    Arrived at till with:
    1 x Jumbo pack of toilet rolls
    1 x Bottle of Gin
    1 x Mouthwash
    1 x Packet of custard creams.
    So sad. So very sad. Anyone even sadder?

    Our downstairs toilet drain leaked badly on Monday. So I turned up at Tescos 11.30pm - unshaven and smelling a little wearing a dodgy grey mac - buying the following.

    - rubber gloves
    - domestos
    - towels
    - black bin liners
    - mop
    - cheepy sander + saw (I needed them anyway)

    I got some very funny looks at the checkout, didn't really register until I read this thread.

      I don't get it. What is wrong with that.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            I once went through the checkout with just 3 bottles of wine and a packet of headache pills.

            That drew a comment from the checkout operator.

                  Three bottles of wine, pack of condoms, aspirin. Wife says - what'd you buy aspirin for, I haven't got a headache...
