Just wait until someone isn't looking and whip it out of their trolley into yours.

Or if someone has really annoyed you, add things to their trolley.

When I worked at Asda some customers who got annoyed at others who deliberately wouldn't get out of the way used to secretly drop pregnancy kits in to their trolley or basket.

Now I'm not saying I think it's a good idea - but I understand

Christ, is a bit of turkey REALLY that important to women? I'm getting my shopping delivered this year I think.

My moan is those who mess about with computers needing to reinstall the whole thing again. Yes, me in this case. Tried to remove a partition and totally botched it somehow. The air was several shades of blue. Only got my printer to install and I am back pretty much where I was. Luckily now I keep everything important on the external HD and the smaller stuff on various cloud sites. Phew.

Sadly Mark to some it is as I have witnessed this first hand when working on the floor and at the checkouts believe me seeing is believing.

Hehe, it doesn't just go out of the window, it's thrown mercilessly, kicking and screaming.

My mate did that once, it was an old frail lady, who got to the till with half a dozen pregnancy testing kits.

My goodness, I'm snippy today, I must need chocolate as my hormones are not to blame at the mo.

I had almost the opposite once. In sainsburys, I was looking at some food. A woman walked right up to me, said "Excuse Me" loudly, then waited for me to move out of the way. She totally ignored the 4 feet of space between me and the shelf behind me.

Didn't even know the pothole was there until I was flat on my face. What made it worse was it was so dark I didn't even notice the blood until I got to a lamp post a few hundred yards down the road. That's when I realised it was probably best if I made my way back. My main concern was how I'd get the blood stains out of my sock and Asics....the pain I can deal with later

Had a call on the home phone this morning from a guy asking for Wayne someone or other. Told him he'd got the wrong number so he demanded to know my name etc, but Mrs G's told me I'm not allowed to give my details to strangers so told him to go whistle. He then just lost it, but he was using so many expletives I couldn't help but start laughing. The more I laughed the more crazed he got!!

When he'd put the phone down I thought I'd try and call him back - and low and behold he answered - and off he went again. This time however he's threatening to come round my house with 'his boys' and cut me in to little bits, and that I'm stupid for crossing him.

Now I'm not too worried myself as we've had many calls over the years asking for Wayne, and I know these companies have got an address on the other side of town from us, and he even said we'll be round there later to 'sort me out', and told me the road name. Should I make the guys day and report him (and if so to who)? I doubt very much he would but if they did come and chop Wayne (or whoever lives at the address) in to little bits I'd feel pretty guilty!!

I've got the rest of the day free so I'm so tempted to keep ringing him and see how mad I can get him, or should I just have a snooze on the sofa as I'd planned.

Cheers

Grim

I keep some uncancelled anti-theft tags in a metal wallet and add one to their shopping...

My moan: Why is west Penwith without any 3G. It's not like there's no people living here or tourists. Only Penzance has 3G. Everywhere else is 2G/GPRS and it's painfully slow even if you can get a stable connection.

Received an email today in French

it was not till I opened it that I realized that it was phishing, as I thought it was from Amazon. I have reported it it to Amazon and forwarded it onto them at their request.
Did a scan, changed password on Amazon just to be on the safe side and will be watching bank, Amazon etc closely for the next couple of weeks for anything unusual.
Just posted this to warn other CF members of these emails. If you receive any suspicious emails from Amazon do not open them forward them to stop-spoofing@amazon.com then delete them please do not do what I did.

I am feeling very foolish for opening that email.

Thanks for the warning weenie. Be vigilant but don't beat yourself up. <<hugs>>
