PSA. Women, when shopping with MIL

[AnaheimGirl]

make sure your jeans aren't so low that your thong shows.

I just saw the funniest thing in the grocery store. I kept running into this 40ish woman who was with a woman about 65ish. The younger one kept calling her "mom", but it didn't sound natural, plus she obviously didn't know her real well, because she kept asking questions like "do you and dad like apples/cheese cake/Cheerios?" Anyway, I figure it had to be her MIL.

So I end up behind them in the checkout line. Younger woman squats down to get something out of the bottom of her cart. Low-rise jeans slide down a bit and sticking out over the top is her black lace thong! After hearing a small gasp, I look over at the MIL, who is staring right at said thong, covering her mouth with her hand, eyes popping out of her head kind of like this Younger woman was oblivious to the whole thing.

It took all my strength not to bust out laughing. Wonder how MIL is going to like staying with the kids this holiday weekend?!

So, what's the funniest thing you've seen out shopping lately?

i had a patient in my office wearing a thong and not only was I surprised that this particular person was wearing one but also what it said:

"You can ring my bell" ---- and then it had the tiniest bell in a not very comfortable place

Hard to forget that image!

OMG...

The funniest thing I've run into at a grocery store lately was a teacher from my school. I was shopping with DS and DH and she was with her DH.She glanced at me and couldn't decide if it was me or not. Then she said to me.."Oh..so THAT"S what you look like out of uniform!" I just about died.
I was kind of like 'Yeah..I don't wear scrubs all the time!" Though they are quite comfy. Not to mention wicked stylish.

Thanks for this thread, I needed a giggle. I haven't seen anything funny out shopping sadly. Just crabby people and long check out lines.

That's funny!

One time I was at Penney's and saw a mom explain to her son and daughter what thong underwear were. They were preteen age--if I tried to explain that to my 12yo he would die of embarrassment!

Today in the grocery checkout lane someone in front of me was buying one of the stalks of brussel sprouts--I guess that's the new thing. And older lady was in back of me in line and saw the "natural" looking brussel sprouts and commented to her grown DD about the brussel sprouts--she'd obviously never seen them being sold like that. She then said, "wow, I guess that's how they grow". Um, you think so? You don't think they just glue them on that trunk looking thing? She must have realized how silly that sounded, especially with me laughing and commented that she thought they grew in the little plastic containers with lids.

I have actually purchased thongs when I was out shopping with MIL and SIL. She wasn't shocked. SIL is 3 years younger than me.
