I was next to a student in supermarket and I was buying...

4 bottles of wine and an advent calendar for cats

Can anyone top that?

a supermarket

Was the wine to share with the cats?

I ran into a boy I tutored while buying underwear. I was holding a very nice bra and three very small and lacy pairs of knickers.

Well if they aren’t sharing the advent calendar, why should the op share the wine?!

A massive bottle of vodka and a bra.. the parent laughed and said "oh I hope he didn't make you want the vodka".

@ohwheniknow 1 cat. And no.

I buy some crap on my trips but what is the relevance of the student? I was in Asda next to three students who were arguing about whether to buy tuna or not. I was amused that the boys were thinking tuna as in a tin of John West and the girl had only ever come across tuna loin.

I was doing a full shop BTW so they weren’t interested in my Daz and Yankee candle melts.

I was on my hands and knees reaching the last 3 bottles of my favourite wine from the back of the bottom shelf in Sainsbury’s.
When I stood up was face to face with my class governor who was next to my trolley that only had pizza and crisps in 🙈

@PlumsGalore it's is The Staffroom, so a student at your school/institution.

Not a random uni student

Many years ago, I was at he check out in Asda when I heard a little voice behind me...'Hello Mrs T...….' and I was buying a white sliced loaf, large bar of chocolate and a bottle of tequila. Child noticed nothing (apart from her class teacher didn't actually live at school), but Mum definitely gave me 'a look'!

I bumped in to my kids' principal in the shoe shop when I was buying school shoes. They cost me a gazillion pounds so I had a nice chat with him about the uniform policy as we queued next to each other

People really ought to check which board they're on 🤦🏻‍♀️

I once went to donate blood and the person taking the blood was one of my former students - her younger sister was still in the school although not in my class. I had to hand her a form with answers to questions such as, “have you ever injected drugs?” “Have you ever accepted money for sex?” “Have you had sex with a man who has had sex with a man?” etc. It was pretty embarrassing!

About 10 years ago I was in our local Tesco express, and a shelf of newly stocked red wine collapsed. All the bottles smashed (no one hurt). Wine everywhere.

I looked up straight into the eyes of my DS2 (8)'s teacher, a fun middle aged bloke- who said 'Quick! Grab straws!' 😂😂😂

I was at a music festival one summer with DH, having a good old boogie in the old school house music tent with lots of fellow ‘mature’ ravers.

Wasn’t expecting to bump in to six scantily clad and clearly intoxicated girls who’d just left the sixth form that summer.

They all wanted to give me a hug and there was a lot of drunken ‘I bloody love you, Miss!’, ‘Miss, you’re a legend!’ etc. I drew the line at them taking selfies with me, though....

@FrogCat being drunk is the stuff of nightmares.

I was swimming in our local pool last summer, we had to evacuate and stand pool side. I was in my bikini next to a group of Y5s.

A previous colleague of mine was waiting for her smear test when she was asked if a student nurse could attend. Of course she said yes and then heard 'Mrs Smith it's been years!' To be faced by a girl she had taught in year 2!

I staggered into McDonald’s late one evening slightly worse for wear to find one of my students serving me.

I went to pay for a bra and knickers at a shop in town. The cashier was a 29 year old lad who I taught at the time. I think he found it a little awkward but he was very professional really.

I used to teach at a highschool in a remote Japanese town where I was the only non Japanese resident. I had a flat provided by school about 100 meters from the school.

My students used to follow me around the only small supermarket in the town, and then tell me next lesson what I'd bought...

Oh and I once gave a ridiculous fake name in Starbucks to the server and when the person who was making the drinks finished and turned round and shouted my fake name I realised it was a student. Who obviously knew that wasn’t my name!

When I was much younger, a male student saw me in the supermarket. He looked in my basket, smiled, and told me to enjoy my evening. I had super plus tampons, a bottle of wine, and a large bar of chocolate.

Many decades ago, a Saturday, in Waitrose. One of my pupils, let's call him Charlie (because that was his name) pointed into my trolley, to the pack of toilet rolls within and laughed like a drain! Imagine, a teacher needing to use a loo!
Of course, being a Charlie, he had forgotten all about it by Monday.

Ah I think people mean school pupils rather than university students. When did people start calling chidren students then? It sounds wrong to me.

Oooh - and I was once a guest at an Anne Summers party, hosted by a colleague. The 'demonstrator' was an ex pupil at our school. Luckily she didn't know me but she certainly remembered some of the other teachers at the party!
