    How men amuse themselves in stores while the wife shops

    (got this in an email from my sister... I truly hope most men don't do things like this! it was funny though...) I actually had to edit out a couple so not to offend people.

    Proof of what can happen if a wife or girlfriend drags her husband or boyfriend along shopping

    This letter was recently sent by Tesco's Head Office to a customer in Oxford :

    Dear Mrs. Murray,

    While we thank you for your valued custom and use of the Tesco Loyalty Card, the Manager of our store in Banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics.
    Below is a list of offences over the past few months all verified by our surveillance cameras:

    1. June 15: (edited out)

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

    3. July 7: (edited out)

    4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares..... and watched what happened.

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

    6. September 15: Set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a Calor gas stove.

    7. September 23: When the Deputy Manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

    8. October 4: Looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.

    9. November 10: While appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the Housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were.

    10. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the Mission Impossible' theme.

    11. December 6: In the kitchenware aisle, practised the 'Madonna look' using different size funnels. (probably should have edited this one out...)

    12. December 18: Hid in a clothing! rack and when people browsed, yelled 'PICK ME!' 'PICK ME!'

    13. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the fetal position and screamed 'NO! NO! It's those voices again.'

    And; last, but not least:

    14. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, 'There is no toilet paper in here.'

    (I hope no men were overly offended by this...we know you guys would NEVER do stuff like this...cause you are all sane, reasonable adults...right?)

    (I won't tell you some of the things I have done in stores out of sheer boredom...)
    "People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; We drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; We drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated?" - D A Carson

    Very good...

    I remember a time I was browsing in a computer store just to see if they had anything interesting... one of the sales assistants didn't seem to want to leave me to browse so I just asked him ever-more detailed questions about the products. Before long it was clear he had absolutely no idea what I was talking about and had that classic deer-in-the-headlights look.

    At that point he decided he'd leave me to browse...
    1Jn 4:1 NKJV Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

    1Th 5:21-22 NKJV Test all things; hold fast what is good. (22) Abstain from every form of evil.

    Well at least you two don't act like little kids in a store...like this man was...

    Shopping isn't exactly my favorite activity and if someone is with me well I feel sorry for them... If its just me, I get in...get my stuff and get out as fast as possible...

    He would do some of those and has doe one...usually he just goes to the bookstore...and has put all the radios on different stations and turned them up to max volume.
    He used to sell computers and in stores he could and did change the startup screen to "it is now safe to shut down your computer"

    He want to a Pizza Hut and ordered "out" from the Domino's across the street and had already started eating when he was kicked out by the manager.

    He is a nice guy, really...go to 1 a day PLEASE!

    Well.....actually.....

    I've done #2 before. But I set them for several hours later when I would be long gone. Funny how being saved can change your idea of what's humorous and what's not.

    I work as a customer service representative and when I'm bored I'll call the company I work for and ask the agent who gets my call intrincate questions. There's a lot of misinformation in that company, it's no wonder people get so angry when they call in...

    Do you correct them when they are wrong?

    Not really, no. Just have a nice conversation and leave it at that.

    Do they realize you're working for the same company?

    Probably not, I'm a customer service representative, there are thousands of us. I'm sure my knowledge of their product and the sorts of questions I ask would cause them to wonder.

    When my wife was shopping one day, I turned 100 coffee cup boxes with the Texas Longhorns logo upside-down.

    You won't understand why if you're not an Oklahoma Sooners fan.
