Shower Gel for 9p

lofty_2

These senior citizens are getting a bit cheaky I think. one old dear was giving someone a lecture for not letting her at the front of the bus queue. she just walked up expecting to get on 1st. I know its good maners but thats all maners not "the law" as she had assumed.

In the muggers defence I was once in a supermarket and stopped to look in what i presumed was a basket of special offers until my daughter pointed out that I was actually looking in someone elses trolley:eek:

LOL! I've been collared pushing someone elses trolley round Asda too by mistake!

Have you seen some of these old biddies in the Post Office queues? Pop in now and again to post some ebay packages n stuff, my God they don't like that! Had a couple the other day huffing and puffing and staring daggers behind me because I was at the counter for more than my allowed 2 minutes. Suppose its Ok for them to stand there for ages moaning on about the youth of today, how great the war and rickets were etc??

BTW Thanks OP picked up some shower gel yesterday marked 23p on the bottle, scanned at 9p :T

TBH I probably would have let him have the turkey. He was an old man. Can we have some respect please. I know that some play on being old and don't deserve it, but i was raised to respect my elders . As far as the bargains are concerned - some of them are on seriously small amounts of money -admittedly they should have made provision for their old age. Old age will happen to you if you are lucky enough - so make sure that you are not in penury.

Are you serious? You think the old man deserves respect?
If a man started hitting me with his walking stick in the middle of asda, there's noooo way he would get my respect: i'd be more tempted to take his stick and wrap it round his neck: and i'd keep hold of that turkey simply out of principal.

If he's old then he should know better.
If he's demented then he should be with a carer.
As for being poor, don't presume! A lot of old people have massive amounts of money and never spend any of it: they've saved all their life for a rainy day which has never come and now they're too old (or unwilling or set in their ways) to go out and spend it.

They want equality when it suits them and they also want special treatment when it suits them. Tough luck.

Yes, my postage total usually comes to £30+ and they probably make far more profit from that than dishing out a pension, so I feel quite entitled to be there! If anybody muttered to me I would say that if it wasn't for people using the post office for postal things they wouldn't be around to dish out pensions.

Wow, at least someone is keeping on topic Glad to be of help

I didn't want to start a Bargain Hunters War.
As I said in my Opening aside, I was quite happy with the bargins I did manage to take home, and I try never to judge others ( not always easy) as you never know other peoples situation. Just hope I'm never in such straights that I have to resort to whipping things out of other peoples trollies.

Not naming any names or age groups......
I would not take offence if I was ASKED if someone could go in front of me at PO or checkout, if I have a load of stuff, and they only want their pension/benefit/a stamp or pint of milk. What annoys me is the assumption that some people have that they have a God-given-right to push in front, and that I have all the time in the world to spending queuing, whilst their time is more precious than mine.

Life is too short to let it stress me though. I have more important things to worry about

Before Xmas in Asda I was looking at the meats and on the phone to hubby at the same time. Big mistake. I put a steak in my basket and walked to the checkout only to find no steak. I can only think that I dropped it into someone elses trolley/basket by mistake and not mine. I just hope that whoever had it wasn't a veggie, lol. That would be too awful.

They had also sold out of steak when I went back so sausgaes for me that night, lol.

Anyway the shower gel was 9p in our local today too so got a couple.
