You all need to good laugh...

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Walmart.
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 Walmart

Dear Mrs. XXXXX,

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. XXXXX, 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 management getting involved causing management to lose time and costing the company money.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to reserve a bag of
chips.

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 they could come 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?'
Emergency Medics 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 Sports 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'
by 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 loud speaker, he
assumed the 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.

And last, but not least:

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

I wonder if I'll have to go along on many more shopping trips?

My wife doesn't go to Walmart, but the next time she drags me to a store, I'm bringing this list.

I'll let you know how many I check off before the police show up.
 
I've only been married 35 years. My wife learned no to leave me unattended in a store the first month (maybe by the end of the first week). The good news is they don't have "Unwanted" posters that they send to all the Walmarts in your area, so if your wife hasn't learned her lesson yet, you have an approved list to add to. Ivan

THANK YOU!

gotta try some of those maybe I won't have to go with either. my favorite WM gags are anwering and using the phones and overhead pagers, while waiting endlessly for a sales rep to sporting goods. to keep it pg rated I can't be too specific but 1 involves the meat dept and another the Cheech Marin bit from the movie from dusk to dawn.
 
I saw a guy that I used to work with at the local Dunham's store inspecting a mauser. He was holding it up while the store employee was standing by watching him. He didn't see me until I got right behind him and loudly said "Hello." I then asked him "if his parole officer knew he was looking at a rifle?":eek: His face turned beet red and the salesman's jaw dropped. It was a classic.:D He replied "No and I am not telling him either". The salesman/kid didn't know what to say or do. Try that one the next time you see someone you know at the gun counter, especially if a kid is waiting on him! Free entertainment. Make sure the guy you do it to has a good sense of humor like this guy did. :D
The walmart one was hysterical. I thought the clock was the best one. Kinda like a kid punching all the buttons on a elevator. Annoying.

This one really happened too:

Several years ago I was being waited on by a very bright young man who appeared to believe that "old" equals "out of touch" and possibly "stupid". He had never been overtly condescending, but it was there--other old guys will know what I mean.

That day he asked me with a lot of phony joviality how I liked the heavy rain that was pounding down outside. I looked around furtively, as if to be sure nobody was listening, leaned toward him, and muttered, "We didn't have all this weird weather before that damn 'American Idol'."

He froze. The phrase "deer in the headlights" comes to mind.

Finally I laughed and let him off the hook, but he was much more respectful after that.
