My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

perhaps it was.............one of this parents who gives food and drinks to their kids that has not been paid for.
I have actually seen parents open up multipacks of snacks and feed the kid and then put the wrapper on a shelf so they don't have to pay for it!!!
my friend opens drinks whilst she is shopping that she has not paid for, she does pay for them but I think it is really naughty!

why?when i was a kid my mum used to give me and my brother a carrot each when we were going round the supermarket. paid for them at the end (am guessing she just gave the cashier an arbitrary amount of extra dosh what with them not being able to weigh said consumed carrots) and that was that.
she had the right idea though, giving us carrots and not chocolate!
