Don't take men shopping

This is why women should not take men shopping against their will.
DON'T TAKE ME IF I DON'T WANT TO GO...........


After Mr. and Mrs. Fenton retired, Mrs. Fenton insisted her husband accompany her on her trips to Wal-Mart.
Unfortunately, Mr. Fenton was, like most men, he found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out.
Equally unfortunately, Mrs. Fenton was like most women--she loved to browse. One day Mrs. Fenton received the following letter from her local Wal-Mart.

Dear Mrs. Fenton,

Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and may be forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr. Fenton are listed below and are documented by our video 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 Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, "Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away."
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's on layaway.
6. September 14: Moved a "CAUTION - WET FLOOR" sign to a carpeted area.
7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department.
8. September 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"
9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11 December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
12. December 6: In the auto department, he practiced his "Madonna look" by using different sizes of 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 assumed a fetal position and screamed "OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!"

And last, but not least...
15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, "Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!"

Regards, Wal-Mart

I will never understand how women can't just walk into a store, pick the first thing that fits, and buy it. Shopping is not an Event.

It's definitely not all women. I frankly can't stand to shop. I just want to get it over and done with.
 
In large part it's us reverting back to our ancient instincts. Men hunt for things even in stores. You go in, stalk your target, pounce, and drag the kill back to your house. There is no room for anything else in the equation.
Women go in and gather. They look around for what's available, compare it with what they need or can use, and in general browse around for anything servicable in the area. A successful trip brings back information on availability of resources in the area at least, and a good quantity of those resources at most.
 
I'm just indecisive and so it takes me forever to shop..specifically in book and game stores. >.>;

I just started working Walmart within the last week. I think I'd actually enjoy it, seeing someone do all of this! Of course, I don't have to deal with them so much at the cash register... and would most likely do it in any other store anyhow..and have...<.<;
 
That's awesome. I'd be willing to do half the things on that list, but only if I was there with people.

Personally, I love shopping, but I can't stand clothes shopping. Depending on the store, I get very claustrophobic and irritated, for some reason. I think it's the "rabble, rabble, whurr" that some stores seem to have, just from all the people running around, talking, and getting pushy.

Last time I was at Wal-Mart, the thing rang up to $9.51. The cashier was busy messing around with the register thing, as she didn't really seem to get it, but everything was put in, so I set two fives and a penny on the little raised platform thing, and jammed my wallet back into my pocket. I look up from putting my wallet away, the lady's taken the two fives and left the penny. I try and hand her the penny, only to have her say "It's too late, I already put it in." Now, the drawer was still open, so she just meant she'd typed in that I gave her ten bucks. I said "What do you mean 'It's too late'? The penny was sitting on top of the fives!", and she just kind of scowled at me and handed me my change. Then my mom (who was next in line) said "OK, give it here.", and took what was supposed to be fifty cents.(What she gave me, plus the penny.) I wasn't standing there the whole time, but apparently, she wouldn't give my mom two quarters for it because it was only $0.47... Then she kept saying "I'm not lying!" when my mom told her that was everything she'd given me. Moral of the story? You should be allowed to smack stupid people upside the head.

I didn't think of it at the time, but I should've gotten her name and filed a complaint. The whole thing took way longer than it should have, and who the hell can't count to 50?

Bring back flogging, I say. Then Wal-Mart can sell the flogging sticks. Because one can't live without a good daily dose of IRONY. :D2
