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?

Excellent @HopeMumsnet, am sure I saw owl noises mentioned on another thread yesterday too! What on earth are they? Literally 'twittoowoo'?

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 19/01/2022 08:42

@MichelleScarn she said the owl noises were more coo coo
if that helps Grin

This one (which I missed the first time around).

The woman who hoots like an owl in people's faces if they talk too much.

"I snapped and farted".

I think MN has broken me today 😅

CAN YOU CLARIFY!
Who the hell are you talking about?
What should you have reminded him of?
How do you stand like T Rex?
What where you doing in Asda in the first place!

What a brilliant thread!!

AutomaticMoon · 20/01/2022 03:00

By t-rex do you mean standing with tiny arms coming from the armpits, looking gormless?

AutomaticMoon · 20/01/2022 03:02

I sometimes stand like this but on a man I suppose it’s even less attractive?! I’m sure I’m v sexy when standing like that. Usually accompanied by a glazed look in my eyes, as my senses are become overwhelmed with fluorescent lighting.

Sharon, is that you.

MNHQ please do not ever remove this again, it is part of MN history.

@tara0202

How ungrateful.of him. He did ask you to remind him (I assume remind him to do t-Rex. I'd love to know if that's a performance of tiger feet or going about roaring like a dinosaur).
PMSL 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love these threads. How long until we get our first Haiku?

I’ve seen snapped and farted, which still brings me to tears but where can I find the owl one?

There you go. I think it was the OP's casual insistence that doing owl noises in someone's face to get attention is totally normal that broke me - the whole thread is a treat with the comments 😅

Bunnyfuller · 20/01/2022 09:11

I feel you OP. I can’t count the number of arguments me and DH have had around his penchant to slide around the supermarket like a plesiosaur. Apart from what it does to his clothes, it takes up so much room in the aisles. Obviously this is in Waitrose, because Mumsnet, you know (Can’t believe you coughed to shopping in Asda, he is DBU to make you shop there).

Perhaps you could compromise on a different prehistoric lizard? DH is trying to work towards Stegosaurus as this at least walks around in a dignified manner, and the only issue would be him swiping in to scoff the organic cavalo nero.

Lucycantdance · 20/01/2022 09:17

@TheBestofTimesTheWorstofTimes thank you you’ve made my day 😂

Lucycantdance · 20/01/2022 09:17
