AN ASDA shopper was slammed for "shaming" a fellow shopper over their list of messages – but insists she wasn't trying to be mean.
Emily Phillips claimed she was doing her food shop in Edinburgh when she found the list scrunched up in her basket.
It was full of "absolutely horrendous" spelling mistakes – including 'quecumber'and 'soop'.
Other typos included 'buther' and 'mins meet'.
In the 16-item list, just milk was spelled correctly.
Posting on Twitter, Emily said: “Real tears at what I just found in my Asda basket.”
She later told Edinburgh Live: "I find something in the bottom of the basket all the time and I'm really nosey so I always look through people's shopping lists to see what they've been getting.
"I opened that one and thought 'what?'. I thought it was so funny and I was really laughing so I took a photo and sent it to my friend.
"At first, I thought it was really funny then I was like 'oh bless'. Then I threw it away but I had to take a photo because I thought it was really funny.
"You understand every single word very easily because it's written exactly how you say it out loud. The only word on the entire list that was spelled correctly was milk and other than that they're all absolutely horrendous.

"It's not about trying to bully someone, I don't know who the person is and I'm never going to see them. People will think I'm trying to be mean but I'm not."
Many Twitter users saw the funny side of the list but others called out Emily for "shaming" the mystery shopper.
One said: "Funny how insensitive you are. Ever think it’s maybe dyslexia or not their first language?"
A second wrote: "Laughing and shaming someone for dyslexia, cute."
Meanwhile, a third added: "I can read and understand every item, as could the person that wrote it. That’s the main thing."
And one suspicious social media user recognised the list, tracking it down to a Reddit thread from THREE years ago.
The post at the time read:”Found this shopping list when I went shopping Friday and I’m still trying to make sense of it.”
Accusing Emily of lying about her find, he said: “Except you didn’t [find it] though, did ya?”
But the Asda shopper insisted: "I forgot about it then someone misspelled something at work and it reminded me.
