do you ever find left over notes in shopping torlleys or elsewhere? i

[codnotamod]

i am vaguely intrigued by these as identified in teh times
"Discarded notes are rubbish to most people, but not for worldwide subscribers to Found, which reprints them. The magazine?s publisher, Davy Rothbart, gets bundles sent to his office in Michigan. Laura Kwerel, a radio producer in Washington, was ?overwhelmed? after reading one issue. ?I realise now,? she says, ?that there is more humanity in a discarded grocery list than in a thousand-page novel.? Some people need to get out more. "

it was in the trolley, i only spotted it once I was half way up the first aisle.

lol cabe

Along the same lines really - overheard mobile phone conversations....

Today I heard a woman answer her phone and say

Hello....in the kitchen.....no, the cupboard....no....behind the tea bags, right..bye!

which I thought was mildy amusing

I used to do proof reading for a guy and one morning I happened to catch a glance at a list he had written of things to do. However it was quite freakily detailed, went something like this:

1. Leave house
2. Walk to library
3. Enter library

...and so on.

I don't often write lists but when I do, often write them in that special language I share with ds, eg chocolate is 'la-la', olives are 'la-las', humzingers are 'haw-haws'. We know what we mean!

Ye Gods - dh is at supermarket as we speak - with my list wot I wrote!! Must ring him NOW and tell him on no account to leave it in the trolley! I'm insecure enough already without worrying wot some random stranger is thinking/deducing from my ill-scribed, disorganised and frankly, not healthy enough, shopping list.

ps. I always write 'nice ham' on my list if dh is doing the shopping

In my town, Waitrose shoppers write on vellum with gold ink and they only write lists like:
1: Lovely, lovely little nibbley things
2: Champers
3: Greek Olives for Jocasta's packed luncheon
4: Tin of Spam for the Au Pair
etc
Sigh, I collect their cast-off lists as I stand with my nose pressed against the windows....

Am very disappointed not to have needed to shop today!
Cod interesting I'm doing Sociology at Warwick uni... could this be the subject of my dissertation next year do you think?

In my experience Waitrose in Kiddy was frequented by sad middle aged bachelors looking for mummy cooking substitute food (most of which they bought just past the sell-by date)
Unsavory IMO
