Okay, what about you're at the local chicken shop, and a wean comes in asking if you'll buy him some chips and a coke. You originally say no, but then three of his schoolmates come in too and one of them looks like he's holding a sharpened ruler. How many chips do you buy assuming you want to leave the shop?

I don't eat meat. So I wouldn't go to a chicken shop. So none.

Fine, imagine this: you're at the local Nando's getting their veggie supreme for your girl Suze, when a man in a tracksuit comes at you saying that it's his order and that he'll brap you up if you say different. You notice that his hand is down the front of his trousers, and if he's hiding anything there it's either small or non-lethal. Suze is looking at you. What do you do?

As I don't shop at a butcher, my answer is 'none' (/s)

You can find me at the supermarket though

I only visit the kebabi.
So none.

Okay you're at the local kebab shop, and he asks you whether you want it german-wrap style or in a pitta bread, but not once does he call you Boss during the exchange.

Do you take the kebab without leaving, or do you report him to the police for failure of duty?

[โ€“] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Did he add a massive chili on the kebab?

[โ€“] tetris11@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He did, yes, juiciest motherfucker you ever ate

I'd hand him 10 quid, no questions asked
