I truly hate shopping. With every fibre of my being I detest having to go anywhere near a mall or a supermarket, and it's even worse when Mrs Taz or one of the daughters is involved, because even though we are supposed to be getting some spuds for the tea, we'll end up in a frigging frock shop. Hell, for me, is a shopping mall.

So, the guy that's the subject of this letter I found, is a hero, and I shall be trying out some of his tactics over the next 4 weeks....

LMAO 2 good finds
my mrs tries on 3-4 items,then does the same in 7-8 shops then goes back to shop A and the item she wanted is now gone
there is no need for a male to be anywhere near shops with a female
its against the laws of nature
LLL :laugh:

well it just goes to show us fellas are all in the same boat :)

when i was courting my loved one i can recall being in asda i would walk past say the jam and pick up a different flavour i had not tried for ages and she would put it back saying we have some at home

anyway this particular night the trolley was brimming with food stuff, we had words over something i had picked up so the trolley went west and i walked out leaving her to walk home, about 7 miles, on the way home i called at our friends house and they asked were she was so i told them

My mate ended up going to pick her up as i refused, we had a good laugh about it later that night when we had both calmed down, she has never done it since but i don't go food shopping that often with her

shopping i hate it
