Just out shopping in Aldi today and a woman (older) and husband shopping, she had her bikini bottoms on and a sort of short cover up
top (not covering her bum)
Aibu to not really want to be near this whilst reaching for my cheese?

Cheek of her

😃

I read it as "Burn out in Aldi" and imagined the OP faceplanted in the cheese fridge, unable to take it any more.

I know how that feels.

I look, I think "ew, ok", and I get on with my life. It is not hard, and certainly not worth a MN thread.
If you are so put out by someone having their arse out in Aldi, then confront them instead of wussing out and moaning online instead.

Yes @quaintireneofrye
Just another example of the prejudice quite common among a good percentage of MNers.

You're not unreasonable for not liking it - but who really cares ? Live& let live ?

Our Lidl has a large sign on the door saying no swimwear and shirts but be worn. Apparently people were coming in in swimwear back in June. We are coastal but it’s not on the beach

Not another bum post 😆

It is wild on here today! 😳

mamajong · 11/08/2026 16:54

I think i am doing life wrong because I can honestly say what other people wear in the supermarket barely registers on my radar, certainly not enough to invoke a strong enough reaction to make a post!

How is everyone so focused on everyone else's age and attire?! I am either looking at my list, the shelves, my trolley and quick glances to make sure I am not about to mow anyone down. In and out asap is my motto, couldnt give a damn if someone is in swimwear, a onesie or a gorilla suit as ling as they dont slow me down 🤣

JJ1992 · 11/08/2026 16:54

Maybe she was in buying shorts 😂

What the fact she is older got to do with it OP?

Why does it matter what age she was?

As far as I'm concerned I don't want to see anyone's bare bum when I'm in the supermarket. Or traveling on public transport. A woman in tiny shorts sitting in the seat in front of me on the bus one hot day literally had the flesh of her bum stuck to the seat when she tried to get up to get off the bus. Pity the poor person who had to sit there after her .

Edited

It wasn’t anything bad to being older, it was just to emphasise that it wasn’t some teen/twenty something in a thong, before people said I was jealous!

Is it arse out day?

60andcounting · 11/08/2026 17:01

It's the fashion. I work in a busy city. Loads of very short skirts and bum cheeks on display.

Ohgiveoverwillyou · 11/08/2026 17:01

Trumptontown · 11/08/2026 16:36

I don’t want to see anyone’s bum in the supermarket, older or not. I also don’t want to see topless men.

Exactly this!!

The OP was reaching for cheese, not truffle oil. I'm hoping Waitrose is safe for Oldies with their arses out.

🤣

Bummer. I hate when that happens.

quaintireneofrye · 11/08/2026 17:02

Ohgiveoverwillyou · 11/08/2026 17:01

Exactly this!!

So why the "older" comment?

You can dislike it all you want, as long as you don't do anything about it (other than leave the vicinity or moan on mumsnet).

As I said above, people would say I was jealous if it was a younger woman in a thong, I wouldn’t be, just think anyone doing it is a bit 😬

Perhaps we could have an annual day each year in August when Mumsnet becomes Bumsnet? 😂

This is so silly it made me cackle 😂

Was it a thong?
Excellent. We haven't had a thong thread for a while.
