A woman just walked past my house with a Kermit the Frog rucksack. It was Kermit shaped, with dangly arms and legs. A grown woman!

That is terrible!

Surely you would have been well within your rights to make a citizen's arrest?

Ecmo · 23/06/2008 21:53

perhaps she was working for the Men in Black and it was actually a captured alien.

perhaps I watch too much telly

nobodysfool · 23/06/2008 21:53

Make her come in and sit half way up the stairs.

notnowbernard · 23/06/2008 21:53

Acid Casualty?

On her way to Glastonbury?

controlfreakyagain · 23/06/2008 21:54

aaaaagh. how absolutely ghastly. i sat opposite a 40 something woman on the bus today.... she had a white jacket with large embroidered pastel teddy bears on the pockets and across the back.... bleugh.

IAteRosemaryConleyForBreakfast · 23/06/2008 21:58

It was all I could do to stop myself running out into the street and hurling a sack over her for her own protection.

Then I realised I was wearing a vomit-stained polo shirt, torn cords and Crocs . Couldn't leave the house.

How would you have felt about a Star Wars Ewok bag in authentic fur?

Bundle · 25/06/2008 16:20

was she hurting anyone?

hardly a fashion felony...

controlfreakyagain · 25/06/2008 19:56

you are WRONG. schedule 1 offence imo.

IAteRosemaryConleyForBreakfast · 26/06/2008 13:45

"Hardly a fashon felony" .... ?!

What on earth do you have to do to commit a fashion felony then?

Or is that croc-wearing ...

My ex boss used to use a shaun the sheep one.

SHe dressed it according to the weather.

She wore disney clothing.

She boasted about shouting down a train at someone else with the same rucksack "look that sheep is naked!".

She wondered why I didn't massively respect her....

lljkk · 26/06/2008 14:07

I'd like a Shaun the Sheep one, that would be way cool.

DrNortherner · 26/06/2008 14:08

A woman I work with has a bag puss one. Purlease.

Just as bad as men in disny ties. Yuk.

MrsDanvers · 26/06/2008 19:09

Perhaps she was a princess and it/he is her future husband??

SheherazadetheGoat · 26/06/2008 19:11

god i hate kidults. i bet she has cuddly toys in her car

MisConDuct · 26/06/2008 19:14

Perhaps it was her childs. Or is that just too logical

greenelizabeth · 26/06/2008 19:17

Kidults! Love that. Yeah, kermit bag shite on an adult.

Perhaps she was taking it to her sick daughter who was in hospital and had opened her eyes just long enough to say Mummy I want my kermit bag.

IAteRosemaryConleyForBreakfast · 26/06/2008 19:44

She was with a man, no kids to be seen (and we're miles from a hospital, whoever it was trying to make me feel guilty ). I didn't get a chance to check his tie but I'd put money on his boxers having a faded "D'oh!" somewhere on them.

You were wearing Crocs and you're commenting on someone else's satorial style....
Pot, kettle, black

IAteRosemaryConleyForBreakfast · 26/06/2008 19:50

Yeah, but I don't have any of those twee little plastic flowers for sticking in the holes!

I bet she had a navy blue velour tracksuit on with a winnie the pooh motif on the breast. It should not be allowed.
