No, but I am a dribbler at times. I had Bell's Palsy when I was pregnant and I dribbled every time I ate. A couple of years ago, I had a mild case of it and I drooled out of the side of my mouth on occasion.
Are you a dibber?

That's right! Maybe dibs was for the last cookie.“I call shotgun!” was the phrase that I grew up with!”

Definitely Shotgun for front seat!

No I'm not. I'm a human.

I must be too old but what the hell is a "dib or dibber" ?Im well aware that most people dont give a kazoo about what I think. I try to fight it but sometimes a dib just slips out.
So. I was shopping at my local Piggly Wiggly aka Kroger and one brand of eggs was on sale BOGO. So I loaded up my cart.
As I was leaving I spotted a lady reaching for the full price eggs. I debated on telling her about the BOGO and decided what the heck. Why not.
She appreciated the tip. I found though that some people will give you the stink eye when you dib.

Looking back, I should have added this: I don't think strangers in a store would place much value on my shopping suggestions, nor me on theirs, since we don't know one another.

well ya know, some folks only eat certain things so they probably see the cheaper prices but it may not be a product they want. or they may be on a special diet and one brand is what they need. i don't bother people if i'm shopping in a store. i just leave them be and let them do their thing.

I do most of the shopping & as is my habit I shop with a list. I don't browse or look at what others might be buying. Just in buy what is on the list then pay & leave. Definitely not a dibber.
OTOH my wife is the kind of shopper stores love. An impulse buyer
<----- could easily be a dibber if left alone to shop.

The second item can be donated to the Food Bank. They usually have a box in the store.

If someone is looking lost and I hear what they want, I might tell them where I think it is. I usually know.
Or there was a woman picking up bags of quinoa and just starring at them. I suggested one brand was especially good and locally grown. She didn’t know how to cook it, so I told her, said good luck and left.
You can usually tell if someone would appreciate a second opinion.

that is a good idea - we have a collection box like that but only takes non perishables.

Sorry for the question regarding a "dib or dibbler". I should;d have read ALL of the articles.
I guess that makes me a "DUH".

don't get me wrong...if an old lady at the store is in need of help finding something i will help. but i don't tend to tell people about deals. mainly cuz some people get pissy if you don't mind your own business and around here they aren't afraid to vocalize that.
