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?

Funnily enough there is a guy that works in the Asda near me who has little tiny short arms, are you talking about him?
He can't help it, he does genuinely have short arms like a T-Rex, was no need to slap him, you are prejudiced about those with disabilities!Biscuit

"Tiger feet"

LadyBeagleEyes · 19/06/2012 22:20

Um, can I just point out that Tiger Feet was Mud, not T Rex.
Apologise for being a music pedant.

Eh

CrumpettyTree · 19/06/2012 22:22

8 pages in and the Op still hasn't confirmed which family member she is talking about and their age and what she was supposed to remind him of.

AnyFucker · 19/06/2012 22:25

laughing my head off here < wipes tears >

I can't even think of anything funny to add Grin

FrankieAnne · 19/06/2012 22:25

OH is not supposed to do t-rex but sometimes forgets and so I remind him by slapping his arms down. Today he took offense and I don't know why really, possibly as I'd reminded him about cuddling groceries 5 mins earlier and it started to seem like I was picking at him.

What is T-rex? Why is he not supposed to do it?

That would help?

crazynanna · 19/06/2012 22:27

The Sharon thread...was it real?

'Cos if it was...then it was like one of them there movies where someone runs around with a shaky camera.

Cathycomehome · 19/06/2012 22:28

Cuddling groceries! Brilliant. Grin

doggiemumma · 19/06/2012 22:28

Does he have OCD or something? because if so, YABU if not, you are both quite mad and this thread has made my night

enimmead · 19/06/2012 22:28

Why does he do T-rex?

travailtotravel · 19/06/2012 22:28

Are we sure its t-rex the dinosaur and not an inappropriate hyphenation of a well known home baking product

storminabuttercup · 19/06/2012 22:29

Is he Dale Winton?

FrankieAnne · 19/06/2012 22:29

He does not have disabilities, he just stands weird sometimes and trips up over his own feet when he walks. I don't actually remind him about owl, spiderman and mole as they don't bother us so its not as if I have q go at him constantly

doggiemumma · 19/06/2012 22:30

Did he shout "boom boom aka laka laka boom"?

thepeoplesprincess · 19/06/2012 22:30

Nevermind cuddling groceries in Asda; my nan once fucked herself with a marrow in the middle of Waitrose. Now THAT was awkward.

signet2012 · 19/06/2012 22:30

Does he have little arms? And bandy legs? Or does he just stand with his arms poised funny whilst thrashing his head about? The latter I can understand your frustration. Especially if it was in the frozen aisle. Fwiw. I'd go to morrisons in future night feel less self conscious.

enimmead · 19/06/2012 22:30

Do you think that would have been a better way of putting it in the OP?

Still - an amusing thread.

Cathycomehome · 19/06/2012 22:31

"owl, spiderman and mole" hahahahahaha!

FrankieAnne · 19/06/2012 22:31

Sorry i have to go to bed, I don't feel well and i have to be up at 5am. Sorry this thread has been a bit disjointed, its this daft phone, hard to write on.

doggiemumma · 19/06/2012 22:31

Has mental image of man with clown feet, standing a bit gay with a gimp mask on

enimmead · 19/06/2012 22:32

Owl, spiderman and mole.

I'm dying to know what these are :)
Have you got names for all the ways he behaves?

enimmead · 19/06/2012 22:32

Sorry to tell you it's not the phone.

SPsFanjoHarboursDeadCats · 19/06/2012 22:33
