in wanting to twat people who do their waitrose shopping in jodphurs

[brimfull]

honestly there were hordes of them today

Hecate - you're spectacularly missing the whole point of AIBU!

blimey get a sense of humour people!!!

Don't know about jodphurs, but dh reckons we're obliged to put cider, cigarettes and pies in the trolley if we call into the supermarket in tracksuits and trainers.

He also threatened to drop condoms into the trolley of a nun he saw shopping (I managed to stop him).

ggirl

"she sees all manner of ponces"

ho ho ho

rj sorry but it's all so much tastier for your objections and the was the cherry on top

yabu...when I was still lucky enough to do horse riding I would pop into the shops on teh way home, etc....can't see a problem wiht it, and not a ponce...well...for starters I can't afford to shop in Waitrose, lol....

yabu. start shopping in netto, you won't see many jodphur wearers in there.

if they have no intention of horse riding YANBU at all

( I used to live near Chris eubank and serve his lycra clad brother in a cafe all the time, still makes me shudder)

I mean I know jods were fashion at one point...but that was like many years ago, wasn't it...surely people nowadays don't go round in them unless riding?

YABU. They can go in their pyjamas if they like.

Go to Tesco if you don't want jodphurs. Much less ponciness there.

mamhaf - is you dh 5? he sounds a hoot....

Trillian...now Pyjamas otside the house DO bother me....I don't want to see people in their skanky PJ's...

A girl was in the pub on Friday trying to get money out of us for Comic Relief because she had been wearing her pyjamas all day. I'll admit that her tousers did look quite loose, btu her top (black vesty thing with white sleeves coming out) looked like any number of daytime tops that I've seen in the shops. I refused, on the basis that if you want sponsoring for wearing pyjamas you should wear ones with teddies on them, or at least ones that don't look like normal clothes.

There's not much difference between skanky joggers and skanky pjs in the supermarket, IMHO.

Anyway, the question was AIBY to want to 'twat' people who...
Yes, BU to twat them, NBU to think they should dress less stupidly. Jodphurs are like 4x4s, to be regarded with suspicion if they are not muddy.

lol Trillian

Op are you in Newmarket? More people in riding gear as they tend to do their shopping on way home from work. Can't really see the problem with it.

Errrm - don't get this one. DS rides and sometimes picks up stuff from Tesco on the way back from the yard. If so, he'll be wearing jods. If not, he'll be in jeans. Either way, he wouldn't want to be lampooned for what he's wearing when he's running an errand for me... In fact, pleeease don't snigger and put him off, even if he is in his riding gear

Where else can they go? They've been banned from Tesco .

Loads of the mums at dd1's school wear jodphurs on the school run... I'm sure it's to make some kind of a statement ('Oh look at my lifestyle'). I mean, it takes 10 mins max to shower and get changed before the school run, non? (And these are al ladies with far too much time on their hands... )

mosse - perhaps they are going straight to the yard after dropping dc off. i go to nursery with mine on. they are clean when i go. i am clean when i go. i go to the yard AFTER when i've no dc.

I quite like the smell of horse...

RJ - no, they are always wearing them at pick up. And they have their own horses stabled in their own acreage.

Mooseheart The question is "do they look good in them?" if yes, then that is why they are wearing them, if not, then they have not had time to change

but i would guess there not going to ride them till dc are at nursery/school from a safety/childcare aspect its easier.

so you want them to put on 1 set of clothes in morning to muck out.

go have a shower/change.

do nursery run,

come back and get changed into jodphur to ride.

then have another shower/change to collect....

I wish I had a Waitrose...I am not a fan of the jodphur ladies but dh likes to see them!

Blimey RJ, tbh the issue doesn't bother me so much that I've analysed their daily routines - all I know is that if I'm wearing something 'unsuitable' by the time it comes to school run time (say I've been baking cupcakes and am naked but for a pinny) I get a pair of jeans on.

I believe that the reason probably is as alicecrail has mentioned, they do actually look good in them, (and they're a bit of a lifestyle statement ) but tbh it has only ever been an observation of mine, not a bugbear .

doesn't sound like a bugbear to me
sounds like a momentary moment of ridicule

of course it fits in with some people's lives
but it's just funny
