5282 - Long joke Sunday


After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to the local super store. Unfortunately, like most men; I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter, from the local store manager:

Dear Mrs. Harris:
Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion, in our store.
We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to, ban both of you from the store.
Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Harris, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras:
1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other 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: He 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'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted in a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money. We don't have a Code 3.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.

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

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.

9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his, 'Madonna Look' using different sizes of funnels.

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

14. October 22: When an announcement came over the loudspeaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed; 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

15. Took a box of condoms to the checkout clerk and asked where the fitting room was?

16. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile; then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.'

Whatever he was while shopping, he wasn't bored... Or boring.

Sue - And now I have a list to work with.

Bilbo said...

I thought it was already your list. I'm copying it.

RO said...

These are totally funny, and even though I hung up my prankster hat years ago, I'm headed to layaway with a bag of M & M's!(lol) Hugs, RO

Print it, laminate it, post it in the parking lot.
Then watch the fun.

Brilliant - I'm going to print it out for work 🤣

Debra She Who Seeks said...

LOL!

Shaw Kenawe said...

All wonderfully crazy, but the "There's no toilet paper in here" wins the day!

Mike said...

Bill - We can go together and double the fun.

RO - And I don't want to layaway the whole bag. Just 10 of them.

John - Do you think it would be suspicious hanging out in the store all day to watch?

Ukn - Your employee count could go down shortly.

Deb - So which one are you going to do?

Shaw - Clean up in aisle... uh, fitting room 3.

I've read this before. Makes me laugh every time.

He certainly found uses for his time when dragged along on those trips. I'm surprised the store waited 6 months! Setting the alarm clocks was my favorite.

Mike said...

Kathy - One of these days I'll do just one of them.

Allen - Let us know how it goes for you.
