When mixing batter for Toad in the Hole or somesuch..throw in a handful of dried stuffing mix. It rises nicely to the top and gives a crunchy crust.  |

When cleaning your cheese grater - use a nail brush - it saves on grated skin.

When going shopping, take a child to push the trolley and pack the bags.
This may cost a bag of sweets or a 4 pack...either way, well worth it.
;D

In supermarkets...make sure you take an elderly relative to leave in the middle of an aisle whilst you fetch the bread from the opposite end of the store...a surefire way to piss off any other shopper.

..and try to appear shorter or the whole world wants you to get THEIR shopping too! That is most true - in the UK at least, I've not had that here  |

Though not a giant, I do a lot of other people's shopping. I don't mind at all for the elderly or the genuinely short but I object strongly to the ones that go round in the stores scooters because they're just too fat too walk.

I'm vertically challenged too, 5' 3" and only ever ask young/ish handsome men to reach for stuff that's out of reach, then when theyve gone out of sight I leave the item behind..I didn't really want it i just wanted the man to feel helpful.

This is acceptable. I have been known to lose control of a wayward trolley in the path of a distinguished gent... Usually to find that his wife has told him to wait there while she fetches the bread....  |

I was doing really well in a bout of trolly flirting once...until my eldest daughter came upon me. She said in a really loud voice "Oh, there you are mother..come on, I promised I'd have you back at the care home for 6, just in time for tea" Grrrrrr.

She said in a really loud voice "Oh, there you are mother..come on, I promised I'd have you back at the care home for 6, just in time for tea" Grrrrrr. She's a good girl and I hear her pain  . I have had to deter people from my mother too. There was a guy once rolled his trolley up to my mother at the bread counter where she was having a little cough. He said 'you should rub some Vicks on your chest'. Then he said 'hi, I'm Vic by the way'. Another time a gentleman followed my mother around a house and gardens we were visiting. I kept making reference to her grandmother status but he latched on to her something rotten, evn abandoning his dear old Ma on a bench to rest while he escorted my dear young Ma across to the shrubbery. Luckily I caught them just in time. True stories. These men are a menace! |
