to have thought that this was a display of smuggy smuggishness

[cupcakesandbunting]

This morning, went with DS into local Sainsbury's for supplies and we were looking at the cheese and stuff when another mum with two LOs under 3 in her trolley. She also peruses the shelves then says to her eldest child "oh my GOODNESS! There's NO tzatziki!" Little one looks at his mum like she's off her rocker then she says again "There. Is. NO. TZATZIKI!" She then summons a shelf-stacker to moan about there being no tzatziki and explains to him at length that it's all that her two will eat with their crudites all the time doing a terrible cat's bum mouth that suggested that the shelves of hummous/salsa/raita weren't agreeable to her wunderkind's palate.

I almost handed her a tub of humous and told her to get a grip. AIBU aren't I?

OOh, does anyone else get a cheap illicit thrill from buying crap like pop tarts and findus crispy pancakes from Waitrose and seeing all the mummies eyeball my shopping trolley and categorising me as an Asda shopper.

Oi! Get those breadsticks and dips back out, I'm ruddy starving!

LMAO @ cupcakesandbunting - thank goodness I'm posting on shopping day, otherwise it may have been tesco "pringles" and homemade value mayo & curry powder dip.
phew!

Do waitrose do that? I can't even get McCain Smilies at mine

Surely the appropriate response is "Gosh, I always make my own tzatziki, there are far fewer nutrients in the premade kind..."

no?

Oh I am lying about the findus crispy pancakes

I have bought pop tarts from there. And other standard crap like Frosties and doritos etc.

Yes, GOML.

We had a barbecue on sunday and I popped into Waitrose to get some nicer sausages for the tiddlers than I had bought for the grown-ups. Whilst I was in there, I bought a pack of potato smiley faces! I felt so naughty putting them into my basket!

Once in Waitrose I asked where the frozen meat was. The man gave me a look like I'd asked him where the frozen corpses were.

I like Findus Crispy pancakes. The cheese and ham ones. Nom nom nom. [guilty emoticon]

YABU

If she really wanted to be smug she would have made it herself from organic ingredients grown in her allotment.

I'm sure I've bought a frozen total freedom air plucked 28 day aged spatchcock from there before...

ahahaha. Ive only been in waitrose once. Walked all around the place with a big smile on my face, admiring all the stuff and bought myself a doughnut because I wanted to use the sticker machine thingy.

Desperately need a Waitrose nearer to where I live.

smug??? hardly. it's all they'll eat

you could easily have out-smugged her by saying "oh, ho ho, MY 2 will eat anything, I've always offered them a very varied diet"

mininpie, perfect response

Getorf - my Dh was slightly mortified when i asked him to get me Pot Noodles when he went shopping. His reply "Do Waitrose sell such crap?" Answer Yes they do!

Oh and there is only a couple of bags of smiley faces in ours at a time, so either they are very popular with the waitrose crowd or it is the same two bags....

I've never been to Waitrose, i don't think my fragile ego could handle it.

I was in Asda in glasgow on Hogmanay last year getting booze and stuff for the night ahead, and there was a very posh man cracking up at some wee laddie in an Asda uniform.

'What? No creme de cassis?! On New Years Night!!!? This is an outrage!'

it's become a catchphrase whenever anyone's being pretentious.

Personally I make my own - somone pass the yoghurt.

fucked up my italics

Sad woman, sounds like she could be character material for "Little Britain" "Dahlings only eat tzatziki,don't you kno"

chuck em a spam butty.

DH and I have one of these from when we went to look at a stately home as a potential wedding venue (couldn't afford half a wedding there as it turned out) We were looking out onto the grounds, which were rather lovely, from a first floor window, when a booming Country Casuals-type women rolled up and looked out of the window and proclaimed "What a boring vista, Heggy!"

Quite. I mean your landing window probably looks out over the hanging gardens of Babylon or something equally super

haha, thats amazing!

If she was really smug she should have gone and made her own!
