... she insisted I take her to the local shopping centre every day.

Like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and out.

She's like most women - loves to browse & leaves me with endless time to fulfill.

Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter, from the local Shopping centre:

Dear Mrs. Rodgers:

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. Rodgers, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras:

June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.

July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.

July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in House wares. 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 with a union grievance, causing management to lose time; and costing the company money. We don't have a Code 3.

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

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

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.

August 24: 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.

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

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

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

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

October 9: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

October 18: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed;

'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

October 23: a box of condoms to the checkout clerk and asked, "Where is the fitting room?"

And last, but not least:

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

One of the clerks passed out.

I developed a strong dislike for "list jokes" many years ago. They really break the Rule Of Three.

The frame joke should also have a conclusion of its own. You can’t just end the joke with the last item. That’s like ending the One Thousand and One Nights with just another story. What happened to Scheherazade?

No fitting room attendant is "passing out" from hearing that someone pooped in the fitting room. Maybe a 'not this shit again' or a 'I don't get paid enough for this' sigh.

October 27: While free samples were being given out, he got a sample then returned later while wearing different clothes. The free samples ran out and we found random articles of clothing laying around. 


November 3: When a local school had an event to sell cookies and chocolates outside, he went to one of the organizers to say the managers know nothing of the event and will soon call security to escort them off the premises.

Madonna look. I'm almost 50 and I had to wrack my brain trying to figure out what that was supposed to mean.

Finally got it, but wow, what an old and fairly obscure reference.

Patina_dk t1_itmhydk wrote

It's a reference to "Madonna’s Iconic Jean Paul Gaultier Cone Bra" and you can put that sentence into your favourite search engine and look at the pictures.

SpringyardDream t1_itn3a4z wrote

I've always hated this because there's no punchline. It's just a list of different jokes about the same character. The weaker ones diminish the overall effect of the stronger ones and the stronger ones put the weaker ones even more in the shade so it's a circular disadvantage. If I wanted that, I'd read a joke book.

Not trying to shit on the post at all, so do not take this as sarcasm, but I have not seen this joke since the 90's. Forgot all about it. Still made me smile. I remember pissng myself laughing the first time I read it. Passed through email chains iirc.

You know how I know I loved her? I didn't mind going with her shopping/browsing. I was happy pushing her cart while we talked about stuff. I has happy to enjoy her company.

At least I think it was like that. It's been so long that memories are all foggy now.

True story from my circle of acquaintance.

I was invited to eat at his place and the first thing that got my attention was a beautiful marry go around horse in his living room. So I ask him from where he got it.

He had to go shopping with his wife frequently. He didn't liked it and started started paying things they didn't need. The day he bought that horse for around 3k USD was the last day he had to join the shopping tours. In his words “It totally worth every penny ”

Repost or not it's not funny. Do something once or twice, ok let's laugh. Do it again and again is straight disrespect to the ppl working there.

The funniest part is that if these ppl - that do the "innocent pranks" - get the same treatment at their work they cry to everyone like lil b**ces and demand everyone to stay professional. 🤮

Pity the shop didn't press charges.
