Supermarket Today

[Caran]

I spotted a man looking on lower shelf at reduced goods. Never seen such a builders bum!
It wasn't just the top half it was all of it!
I had to say something to him, it was not a pretty sight. He was most surprised as he said he had a belt on.
It was so bad he could have got done for flashing.
What would you have done?

[tonyav]

LOL, well they need a bike rack somewhere Caran ;-)

[Caran]

tonyav your LOL looked just like it!!!

[Jackdaw33]

Picked a mouldy carrot and shoved it up.

[Caran]

ooooh!

[1ozzy]

Asked him if buns were on special today.

[tonyav]

Caran if you had been anywhere near the freezer you could have accidently dropped a box of fish fingers down the back of his trousers.

[Caran]

Nice one tonyav!

You've really made me laugh Caran! What exactly did you say to him? Was he embarrassed? Well he jolly well should be! I had a gas fitter came to mend the wall gas fire once who was crawling round in the hall like that. OH and I couldn't stop laughing and had to shut the kitchen door!

[Caran]

I just said you shouldn't be bending over like that. That's the best example of builders bum I've seen. He looked taken aback and said I have a belt on. I said it's not doing any good because all of your backside is open to view.

[Jackdaw33]

Not a lot of people know this but among the ancient Greeks the traditional punishment for a male adulterer was, as the Victorians so coyly put it, 'to have a radish thrust up the fundament'. Bet that brought tears to the eyes!!

[B00]

I wouldn't have pointed it out no- as ugly a sight as it might have been for you, it wasn't your place to tell him so, nor was it any of your business to tell him how to dress.

[ummmm]

I'm of the same opinion as B00. Why go out of your way to embarrass another person in public?

[mikey4444]

From what Caran has said, its seems to me that the chap was dressed inappropriately for the location. I can't see much harm in gently reminding him. What if young children were present ?

[B00]

They see half a bare bum, possibly, if they were even on the same aisle mikey. They can watch telly and see newspapers showing more, hardly going to scar them is it?

[ummmm]

What, Mikey? You think young children have never seen a bum? They'd probably giggle about it.

[Pete65]

A very rude and ill mannered thing you did.

[aelmpvw]

there's never a daffodil handy when you need one is there?

[naomi24]

I would have laughed - and I think children would laugh too. They find bottoms funny.

[Peter Pedant]

and breast feeding in public
you wade in there as well ? C

anyway I am sure he chose well - to feed that bum of his ....

[Mosaic]

The poor chap has lacked guidance and a firm hand in his choice of clothing, posture and diet. I have kindly provided this guidance and firmness for OH whose physique makes a mile of bumcrack an occupational hazard. Correctly fitting trousers with a good rise, braces, and long shirts. Caran, you should have gently but firmly taken him under your wing, guided him to the clothing section, and detained him there until correctly attired.
