Peter Sellers Moments

She was lurking behind the shampoo aisle

Yesterday, in the supermarket, while daydreaming in front of the pantiliners shelf, a crazy looking, blonde woman around 50, approached me. They always do. "Do you know where they keep the incontinence pads?" she asked.

I showed her. They were hidden away along with the baby toiletries, for some reason. The crazy looking blonde thanked me a million times and hastened to add that she needed them for her mother, not for her.

Another woman, let’s call her auburn lady, not much older than the blonde one, was shopping nearby. As soon as the blonde lady noticed the auburn lady, she grabbed an incontinence pads pack and waving it from the other end of the shampoo section, started shouting at the top of her voice: "Hey lady, you should know. Is this the right one to buy? You are using these, right?"

Whereupon the auburn lady pursed her lips and proceeded to the check out.

    I’ve got no thoughts. Or the thoughts I have I can’t express.
    I can’t believe that happened.

    Do you think the blonde lady already knew the auburn lady, and didn’t like her?

    It sounds like a mean byt satisfying thing to do to someone you don’t like.

    WHat a shame the auburn lady didn’t think of a witty reply…like “have you forgotten again which ones you use?”

  12. Pirate Says:

    prejudice hurts from many angles. This time it shut down ones chance to be funny.

    the auburn lady should have said something along the line of, “be sure you wear on the right end blonde lady”.

    Women can be nasty to each other, it’s a fact. Men don’t bother with this sort of crap.

    Too funny, anyway!

  19. Rositta Says:

    That is just plain sick.. I’m in my late sixties and buy incontinence pads all the time for my Mom who is 84. I just simply don’t worry about what people will think, whether their for me…who cares. What’s more important to me is getting my home home from hospital…ciao
