I didn't know there was a system, a correct way to negotiate the aisles.....I thought we were just chucking stuff in the trolly and going home.
It's a bloody minefield.
I said they were yours x
Had a good one today. Apparently I was pushing the trolly the "wrong" way around the supermarket.
Who knew!!!?
We’ve all ‘tried’ to take our good ladies up the wrong aisle Macca, but it normally ends in trouble.

There was me thinking this was a light hearted thread
I hadn’t tuned in for a couple of days, when it had been all amusing anecdotes.

Any of these ring a bell?
Toilet roll about our limit
I don't really bother mentioning much. If I see something that I don't think has been done the way I would do it, I just put it right and go about my day. Seems to work.

Ex-girlfriend tells me I should watch the Inbetweeners as I would find it really funny.
I watch the Inbetweeners with a mate and find it funny, so proceed to tell ex-girlfriend she was right.
She becomes pissed off that I watched it with a mate and not her as she was the one who had told me I would find it funny.

That didn't make you sound dodgy in the slightest. Not at all.
He's a very odd, perpetually angry man, but we do actually have a few mutual (Albion) acquaintances, as it goes.
None of those people actually know me away from the football, or know anything of my home life though, so heaven knows what special insight he thinks he's gleaned, into my relationship with my lovely wife!
Did you check if there was another man in your wardrobe or under the bed ?
Wow. You come across as a decent bloke aswell. Maybe to much Netflix ? If you ever in Brighton pre match i'm happy to meet up for a beer

Cheers, I'm sure I'll be about at some point.
Never anything on Netflix for me to watch, the Mrs watches a bit but the stepdaughter is glued to it. She uses my old PS3 so it looks like I'm online watching it 24/7. I don't watch teenage series, honestly.

Ahh, supermarkets. Always such rich pickings for an argument. Here's one we often like to return to.
We do the self-scan "zap" with the gun. She pushes the trolley and selects the items, while I amble along behind her and zap the barcode of whatever she holds out in front of me. Then she tosses it into the trolley. Except sometimes, she holds the item round the wrong way, with the barcode underneath or somewhere else. Usually this is when she's holding it out looking away from me, perusing the shelves or the next aisle. Obviously I can't zap it, so then she becomes impatient WITH ME.
"Have you done it yet ??"
"No - I can't see the barcode, you're holding it the wrong way"
"Well TAKE IT OFF ME then!"
"Look, can't you just turn it over ?"
"Oh FFS"
Now I know what you're thinking. Why don't I just take the item off her and zap it ? Well, the reason for that is, I am then in danger of falling into the trap of zapping it, but then putting the item "IN THE WRONG PART OF THE TROLLEY" (yes, really), which is a whole new argument to get into. She likes fresh stuff in the little compartment at the front. She'll put washing powder in the childs seat. She'll hang packets off bogroll off the little hook. And then, god help us, there's the various catagories for all the BAGS. Once, I put a can of furniture polish in the "frozen" bag, and nearly lost an eye.
You think this shit should be straightforward with her ? YOU try it.

Quite simple solution...never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever go to a supermarket with your other half.
Never!
