in the queue in the local small shop - think spar/co-op type thing

woman in front goes to pay - sticks her fingers down her ample cleavage and takes out a £20 from in her bra.

Ok, so her sun dress had no pocket and she had no bag but ewwww!!! it must have been all sweaty and moist when she handed it over

eeewwww!! or AIBU and thats all the rage thesedays?

(oh and as she had to carry the change in her hand anyway, why not have had the money there in the first place?)

ugh. YANBU

Tryharder · 30/06/2010 12:58

Yuk, that's skanky!!! Incidentally, what was the reaction of the person serving? Hope they had a pair of gloves available....

AmazingBouncingFerret · 30/06/2010 12:59

Lol she probably fancies the cashier and was trying to be alluring!

YABU

Seems quite imaginitive to me!

I have never thought of keeping stuff in there but I suppose it could be a useful alternative to pockets.

I once dropped a prawn down there when I was eating a sandwich in a pub - that was unpleasant.

I gave my specs to my friend to put there when I was swimming in a lake once, she was on the side.

Never saw them again!

5foot5 - so you would not do a double take and feel a bit queasy if YOU were the cashier then? It was a woman, she did not seem to bat an eyelid - I suppose they get money handed over by all sorts of dirty grubby smelly people which would be as bad if not worse - or perhaps she just was not looking directly at the customer at the time, or was on auto pilot waiting for the end of her shift. It was just the thought of the £20 being warm and damp that made ME shudder!

Lucky it wasn't in her pants.

When I was a child my mum came to collect me from Brownies on her bike. She brought some money (notes) to pay for Brownie camp, or something, and took it out of her SHOE right in front of Brown Owl. I was mortified!

meltedmarsbars · 30/06/2010 13:15

Was she frightened she would get mugged on the way?

LynetteScavo · 30/06/2010 13:17

No, my mother has no fear of muggers, what so ever.

She was just being grufty. Normally she is quite a respectable person.

She told me she had no pocket or bag. This was 30 years ago, and I still haven't forgiven her.

I put notes down my bra when I don't have pockets Always take them out just before I go into the shop though!

Kaloki · 30/06/2010 13:23

I used to keep money and cards in my bra at gigs, because carrying a bag was a pain and difficult to keep safe.

Haggisfish · 30/06/2010 13:25

YANBU - disgusting. I used to work in a nightclub cloakroom and one girl did actually pull her cloakroom ticket out of her skanky sweaty pants and attempted to hand it to me - I politely declined as I nearly vomited on her!

5Foot5 · 30/06/2010 13:25

PeedOffWithNits "It was just the thought of the £20 being warm and damp that made ME shudder! "

Well if a man took a £20 note out of his trouser pocket it might be warm and could well have been in close proximity to his b**s but I think it would be a bit over-sensitive to recoil and refuse to handle it!

Mind you if it was damp as well that would be another matter......

StainedGlass · 30/06/2010 13:29

Well she may have been fragrant
When i worked in a shop the worst was men who got their change out of their pocket along with a snotty hanky or tissue and proceed to unpeel the coins in front of you then hand them over.
BOAK
I washed my hands so much in that job they got sore.

LynetteScavo · 30/06/2010 13:31

I once went shopping in Capri, with no bag and just a credit card down my bikini bottoms. (My skirt didn't have any pockets)

At the time I thought I was being quite cool.

My mother has a lot to answer for.
