Speaking of buying newspapers...

Ben Gardner · 8th June 2011, 11:26 AM

what is it with people that they HAVE to take the third or fourth paper from the top of the pile?

It's the same feckin' words & pictures you thick bastards. Do they think that the daylight may have tarnished the all-important front-page?

Do they think that the 'paper in question may have been sullied by non-buying members of the public reading "their" headlines?

For fucks, sake, get a grip and BUY THE TOP PAPER!

Amazingly, this habit is not exclusive to one 'type' of reader or another. One might expect this behaviour from the Times / Telegraph brigade but scummers who buy shit like The Star have also developed this ridiculously snobby trait.

Boils my piss, I tell yer.

If it's a weekend broadsheet with a load of sections, the top one is the one most liable to have had part of it nicked. I've picked up the top paper and found the sport section or the magazine missing in the past.

The top one is always raggy and as above has bits missing. Man up.

This. Also, you never know what's been done to the top paper, how many people have touched it without buying it? I like to have a nice, fresh paper that's only been touched by the person putting them where they are.

Why get so worked up about what other people do?

So worked up you have to start one of the most banal threads I've ever seen.

The commoners may have touched the top one

They've probably been raking their arse crack all morning as well like.

Why? Surely it makes no difference to you. If you own a shop and went to sell as many newspapers as possible, they could take them from the bottom up as long as they're all sold. Is it because you have to straighten them afterwards?
