when will I stop judging a book by its cover?!!

[Coddy]

Long q at tesco (grr) today and there was a bloke in front of me who looked like Rick wakeman prog rock type.
He had a normal looking wife and baby and was buying the most enormous amount of health food
33 soya milks
`13 bags of monkey nuts
24 bags of couscous

etc tec

SO there I was making all my judgements about him (hippy vegan organic schmanic)when he gave me his Teco clubcards points and his pcs for schools vouchers.

He spent 264 quid!!

I am going to be the darling of ds1's schools Head!! Mega MUm

But when will I learn?!!

I don't think anyone could say that they have never judged a book by it's cover Coddy
I know i have

But I am 34....well, almost.

Sounds to me like they know something we don't - stockpiling couscous. Very worrying.

Ooo Coddy I'm just the same and hate myself for it. Think supermarkets are ripe ground for it...........

he was a bit smelly tbh

I must say I wlaways look in overwight peoples trollies.
iam a cow

I think it's only human nature to size people up a bit, how else are you going to spot the dangerous ones? The important thing is to try to give them benefit of the doubt, too.

I love to see what students' buy (seriously lots of cheap beer). And what most mums buy (all the convenience junk food stuff). And the little old dears (Tescos blue and red stripes, with one green pepper and a single carrot).
Oh dear, echos of the "What are you a snob about?" thread coming back to haunt me.

ooh i hate students...

One of my dearest friends tells me when she came for an interview at the office where I had my first job she saw me and thought "snotty cow". After some time she realised I wasn't - I think!

When she told me this I was working at a different firm so I asked a couple of my friends if they thought I was snotty (I was horrified she thought this). They too admitted they thought I was stuck up in the beginning. So it would appear I give off a "snotty" image which is sooooo not me.

i always thought i ewas sympatetic until the whol staffroom rounded on me and wet themselves at the mere thought!

i now know i am not..

I went to Asda on Saturday for the first time and I couldn't resist having a good old nosey at the contents of other people's trolleys. I am such an inquisitive old hag.

here it is

dinosaur - loads of dodgy meat pies?

Ah well I was on the receiving end of judgment today. A screaming ds1 in Tesco's. Rather a big boy (and very loud) to be screaming his head off. Especially when it was just t look at a sink or a door, or becuase we had to queue. Very big boy to be sat in a trolley as well. Ds2 joined in for good measure when I took his Thomas yoghurts off him to pay for them. There was quite a chorus of disapproval and tut tuts. Ah well at least he only hit himself, and not ds2 (the tut tuts reach a crescendo by that stage). m

I would have been quite happy judging other people's and clothing, or even their screaming kids (pot calling the kettle black and all that)shopping but I was doing my best to avoid all eye contact with anyone.

Bollox thinking about it I think I forgot my cashback. Buggeration.
