Hands Up...Who Reads Magazines On Shelves But Doesn’t Buy Them?

It’s a bit cheeky isn’t it? I would never do it!
I look at the headlines of the newspapers but l don’t pick them up and have a good read and put them back!

In supermarkets or places like WH Smith, again, l see people leafing through the magazines, have a good read and then put them back.

In a way, it makes that magazine second-hand. If l am buying a magazine or newspaper, l never take the top copy... well you don’t know who’s been mauling it! I mean they might have just been to the toilet and not washed their hands... or worse!!

Another pet hate, is women whilst standing waiting to be served at a checkout, pick up a magazine and start reading it. When it’s their turn to be served they just stick the magazine back with the others! The downright cheek of them!!

What are your views, or are you guilty of this? It’s confession time!

I don't read magazines, but I notice from the covers on the shelves that they're all intrinsically the same - the same soap stars and `celebs` on the covers, the same `exclusives` and other inane topics. Why are there so many of the damned things? Buy one, and you've read them all.

That’s true... the more inane, the more they are a Zlister celeb with the worst baby voice, the more popular they seem to become!
