Tuesday people

[claidheamhmor]

My sister introduced me to the term "Tuesday people" the other day; she created it.

You know when you're in a shopping mall, and you're walking along, there are people dawdling in front of you (I call them "mobile bollards"), people standing in entrances chatting while blocking everyone else, people who seem startled to discover they need to get their purses out when they're at the tills, people who stop suddenly because they saw something colourful, and people who wander about and can't seem to decide where they're going? Those people all need to be allocated a single day of the week on which they can go to shopping malls so that they don't get in the way of everyone else. Their day should be Tuesday, thus people with that behaviour are "Tuesday people".

You're now permitted to do your shopping on Tuesdays. :)

"ME, pick me". I am SO a Tuesday person.
My son says that I get side-tracked by anything shiny, and stop, and people bump into me!

No, didn't even know that there was/is a show of that name. The name just rang true. How many of us thought that we would NEVER be Suburban like our parents when we grew up, but sophisticated and fabulous and be in the movies and famous and thin and wear gorgeous clothes and only know the wittiest people.

Now I am grown up I have the "full catastrophy" of suburban bliss..... and wouldn't change it for the world!

Oh, really. I hadn't realised. Wait. Didn't it star Elize Cawood as an interfering woman next door. I may have seen an episode or two but don't think, even subliminally, that my chosen name is related. I will certainly google the show to refresh my memory.

I totally loved Suburban Bliss as well!

We have that day here. It's Thursday at the local grocery store - Senior Citizens' Day. And I can say that because I *am* one. :D

I agree!

Hey... isn't Tuesday pensioner's day at most shops? Would work perfectly for them too!

Heh, when I started reading the post I thought you were going to say that Tuesday people are people that only go shopping on Tues because they barely do anything on Monday (just recovering from the weekend). And when they do manage to drag their zonked out asses to the shops they make it a whole day event and so do it very slowly.

A recent suggestion on The BBC - Radio 4, in fact - was to place a timer-controlled, pressure-sensitive trapdoor at the top of public escalators and stairways. In these days of cost cutting and economy Tuesday People is cheaper, I suppose, and could run to spin-off TV series to beat 'America's funniest home videos' or almost any of those 'cam in the car' cop reality series.
I like it. :-)

"Mobile bollards", GOD YES!

[claidheamhmor]

I've taken to being pretty good at not giving way. I walk, and my size and demeanour can be quite good at moving mobile bollards out of the way. Those that see me, at least...

I once told Ereneth that when I'm old and decrepit (poss next year), I want a wheelchair and a walking stick, so that I can ride into people and lash out at them.
