The Retired Husband

Bedlam Humour

Ed Goldstraw has sent another joke:
THE RETIRED HUSBAND

After Robert Harris retired, his wife insisted that he accompany her on her trips to Asda. Unfortunately, like most men, he found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, his wife like most women - she loved to browse.

Yesterday his dear wife received the following letter from the local Asda:

Dear Mrs. Harris,

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. Harris , 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 with a union grievance, 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 Maltesers.

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.
Mrs Harris now goes shopping by herself

Supermarket shit..... Again

Bedlam - comment
They've done it again....

The damn supermarket managers have changed things around once more in the Mercadonna Store at Benissa. I hate it. It gets on my nerves.

Every single person I speak to about it, hates it. WHY do supermarket managers believe they know more about customer psychology, than the customers do? Listen to me, Mr. Supermarket Manager. We shoppers are people of habit. It hacks us off when things are stacked in a different place. We want to pop in, pick up our things , and push off home.

Why do it?

I know where you're coming from. I know you think we'll see things we might not have done by searching for the things we want, but you are wrong. All I do is fume and swear. Yes Mr. Supermaket manager, I swear at you. I curse you. I wish you out of employment.

Oh no not obscenities.

My instinct is to leave the store with my fingers jerking in your face. I want to go to the next store and shop there, I want to shout obscenities at the top of my voice like I heard a man do a couple of years ago in Tesco when they had a change around ..... but my O/H holds me back.

Next time you take in into your pea-sized brain to jerk the store around, remember it jerks your customers off. DON'T DO IT. Leave us in peace - we hate food shopping in the first place. Don't piss us off more.....
