I no longer object to holding my wife’s purse in stores, ever since I saw a comic on TV talk about how glad he was to have tampons in his shopping cart the day the persistent gay guy in line behind him kept trying to pick him up.

When I was a teenager 30+ years ago, I did the one with the alarm clocks, along with clock radios, but set to go off all at store closing time with ear-splitting volume.

I also used to set old-fashioned spring rat traps in the bottom of new trash cans. Lots o’ fun watching the teenage stock jerks trying to get ‘em out without getting a finger caught.

Sadly, I grew up.

The list is an internet meme at lest 10 years old. Google “Things to do in Wal Mart when you are bored”, same stuff.

Shopping with my wife is fine but it’s when our teenage kids (1 of each) come to that I get stressed
They don’t want anything too healthy but they also object to what they consider cheap, or I consider good value. FFS, it’s a packet of dried noodles. The 9 pence (UKP 0.09) ones are pretty similar to the 45pence ones you want me to get – fair trade, no GMO, HFCS or any nasty chemicals. And that is before we start shopping for complicated things like clothes, wallpaper, paint or televisions…

My wife knows better than to ask me to go shopping. Like most of you guys, I shop about once a year, begrudgingly.

Funny though…

What gives with women shopping?
I need a pair of trousers, go the shop I like, snatch 3 different pairs my size, the one that fits best, I go out pay it and leave.

If it’s my wife, she’ll go to three different malls, look at all the shop windows, brings my attention to at least 4 different rings, or earrings, that she finds “oh so beautiful”, finally decides to enter one shop, takes 5 different pairs of trousers to the fitting room, and 4 tops (even though she’s not shopping for tops). tries them all (entering and exiting the cabinet for each), reduces the choice to two pairs, tries them again, and then decides she’s not taking any. Exits the shop, goes to a different mall, does the same routine, than goes back to the first mall. She finally takes one of the first two pairs she narrowed down the first time. Goes home, tries them again, has some doubts, and three days later goes to the shop and returns them and takes the second pair. The pair is cheaper so she puts some more money and take 2 tops too.

And this is not no Urban Legend… it has happened to me. Several times (minor variations)

Wasn’t there a Bud TV ad where there was a secret “husbands/BF’s” room that you accessed in the middle of a clothes rack? Inside there was poker, big screen sports, beer, etc.
