Everyday scummy behaviour

[ICTChris]

Walmart own Asda and there are quite a few Asda stores here with a McDonalds in them, including the Halbeath Asda.

Chesser Asda near me has one. Literally every time I’m in that shop you see several families of complete stereotypical fat mouth breathing tracksuit-and-Old Firm top wearing dregs stumbling through the aisles, piling processed crap into their trolley, calling their kids c***s as they go.

Swearing at your children. I accept that people might lose it and use language they regret once in a while but routinely swearing at or around children is horrible. Supermarkets are my primary exposure to this.

A friend of mine worked in the Scot-Mid on Easter Road and once saw a couple with a toddler come in. The toddler was crying and holding his mums hand when the dad said to the mum loudly “shut that c**t up!” referring to his crying child. I’ve heard kids in parks told or shut the f**k up or called c***s by parents. The famous “DISGUSTING” viral clip features a woman swearing at her children. Clearly a lot of people (most people?) think it’s fine to do this, maybe I’m out of touch?

I only swear when I go full pelt psycho mum at them. When I swear they know I’m serious (or need sectioning!)

Any Walmart here is equally bad. Consider that they’re also about 10 times as big and full of Americans.....

They'd need to be 10 times as big to accommodate Americans...

Have to admit I've lost it a couple of times in lockdown and swore at my eldest. She started getting up at stupid O'clock in the morning and randomly coming into the room. She isn't quiet either and with the 6 month old right next door, combined with her startling me awake I have regrettably whispered "will you shut the f**k up before you wake your sister up". The next day I feel absolutely awful. I think it's just somw kind of horrible reaction to make sure she quietens down. I've never swore at her any other time. I try not to even swear around her tbh.

On the subject though: years ago I was walking behind a woman and a kid (around 4/5 years old). The wee lassie was yapping like mad and being a typical hyper youngster. She asked some question that I forget but it started with "Nana, how about I...", to which the nana responded "How about I punch you in the fucking head?!". The saddest thing(s) about this was A) A Nana/Gran should be the nicest person in the world to you and this one was clearly an arsehole and sadder still B) The wee lassie never reacted at all to this. She just kept on with her behaviour which made me think the old bitch must speak to her like that all the time

This seemed to absolutely skyrocket here during the lockdown.  The streets were dead but you still saw adults cycling on the pavements like it was totally normal behaviour.  Weird thing to do for anyone over the age of 12.  It's illegal as well I think.

I dropped my girlfriend off at work this morning. Witnessed a man cycling down the pavement before turning the wrong way down a one way road and cycling down the middle of it onto oncoming traffic.

Just the sort of person you’d see on Facebook complaining if he was involved in an accident though.

Maybe he'll write a song about the experience and go on to be a star.

Only if he wasn't killed...

Some good news from the influx?

Not following the one way systems in the pub, to get to the toilets.

Cheers for walking past me twice as it’s slightly quicker.

Up the wrong dreel anyway, as it's clearly marked "crackers". 

Don't they do shite tasting American confectionery over there? 

Swift edit: "Crackers" being a racist term over there was not my intended point

I've only ever been to Asda Clydebank but the food bit is basically a huge off licence with a small section for groceries.

10 aisles of booze, crisps and sweets and half an aisle of fruit and vegetables.

Let's not forget the make-your-own pizza bit, the one area in which ASDA (somewhat unexpectedly) excels.

As in you’ve used social media to stir up others, or have actively gone out onto estates to destroy traps etc?

Either way, well done.

This for sure.

When I was regularly commuting by train to Ayr it was horrific in the summer months. Kids routinely being called every swear word imaginable and perhaps even worse the family groups where the kids would routinely swear themselves in a normal every day conversation and the parents wouldn't bat an eyelid. Clearly ingrained from a very early age.

As an aside I once saw a "father" launch a tirade at a wee boy aged about 8 in Gran Canaria (English though) which resulted in another guy challenging him about his behaviour. This inevitably lead to a fight in front of the now hysterical kid and what did the mother do ? Started screaming at "her man" to kick his head in while setting about the guys partner. It was stopped by taxi drivers who had stopped and within a minute police were on the scene. It was shocking stuff.

Supply and demand. Bankies don't want that healthy stuff.
