Men and shopping
« on: September 29, 2006, 09:01:43 AM »
 I'm actually guilty of a few of these!  ;D

Dear Mrs. Fenton,

Our store is considering banning your family from ever shopping with us
again, unless your husband stops his antics. Below is a list of offenses
over the past few months... all verified by our surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's
carts when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in House wares to go off at 5-minute
intervals.

3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the
restrooms.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone,
"'Code 3' in House wares!"..... and watched what happened.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and asked to put a bag of M&M's on
lay away.

6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. September 15: Set up a camping tent in the sporting goods department,
and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they'll bring pillows
from the Bedding department.

8. September 23: When a clerk asks if they can help him, he begins to
cry and asks "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"

9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a
mirror, and picked his nose.

10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, asked
the clerk if he knows where the antidepressants are.

11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously loudly humming the
"Mission Impossible" theme.

12. December 6: In the auto department, practiced his "Madonna look"
using different size funnels.

13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through,
yelled "PICK ME!, PICK ME!"

14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he
assumes the fetal position a nd screams "NO! NO! It's those voices
again!!!!"

....and; last, but not least

15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door and waited a
while; then, yelled, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

Go Cards!! Go Colts!! Go Bucks!!

Along the same lines...........

West Texas Cowboy's Lament
 
 
I ain't too much for shoppin',
Or for goin' into town.......
Except at cattle-auction time,
I ain't too easily found....
 
But the day came when I had to go -
And I left the kids with Ma.
But 'fore I left, she asked,
"Honey, would you pick me up a bra....?"
 
So without too much thinkin' I said, "Shore !!"
How tough could that job be...?
An' I bent down and gently kissed her
An' said, "OK Baby...I should be back by three !!"
 
Well, I done the things I needed,
But I started to regret
Ever offerin' to buy that...that...other thing -
I worked me up a good sweat
 
So, I finally got the nerve an' walked into the ladies shop,
I had my hat pulled down tight over my eyes,
I didn't want to take a chance
On bein' recognized........
 
I walked up to the sales clerk -
I didn't even hem or haw -
I told that lady right straight out,
"Hello Ma'm...I'm here to buy a braw...."
 
From somewhurz behind I heard some giggles an' snickers,
So I turned around to see
And ever' woman in that store
Was a'gawkin' an' starin' right smack dab at me!
 
"What kind would you be looking for, Sir...?"
Well, I just scratched my head.
I'd only seen one other kind before,
"Shucks, I thought braws was braws !??!" I blushed an' said.
 
She gave me a rather disgusted look,
"Well sir, that's where you're all wrong.
Follow me, big boy" I heard her say,
Like a puppy dog, I tagged along.
 
She took me down this one alley
Whur braws was on display.
I thought my jaw wuz gonna hit the floor
When I saw all that women's lingerie.
 
They had all these differ'nt styles
That I'd never seen before
I thought I wuz gonna go plumb stupid crazy
'fore I left that woman's store.
 
They had these braws you could wear for eighteen ar's
And braws that crissed an' crossed yer heart.
There was even braws that lifted and separated,
Whew !! and that was just the start.
 
They had braws that made you feel....well.....
Like you wuzn't wearin' nuthin'  at'all,
And braws that you could train in
When you started off when yer real small.
 
Well, I finally made my cotton pickin' mind up -
Picked a fancy black and lacy one -
I told the lady, "Bag it up, Please Ma'm.."
And figured I was done.
 
But then she asked me for the size
I didn't stutter or hesitate..
I knew that measurement by heart,
"A Six-and-seven-eighths !!"
 
"Six and seven eighths did you say...?
That really isn't right, I don't think...Sir"
"Oh, yes ma'am! I'm real positive 'bout that -
I measured them both las' night!"
 
I thought that she'd go into shock,
I musta took her by surprise
When I told her that my wife's bust
Was exactly the same as my cowboy hat size.
 
"That's exactly what I used to measure with,
Hell, I figured my answer was fair,
But if I'm wrong, I'm indeed sorry ma'am."
This drew another icey cold stare.
 
By now a small crowd had gathered
And they wuz all crackin' up an' gigglin'
When the lady asked to see my cowboy hat,
To measure for the size of the cup.
 
When she finally had it all figured out,
I gave that ol' gal her pay.
Then when I turned to leave the store,
Tipped my hat and said, "Yall have a Good day !!"
 
My wife had heard the story
way 'fore I ever made it home.
She'd already talked to fifteen other women
Who called her on the phone.
 
She was still a-laughin' her head off
But by then I didn't care.
Now she don't ask.... and I don't shop
For anymore women's underwear.

Both of those are awesome, but i don think any of the offenses in the first one are able to get you banned from a store...

I may try a few at Walmart...

;D ;D ;D

We used to do that kind of stuff. One night we were followed all around the store by their security guy. We didn't do anything bad, we were just strolling around the store, cracking jokes & stuff. That was in my younger, singler days. Now the only fun I get to have in the store is pushing the cart.  >:( ;)

Did you know that shopping carts make almost as much noise as harleys do when you pull them at 20 mph with your car! ;D

Man, that's too funny!  Back in the days when stores still used stick-on price tags, me and my buddies would go switch 'em around so that a radio would be priced like 1.99 and socks would be 29.99.  Surprising how many cashiers didn't realise it until they'd already punched it in!

We didn't do it to get the discounts, just to watch when people tried to buy a radio for 2 bucks or raise hell when they see socks for 30 bucks!  Funny when someone would go to the customer service people to complain about over-priced merchandise.  Best I know the stores didn't lose any money, unless you count the time the employees wasted figuring it out/fixing it/apologizing/etc.
