Shouting at me in the supermarket

Sorry am on phone so apologies if this makes no sense but he was doing t-Rex in Asda so i slapped his arm (not hard obviously) and he got really cross and said he'd stand however he wants and stormed off. It was really embarrassing as loads of people were staring and he'd told me to remind him anyway! He's acting like nothing has happened now. Aibu to not just let it drop?

doing a t-rex Aren't there laws against that sort of thing? Grin

Doghead · 09/05/2021 08:23

OP......are you and your other half normally allowed out in public?

BrumBoo · 09/05/2021 09:03

@iloveeverykindofcat they didn't delete it 9 years ago so I think you're safe. This thread will have the tea spitters and baby-wakers going for many years, I'm sure.

I thought this had been moved to classics.

@sashh

I thought this had been moved to classics.
Me too, but either way I'm glad it popped up again on a rainy Sunday morning 🤣

Was Sharon there?

Iamaperiwinkle · 09/05/2021 09:34

2012? Is he still standing like a T-Rex or is he a fossil now?

Silverstreaks · 09/05/2021 09:46

I couldn't believe there was another TRexxing Asda thread after all these years. Glad to see it's the original resurrected.

There are no words....

Pyewackect · 09/05/2021 10:43

This thread is about as old as a T-Rex !.

@ilovesooty

I don't think the fact that this was posted using a phone is the reason it makes no sense.
Agree 100%. Tried to give it a pass as a crazy number of typos/autocorrect on steroids but nope - still makes no sense!
Beautiful3 · 09/05/2021 10:57

It's obviously his natural standing posture. Just leave him alone, don't slap him.

Erikrie · 09/05/2021 12:00

T Rexing 😁 let's bring back T Rexing. Can't believe I remember this from the first time round. I have been here too long.

@FrankieAnne

Its very hard to explain. Tony Maguire is what he does sometimes but he doesn't mean to, it's just his face. I don't mind Spiderman so much. Owl isn't to bad either but I do have to shout it out when he does it just so that he realises. Rabbit is awful, I hate it so that results in a poke. Mole also results in a poke whereas T-Rex is more serious and needs a light slap on the arm. There are a few variations of Mole. Mole whilst watching TV, Mole whilst getting dressed and Mole whilst shopping. More serious though is Mole whilst driving which means I have to shout out.

Mr trip-up.

I went to school with a lad called Tony Maguire. He didn't stand funny.

First owl noises now a T-Rex.

What’s next…..

Kuachui · 18/01/2022 17:34

such an old thread - _-

Mix56 · 18/01/2022 17:36

Are you on glue ?

Stigsmother · 18/01/2022 17:37

Yes, very old but I'm glad it has been resurrected, it cheered me up no end Grin

ilovemybeachhut · 18/01/2022 17:38

The gift that keeps on giving. I remember this from first time round Blush,
Op and dh were an odd pair, I wonder what happened to them?

ddl1 · 18/01/2022 17:40

I don't understand quite what happened; but if your partner/son/person in the queue at ASDA is really acting like a T-Rex, he should be worrying about a meteorite striking the Earth, more than about you shouting at him!

Morning everyone! That's this classic reinstated (and placed in Classics - what an omission!)
Apologies for last night's deletion... would never have happened if T-Rex had been in the title but we just didn't put two and two together, sorry!

HopeMumsnet · 19/01/2022 08:04

Also, while we're here, let's get this Classics thing sorted out. It's an ill wind and all that...
