If you want to see a bunch of impatient people, stand in the Customer Service line at Best Buy; people will say exactly what is on their mind in that line. I've even heard a "What the F**k is taking so long?!"

I try to avoid that store on SAturdays! It's like going to Wal-Mart on.... Any day. Then, my wife gets mad because I don't want to do all that Siht on Saturdays.

You want to go to Sam's with us? No.
Me & Mom are going over to Dillards, you wanna ride? No.
Hey, we're going to Target to get some stuff for the baby~ you coming? I hadn't planned on it.
We need to go get some groceries for the house~ you wanna go get them? Looks like we have plenty of food to me...

You want to go look at that new Toyota Avalon? Sure, let's go!!
You want me to get naked and walk around the house? Ya damm, Skippy!

 

 

Here comes the hijack! I dated a gal a few years ago that lived on a street called "Morningwood" Can't tell you the fun that caused!

 

I'm not sure online shopping saves a lot of extra purchases. Just looking around at the truck parts and guns and gun stuff I have bought with out leaving my house, I have to conclude i would be a heck of a lot wealthier with out this damn computer dohickey.

 

Completely different then a “women thing”…

You see our purchases from places like Sears for tools is an investment. It will last a very long time, get passed down to our kids, then their kids, then their kids, kids etc…

Women’s clothes and shoes last maybe what? A month or two?

 

Tar-shaa. Funny. Guess that's what we all call it.

 

Something tells me RacerChick would much more like to be spending on tools than frilly foo-foo girly stuff... 'Cause she ROCKS!!!

 

I much prefer online shopping, no crowds, no lines and if I get mad at the cashier I can just close the page and walk away!! I hate the combat shopping that goes on everywhere these days Although I find I do the same thing online, go on to buy one small item and end up with $100 worth of stuff I really do not need!

 

I used to work at Home Depot. I worked Returns for about 6 months. I hated it there. So many stories I could tell. Like the guy who installed his entire sprinkler system (in the ground) and ran it, then dug it up and returned it. With out a reciept. I told him to get lost but he complained to my manager. The best would be either the people who came in with a twig and said it was a plant they bought at HD that died and they wanted to return it or the women who would bring their paint back after using half of it. They would yell at me, 'Does this look like the right color! Look at this paint and compare it to the paint chip does it look the same color to you!?'

Id say 'yes it does'

To which she would scream 'What are you blind!?'

'No ma'am, just colorblind (which I am)'

They would always get really quiet after that. Ah, good times.

Reminds me of when I was a service tech, for people that had hard starts the service ticket would read "Long hard crank in the morning"

Sounded like no problem to me.

The thing that gets me is going to the Ford dealership. I always see something there that I want. A couple months ago I traded in my perfectly good truck on a newer, fancier, faster one.

Costco gets me too. My girl and I go in there for our usual 1000 rolls of toilet paper but I see all the cool stuff that I can buy, in bulk no less. How am I supposed to pass up such a "good deal"? You'd think that seeing all these phenomenal "deals" would be a joyous occasion, but it is Costco. The mega huge carriges that people park in the middle of an aisle and the old and/or wheelchair bound people who make it necessary for all to clear the way for them. All that fun picking up stuff that will, theoretically last half of my remaining life and from afar the view of the line at the check out, at every register, makes me think that maybe I should be buying toilet paper in packs of four. Costco=fun...NOT!

Sears!!! If I see the word "Craftsman" my wallet just about jumps out of my back pocket. I've got a bunch of cool tools, but I traded in the truck that was my excuse for getting them. Then they have to send me the catalogs. My wish list is from here to........
