Do you take boyfriend/husband shopping??

Mehnis
By Mehnis

Proof of what can happen if a wife or girlfriend drags her husband or boyfriend along shopping.

This letter was recently sent by Tesco's Head Office to a customer in Oxford:

Dear Mrs. Murray,

While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics.

Below is a list of offences 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 trolleys when they weren't looking.

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

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

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

5. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

6. September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a gas stove.

7. September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"

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

9. November 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the Housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were.

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

11. December 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practiced the "Madonna look" using different size funnels.

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

13. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the fetal position and screamed "NO! NO! It's those voices again."

And; last, but not least:

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

Yours sincerely,

Charles Brown

No way, this topic is extremely hilarious.

I really would like to shake hands with this genius, he didn't only managed to stop going with his wife, he also banned her from the whole store, and depending on how frequently she went shopping, thank god he didn't shoot himself eventually

Really liked the October's forth trick.

Arien please tell me what kind of shop you have. I need to know because if my wife can be happy to spend a few hours a few times a week there then you will become my best friend.

Jinny she is a lovely sweetheart and I guess I can do it for her again and again as long as she is happy. So though I grumble I never refuse to take her 'shopping'.

I sometimes give her my whole wallet and say " just buy what you want" and then after about two hours I keep dreading 'god my wallet must be empty' and you know what??--she is in a mood for window shopping!!! I just don't know whether to laugh or cry at these times

mehnis, kudos to you man! tho shopping with your wife seems to sap the life out of you, you're still doing it to make her happy...that's the best...

Soniya the only time in life I feel I am greying and getting old is when my wife is shopping. There are many times I just wish I could vanish in the ceiling. The horrible part is she will not buy without me and just to make her happy I have trudge along dragging my feet.

Soniya one thing that really bugs me is that my wife wants to go the same store because she saw something there just one day earlier. She wanted some time to think about it. And you know what happens when we go again?? She will select something else.

Another issue is buying in installements is what I dislike. She will need say about four or five things but will buy only two. Then wants to go again the next day or after to buy those other three things. Why?? because she loves to shop!!!

Shopping with wife is really sometimes a pain. I always drop my wife wherever she wants to go and disappear for an hour or so.

But the problem is when I come back she would have three different colors of the same thing, four different kinds of dresses, with different cuts, designs , work on it, different accessories to go with each, etc. for me to select which looks best on her from each angle.

Goodness we have to start all over again.

Poor hubby was evidently distressed by his wife's shopping and finally became a psycho.....

Actually Soniya was mentioning how women loved to shop on another thread. So I posted this to make women aware of what could happen if they drag their beau along.
