Then what’s the point of taking it off sat at the table!!
It’s just as daft as me being told I had to take our drinks of the tray the waiter brought over as he couldn’t touch them, who put them on it I asked…..
middle of the lockdown we had a sainsburys delivery, "there are some short date items" he says. Well this pisses the missus off because it's unusual if there aren't short date items from them, and it winds her up, so she's on one straight away.
Which ones?
So he reels off a list of about 7 or 8.
What are the dates? she asks
I don't know he replies.
Fair enough, we'll have a look
"Wait" he says, voice going up an octave, you have to confirm you're accepting them before you touch them because I can't take them back afterwards.
"scuse me?" so he repeats.
Mrs now at defcon 2 and rising
Well can you look and check the dates then please I say, being the diplomat of the household
No he says, I can't touch them, it's against the rules.
so how did all the food get into the basket? she asks
ah the pickers did that wearing gloves, says he
But you've got gloves on (blue latex type not the ones that keep your handies warm), so you can look
yes but no it's against the rules.
Mrs goes to Defcon 3
But we've has Sainsbury deliveries throughout lockdown, no one has mentioned this before says I
Ah but all the other drivers were breaking the rules says he, with a nod and a knowing wink
She hits defcon 5 missing 4 out completely rises to her full height of 5 foot and a bit "well you can take the fucking lot back then you fucking nob head she whispers.
I had no nice tea that night
