[Misc] Which part of the supermarket do you NEVER visit

[Lord Bracknell]

That's my childhood right there. Tinned peaches (in syrup, not fruit juice), pears, pineapple rings, mandarin segments and even strawberries.

I wonder if this was priming me for a life of cider drinking?

Wot? No canned chicken?

6 or 7 years back a student Clinical Psychologist, with whom I had 12 sessions, challenged me to tackle a tad of social anxiety by buying the items in Tesco that I would feel embarrassed to purchase, and then carry this basket to the busiest checkout to have the employee and those behind me in the queue stare judgmentally at my budget turkey mince, my white-wrapper biscuits, my multipack of panty liners, my TV Weekly, my family-sized tin of beans, my mini dog biscuits - I think I was mostly concerned about being seen as a truly lonely portly pervert on benefits on a petfood and fart-inducing diet. So, I sort of went to every aisle that day. Or the ones I normally wouldn't go down.
In general, though, I think I steer clear of the petfood aisle and the one with multipacks of crisps and fizzy pop.

Sounds like you suffer from elitism rather than social anxiety. Nothing to worry about just stay with the Guardian readersheep.

Yes. They are a big secret though, only in Tesco's, the Extra's. At least 10 halves in a packet ( 500 grms) all skinned and ready to chuck on defrost in the micro wave. This has been discussed on here, whether to micro defrost or let them defrost naturally. They stay a bit drier and easier to handle micro defrost for just a short time and then turned over for best results. All for about £2.89. I guess this doesn't happen in Germany.

Every day is a school day I guess. I've genuinely never heard of frozen avocados before either in the uk or here.

I can see the whole psychological factor in this, such as confronting your fears, realising that much like ridicule it's nothing to be scared of, etc, but I do hope you didn't actually have to buy these items?

Only I call that wasting good brass on $hite that you're never going to use.

Price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. I repeat: price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. That's Vagiclean. We've got a customer down here with a full-on fallopian fungus. She's baking a loaf of bread and I think it's sourdough.

that's so funny, thank God I'm home alone at work today

I bought the goods at lunchtime, and brought the bulging bag to see who fancied what. It was only the panty liners I couldn't get rid of.

I think it might have been, really, a fear of being seen as anything at all, of being labeled or even noticed. I would likely have chosen ludicrously expensive goods, if the psychologist had handed me about £300 to go around the shop and buy 9 items with.

Petfood. In nearly 40 years of married life and with two daughters have never had a pet of any kind.

Very occasionally have looked after other people's dogs, but no more.

Never look at the newspaper/magazine section. Have our paper delivered from the local newsagent.

And give the cake aisle a miss. It's just straightforward bread or nothing.

I never, do not go to the knock down section

Yes, I can imagine you walking up to a random lady, proferring the feminine hygeine aids and saying "I've bought these and suddenly realised I don't need them at all, so I'm offering them to you as a heartfelt gift..."

Now that would confront your fears.

Ah. It was a direct quote from Me Myself & Irene. That was Jim Carrey as he had a breakdown. Very funny.
