p whose business is it but mine!

Lord knows what she would have made of my shopping on Friday. 16 litres of vanilla ice cream and a bottle of gin

Should have put a couple of packs of Durex in the trolley

I did once approach a stranger in a supermarket, and say 'God, you eat crap'.

In my defence, his basket was full of crap.

Ok, and he was wearing the same coat as the friend I was there with.

I was a tiny bit

That's incredibly odd!!

You should have pelted her with sprouts.

Or filled your trolley with KY jelly and root vegetables.

COV do you live in the South West. I think this woman might have been my MIL!
