to be aghast at this old woman I saw

[Fibilou]

putting her cigarette out (really grinding it) on the trunk of a tree in the town centre.

I wanted to say something but am not really the confrontational type. Now I wish I had

Op has a point actually. There is a yob in our street who looked at one of my daffodils in an aggressive way

fair shook me up it did

This is a scene in Friends where Phoebe challenges someone for stubbing their fag out on a tree.

She was aghast in a tv show.

I keep running down my garden and lamping the plum tree right between it's branches. Is this wrong?

Sorry OP

well i thought you were going to say you'd seen an old lady in a terible state or upset or being mugged.

that's something that would make me 'aghast' tbh.

Sorry OP, I think it's just the word 'aghast' that's amusing people. I also thought you were going to describe some disgusting, anti-social action that would put me off my lunch.

I knew an old lady who swallowed a fly.

The jury is still out apparently as to the motive behind her behaviour

pud1 maybe she thought it was an ashtree

cant believe i couldnt think of that one. gutted

Only thought of it when I read your post

Literally rolling on the floor at work @ Herbitea's post hahaha

Are you Phoebe Buffay?

It sounds frightfully common and I would have done CBM at it because I am a raging snob. I wouldn't have been offended by it though.

Do hope the tree is OK though.

Don't worry, she'll get her comeuppance. You'll see her in the Courts section of the local newspaper being done for menacing a hedge.

Just seen it on the beeb
she's been arrested by special branch

Hope she sees this thread and turns over a new leaf

OP seems a bit of a sap.

The old woman was obviously barking mad.

did you catch her on your mobile?
you can tell the sun.. an exclusive on old ladies behaving badly in our broken britain

Did you think the tree might catch fire, and you would have the burning bush in your town centre, and it would become the centre of a pilgrimage?

now, that would push the house prices down, I bet.

puntastic

Has the OP logged out?
