Do you get self conscious buying potatoes at the supermarket?

Well?

PirateShampoo · 02-06-2015 7:38am

Yeah, I can't help but think how much better looking they are than me.

blinding · 02-06-2015 7:38am

I do yeah ! But I am actually a potato myself.

I kind of feel dirty like a slave turned slave master.

Not sure I understand. Are you planning to do something naughty with/to them and you fear your intention is visible to others?

Grayson · 02-06-2015 7:48am

maybe he's stoned. They're all looking at me!

Buona Fortuna · 02-06-2015 7:49am

Only if I've forgotten to dress properly.

Menas · 02-06-2015 7:52am

Only if buying old potatoes after the new ones have come out. Hate been behind the times.

Rubberchikken · 02-06-2015 7:54am

why just potatoes? how about cucumber:eek:

02-06-2015 7:55am

I grow my own - so I remain oblivious to the shame involved in buying them - perhaps the OP can enlighten me.

fizzypish · 02-06-2015 7:55am

Only if I was getting a big sack of them and had to throw em over the shoulder carrying them out. Wouldn't be self conscious though, I'd be right pleased with myself after showing off my man muscles to all the underage checkout girls.

I tend to strip to the waist and sling the bag around manfully while striding to the tills. I then grab the most attractive till girl by the hair and drag her home to be my mistress/potato cooker for the evening. Alpha potato buying 101.

Did you forget to log in as Aongus Von B this morning?

Also, no OP. I'm grand at buying potatoes, it's cucumbers I cant buy.

Think this is the "I am not going to understand anything said here" thread for the month

We used to at home too but we've some kind of a cunty worm in the soil that destroys the spuds. Half of them are rotten when dug up. Kinda heart breaking when we had to dig the drills by hand. I miss having calluses on my hands......

Yea my dad had a plot in a local park and he lost 80% of his to something similar. So far I have been lucky. I have tried about 20 different "old wives tale" kind of solutions to avoid it - so perhaps I got lucky - or perhaps one of them actually works - I will never know probably

But everything from what you grow beside them - to rotating the potato types and positions each time you plant - to sprinkling this that or the other on the area - to how long you let them sit growing roots before you plant them in the ground - and so forth. I have tried loads of things.

OMG, I would totes not be seen buying potatoes. Imagine what a boghead I would look like if anyone seen me buying them.

padd b1975 · 02-06-2015 8:19am

No.

Forest Demon · 02-06-2015 8:21am

I know what you mean OP. Would you consider a different form of contraception?

blinding · 02-06-2015 8:24am

I am not too bad when I have remembered to put my clothes on !

A potato was out on his mother bike one day and was involved in crash, his parents Mr and Mrs potato were called in to the hospital the doctor said I have good news and bad news, we managed to save his eyes and he wasn't burned to a crisp but unfortunately he will be left a vegetable.
