My wife asked if I would help her; figuring she needed a jar opened or a bowl off the top shelf I said yes I would help. I should have known something was up when she said are you sure you want to help; I should have ask what she needed, but I didn't. She came into the office with my coat and said she was ready. I made my I am trouble face and she just smiled. She said we are going to Wal-Mart. I hate Wal-Mart, especially on Saturday; it full of people, it's loud, people are pushing and shoving and being rude. Some of the people look like they should not be out in public alone.

She walks through the store touching everything. Stopping to look at this thing and that thing. I am breathing deeply and giving my best "I don't want to be here act"; she just smiles and said "I am so glad you decided to spend the morning with me" What could I do?

I presume you haven't been married too long? :D
 
You just scored some major brownie points. It'll go a long way towards your next ammo/firearm purchase.

they call it "wal"-mart for a reason..........cause when you get there ,you just want to beat your head on the "wal"......next time she asks,just buy a gun while your there........"viola ' no more wal-mart excursions.
 
I feel your pain my man. Been there, done that.
Wifes favorite store by a long shot. Of course when
i go with her now, it's (I'll be in the sporting goods)
for me and we go our separate ways. Lately it has not
been very much fun for me because of the unavailability
of any ammo. You did your good deed for the year.
Stand proud.

Do what I like to do, go in the nearest fitting room, wait a couple minutes, then yell out "HAY, there's no toilet paper in here, can someone get me some toilet paper?"

They'll prolly ban you from returning!

You obviously haven't been married very long. Know how quick you can loose those points? Usually they are lost by the time you get home. Can be as simple as changing the radio station at the wrong time.
No my boy, the time to put the foot down is before the trip-just say no-you won't be in any worse trouble than if you go. Trust me on this one-I've walked the walk.
 
I hate walmart.

But today I went to 9 formal stores for a prom dress for the oldest. It only took two hours, and that includes fitting for alterations and lunch.
 
There are any number of approaches. Yes, tell her you'll be out in the car or in sporting goods. If you see anything you want, buy it. You won't get a free pass, but you'll have stuff you wouldn't otherwise.

Or actually go to the car. Find a radio station that plays music you can stand. Check out the freaks and how they dress. Laugh at the worst offenders. If there are girl scouts selling cookies (only this time of year) buy a box. They come in single serving sizes you know. Then slowly eat the box of thin mints! Look at the cars people manage to drive into the lot. Take a nap. She won't get too mad because at least she got a ride to and back home.

With my wife, she wants us to shop together. I may be able to sneak away and check on ammo or magazines but not for too long. Since it's getting difficult for me to get around, it usually takes a while.
I do gotta admit it's hard to not laugh out loud at some of the Walmartians.

You are correct. Been married for two years last Thursday. Is it also safe to say you can be in the negative points too? That's terrible!
