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?

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

August is Bumsnet, September is OMGIt'sTheBiggestSpiderInTheWorldNet. The latter is twinned with IKnewSomebodyWhoThoughtItWasJustASpider-HerArmFellOffAndSheDiedNet.

It's worse in farmfoods. They get their fannies out there.

Letmeknowifyouchangeyourmind · 11/08/2026 17:16

Well, as it's MN, I'll ask the usual stupid question:

"Why were you looking at her bum?"

You should know that MNetters have "special" eyes/glasses which means they never see anything in their peripheral vision. They just gaze directly into people's eyes and would never be so common to look at what anyone is wearing, notice what size people are despite the numerous posts where posters are indulging in that well-known pastime "people watching"

Guys can we all agree to put our bums away to prevent these posts 😂

I agree but you will get your arse handed to you on MN.

Nicely done ✔️ 👏

I've never heard of Farmfoods, it sounds like a very den of iniquity.

It's positively Roman.

If they were full bikini pants woundn't bother me in the slightest. Hotpants show more.

Ohgiveoverwillyou · 11/08/2026 17:20

quaintireneofrye · 11/08/2026 17:08

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

No just pants 🩲

She should have put her pyjama trousers on like any decent Aldi customer would do 😀

Well I suppose arse out in Aldi is marginally better than tits out in Tesco.

Least it wasn't Waitrose is suppose
ah well we can talk about arse cheeks out at Aldi instead
🙄

I beg your pardon. Arses are not allowed out IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES in Waitrose.

Now excuse me whilst I go clutch my pearl thong 👀

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 😬

There is a bit more coverage in bikini bottoms and thong. Both are scummy in shops, but I hate the blokes with the t shirts off either very scrawny or have huge beer bellies that sweat everywhere.

PancakeCloud · 11/08/2026 17:55

Honestly you need to just get over it. It’s bums out summer. Think about all the people in Aldi that probably don’t wash their hands - hidden in plain sight all year round

Depends. If said Arse is wearing red trousers, they all seem to flock to the corner with the wine when you're just trying to get past and find where the gluten free granola has been hidden this week.

outdooryone · 11/08/2026 18:07

Aldi do a fine line in buns in my experience.

CommentHere · 11/08/2026 18:10

You were looking for a nice shopping trip in Aldi, and now you are getting a bum deal.

Aiming4Optimistic · 11/08/2026 16:31

I'd prefer this to men with no tops on, bare bellies hanging over the freezers!

How about we don't have either sex walking around with beachwear on? It's gross from men and women.

They're only looking for a cheeky Bordeaux.

Of course and they're very anal about it

When they're not being total dicks and blocking the way. But dicks out in Waitrose is a whole different thread.
