I Helped An Elderly Gent Yesterday.

[icyfroth]

In the Supermarked. I was doing some fruit and veg shopping and noticed him struggling to open the produce bag. I've struggled with them before so I wondered if I should help him or would he feel I was being patronised.

As I walked past him I jokingly said, "you have to spit on it"! I always wet my thumb and index finger to open the bags.

We laughed and he went pretendy "ptui ptui" on the bag.

I went around and got some tomatoes and deliberated whether I should get the lemons from USA or limes from Aus.

When I looked up he was still patiently struggling with the bag.

I felt bad then about the flippant spit comment and said "can I help you"? He gave me the bag and I showed him how I lick my thumb and finger and the bag opened straight away! (It's not always that easy).

Anyway we had shared another laugh about it and went about our shopping.

I had to get the fruit and veg guy to help me with mine once.

Your opinions have been noted by most here, I for one am glad that it appears to be only you that feels as you do.

Have a nice evening

Well, I for one would not mind catching some of Icys germs. They seem to give her a sense of humour, fairness and honesty.

I need some of the humour.

Icy knows very well what subject she posts about. I am always looking for the next thread she starts. Never a dull moment with Icy.

Kep it up, lovely Lady.

Cheers, Erica

Appraisals??? How much for doing a good deed then? what's your appraisal for that???

Obviously I spelt it wrong silver faun - what's so funny ? I made a spelling mistake ? LMAO

That's not nice icy froth. NOT very charitable of you (but going by your thread - well....., understandable). But I will give you a shout out - Hooray you helped an old person out, good for you, you are an extremely compassionate person, there need to be more people like you in the world! 🙂

Thank you.

For once I agree with you.

I think some are pointing out icy, that you licked your fingers and put them on another persons bag, therefore leaving your saliva on their bag. They could have touched the bit your licked fingers touched, then put their own finger in their mouth for some reason and got your germs (if you had any).

I doubt the bags have germs on them. Ours are on a roll, you rip one off. The next bag will only be touched by the person using it.

Are you for real???? get a life & stop tut tutting everything you come across on here. A bit of dirt would prob do you good.

Next time Icy - do a good deed and leave it at that. I'm sure your a very special kind person - you shouldn't need to persuade others to think that by this thread 🙂

I was pointing out the difference, in a funny way, of appraisals, which you wrote when I think you may have meant reprisals. 

I think you’d be better off gracefully retiring from this thread unless you’d like to entertain us some more.
