Spotted in London: Someone’s Hungry!

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

Spotted in London is a new series where I post about the strange, quirky, and sometimes funny things that I encounter as I make my way around London.  Enjoy!

Something ain’t right here.  I spotted the above in my local Tesco supermarket here in London.  Can you tell me what’s wrong?
 



Somebody took a bite out of the bagel and left it in the store. 

The bagel cost 42 pence.

I’ve seen some pretty crazy things during my short time in London, but this one here had me scratching my head in puzzlement and incredulity.  Somebody took a bite out a bagel whilst in the supermarket and left it to languish alongside its uneaten brethren.  This somebody must have been really hungry. And pretty hard up for cash…?

I am flabbergasted, astonished, and speechless.

Who do you think is the culprit?  Have you ever encountered something this ridiculous?

  • I'm crossing my fingers that it was just some kid who thought it would be cute to take a bite out of it and run.

    I once stuck my tongue on the freezer in a supermarket as a dare from my cousin when I was younger, my tongue burned for days! lol

  • HAHAHAHA! Never have I seen such or thing. And if I have, I probably ignored it thinking it was a transient/homeless person or someone who had no home training. Good stuff.

  • oh yes. a pram too close to the bagel shelf and hop, a small fist pops out to take a bite! Mum probably didn't even notice, even after they put it back!

  • LOL this proper tickled me!!! Just testing it to see whether they fancied a plain or poppy seed one today!xx

  • By far this is the most hilarious thing that I have seen today!!! I just wanted to tell you that your post just made my day!

  • Either an innocent child having a wee munch or a man who got peckish whilst his GF traipsed through the aisles. Either way, hilarious!

  • hahaha…maybe they tried it only to find they didn't like and thought it best to share with other customers? uhhhh…gross!

  • Is it weird that the first thing I thought when I saw the bagel pic was not "eww, that's gross!" but, "mmmm, I want a bagel…"

  • Thanks for weighing in, guys! It definitely could be a child, but the bite mark looks as though an adult-sized mouth took a bite!

  • Haha. It's still good for eating as far as I'm concerned!

  • Thanks for weighing in, guys! It definitely could be a child, but the bite mark looks as though an adult-sized mouth took a bite!

    Maybe some 'bloke' thought it would be funny?

    (That's about all the English vernacular I can come up with right now.)

  • Weird. Although i suppose it's a little bit less stealing if you leave the rest…?

    i was inspired by this the other day when i saw broken glass on a garden wall – just posted about it on my blog.

  • Or some teen pranskter? I am leaning towards a group of teens daring a member of the group..
    People do all kinds of selfish stuff though. I have seen opened boxes of chocolate, dumped starbucks cups on shop shelves and folks reaching inside bags of grapes to 'test' and taste them..
    Just sayin'..

  • The culprit is that you're shopping at Tesco 🙂 Get thee to Sainsbury's or Waitrose! Yes, I am a total supermarket snob, I admit it.

    And now I'm craving a bagel, but I promise to buy mine!

  • @Hannah: HAHA! I couldn't do it!

    @Jamila: LOL yup, that 'chap' was ridiculous…

    @sprite: What a shame! Could defo be some kid reacting to peer pressure.

    @Emily: A CLEAR indication that I need to stop shopping at Tesco!

    @Emily rue de France: Glad this prompted a laugh!

  • I have unfortunately seen things like this. People in markets sometimes graze through the groceries before paying or sometimes can't pay. Evidence like that bagel shows what's going on when people aren't watching.

  • @Roni: Saw and commented! Ridiculous, I've seen something similar and was planning on blogging about it!

    @Fly Girl: It just seems so sad that somebody would do something like that! I really hope it was some kind of a dare or stupid joke, because if it was someone who was truly hungry and couldn't afford to buy the bagel I would feel really terrible.

  • The bite seems too little for a hungry mouth, so it's either one of those sickos who get a thrill out of doing crap like this, or a child .

  • @Jules: What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall (or a CCTV camera) so I could see who the culprit is!

  • O,

    I was gonna ask if you could video yourself going grocery shopping in London, you think you would get in trouble?

    T

  • @Tanya: I don't think I would! Thanks for the suggestion, will definitely do that in the new year!

  • Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
    daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”

    and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go
    back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
