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!

My Wife sends my son there with our debit card.:D

I've noticed something about the store. We have two in our area. There appears to be a rule, don't know if it's official, but it's strictly enforced: Not more than 2% of the customers in the store at any one time can be physically attractive.:eek:

Anybody else notice this?

I went with her because she did trick me and because she asked. we have been married 46 years. We have a lot of fun together, but I am not a Wal-Mart fan. Wal-Mart did have some 9mm and 45 acp but that's it and a Sig Sauer black rifle that some idiot was commenting on about being the best overall assault weapon ever made. And yes I did hold her purse while she handled some sheets and towels, no the purse did not match my boots. When I went to check on ammo and went back to fined her I went saw her I went one aisle over and called like crow really loud so she knew it was me, she called back. we had a laugh. It helps to remember that I love and we only have so many days with the people we love so we should make the most of them. would I have rather been home reloading or at the range shooting, yes. She did make me one of my favorite meals, creamed beef on toast with eggs sunny side up.

I mean no disrespect, But since you put it out there, I have to
ask: Which side of that line do you fit in?:D:D

I Keed, I Keed!
 
I was sent there today (new Wal-Mart and it is close) my very essential mission was to purchase some tomato sauce (which it turned out we didn't need), while there I wandered by the ammunition aisle.
Three very large semi belligerent guys had a medium sized manager cornered, surrounded really.
Where was all of the 40 cal ammo?
Where was all of the 22 long rifle?
When was the next shipment?
Why was there a limit?
Why was the limit only three boxes?
Why didn't he order more ammunition?

This was worth the price of admission; the manager handled it very well.

Quoth he: I order every day, the warehouse ships what they have, I never know what will be shipped, the truck arrives early every morning, the dock guy checks in ammunition if any first, it arrives at sporting goods about 8:00am, the line here usually starts to form about 7:00am, the ammo is usually sold before we get to the end of the line.
If I didn't have a limit, the gun shop down the road would have a guy in line who would buy it all.

Three guys: you mean we have to be here at 7:00 am every day and we'll never know what you will have?

That's right, Qouth he: better be here before 7:00 if you want the head of the line.

But, but, but, but--------------
