I am really strange I hate not being the first person to read a paper/magazine, it is a standing joke in the family!

You always want to read the paper before my mother gets to it, after it is usually screwed into a ball. LOL

I can't stand people in supermarket who 'nick' a couple of grapes to see if they like them ... if they do, they take another bag. (The bags are pre-priced!!)

Or how's this for service:
I motorbike to work but stop in a village (Ongar) to pick up my paper.
This morning the proprietor saw me stop and met me at the door with my paper in his hand.
If I'd been a bit slower I wouldn't even have to have got off the bike except to put it under the seat.

i never take the top paper either lol always one a few papers down

Well what a cheek! I dont buy daily's personally, so would not know. Surely someone in the shop should say something. Or perhaps put up a sign saying there are free newspapers to read at the local library!

I understand about the mauling - you dont know where their hands have been (or rather we know too well where they have!) LOL

Does anyone else get annoyed at the people (usually men) who stand in the newsagents rifling through the newspapers? One this morning, completely blocking the newspaper stand in our local newsagent read the local paper from cover to cover, I watched! And when he had finished, put it back in a terrible state and picked up a Daily paper to buy. They do the same with magazines in Smiths, read them and put them back, do they think it is a free library?
I never take the top paper, I don't want one that has been mauled (& I have watched them lick their fingers to turn the pages too) by somebody else.
