You shop. I'll play.  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7538)   ranked 11 out of 5,519 in shopping 4 years ago

When I go food shopping with my wife I am invariably told at the supermarket door that I can "go and play". This is her way of telling me that appreciated though I am she would rather shop without a 50 year old child running amok down the aisles. Throwing things we don't need into the trolley/cart and, at this time of year, frightening the real children by donning a Halloween mask and making silly noises. So I go and look at all the technological wizardry on display. Fiddle with the CDs, watch some TV (about the only time that I do), if I've got a few pennies I'll buy a cup of tea, open and close washing/dishwashing machine doors and be a general nuisance. After 20 minutes or so I then set off through the store trying to find my beloved. This is a principal form of aerobic exercise for me, coupled with loud sniffs and sobs as I realise that she just HAS to have left without me. Then I see her, my heart resumes it's normal pace and I get told off for sticking that bar of choccy in the cart that my waist really does not need. So here is my plea to Supermarket owning myLotters. Please install an adult creche. Let's have a ball park, a "take something technical apart" bit, perhaps. If we must, a newspaper or two and a TV. An Xbox or similar would be good. Then our shopping wives would know just where to find us and could come and take us way when they've finished their shopping - perhaps via the check out so that we can pay and be brought back down to earth!

I could never take my husband shopping when I was married. I'm very frugal and barely filled half the cart for us and the two boys. When my ex went along, we'd need a second cart! And we spend more than my entire budget for the month when he went shopping with me! Usually, I'd find that when I got home we had a lot of groceries but really not much to make a meal out of--maybe 2-4 meals came out of that shopping trip and my menus were irrelevant at that point.

So, all you guys--stay home!! lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7538)   ranked 11 out of 5,519 in shopping  4 years ago

LOL. Were we married to each other? LOL. I'm not a bad shopper on my own. I spot the bargains better apparently. But together I regress to a child like state. I would stay at home and sometimes do. But she doesn't drive and we've usually given the chauffeur the day of so I have to take her. She does get a taxi home sometimes if she shops in town.

Oh P1ke I am laughing so much here the tears are running down my Cheeks as I am sitting here just imagining it and feeling sorry for your poor Wife lol
I have to say though if I saw it I would be so busy laughing I would not be able to shop lol
Thank you for the good Laugh I certainly needed that lol
You and Gissi would make a right pair lol xx


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7538)   ranked 11 out of 5,519 in shopping  4 years ago

I aim to please Gabs. But why not? Look at the faces of the men as they shop. Do they look like they are having a good time? Do the women for that matter! I used to go to department stores with The Boss whilst she went shopping for clothes etc. I used to go and wait in the appropriate place - the lingerie - but it ruined my complexion. I kept getting my face slapped. I didn't know that I was NOT supposed to linger there. Wondered why there were always half dressed women about. I thought that it was to entertain the men! (and if you believe that...)


myLot reputation of 95/100. gabs8513 (23375)   ranked 107 out of 5,519 in shopping  4 years ago

Oh goodness P1ke lol I don't know what are you like between you and Gissi this morning I am going to end up crying from laughing lol

ha ha hilarious!!! I can just imagine all the trouble you get into!! As you say, Boss probably enjoys not having you running amok, she wants to focus on what she needs so that she can get out and go home before the frozen stuff defrosts!!

Maybe supermarkets should have seats that fasten you in (so that you cant escape and wonder off) and you have to stay their doing nothing until she has paid (bit like a naughty seat but obviously you dont have to be naughty to sit there!! lol)

Having a creche would be good, but to have an adult creche that is just too much to cope with!!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7538)   ranked 11 out of 5,519 in shopping  4 years ago

You could be the creche supervisor Cinders. No? A large child seat might be one option although I have sometimes been told to keep one hand on the trolley so that she knows where I am. But that gives me some range still. One of my favourite tricks is to take her by the arm, lift her slightly and then run us down the aisle. Even she laughs at that! Do they do that in Sheffield supermarkets? If not I must get up there and demonstrate!


myLot reputation of 96/100. cinderella2007 (1629)   ranked 622 out of 5,519 in shopping  4 years ago

I would love be creche supervisor but unfortunately thyy wouldnt be able to pay me enough!! lol
Maybe a large child seat in the trolley, that would be good!!! You will have to come and demonstrate in the Sheffield supermarkets, just not in my supermarket!!!

*LOL* oh, pikey, you are a big child, aren't you?


coupled with loud sniffs and sobs as I realise that she just HAS to have left without me. Then I see her, my heart resumes it's normal pace

Now this sounds like hubby. He says he gets scared when he realizes no adults are around. Meaning he has wondered off and can't find me anywhere.

Men are such little boys, sometimes.*L*


You may just have a good idea though. If there was one place for the guys to go to do all the things they wander around the store doing, it would make the wives jobs finding them a lot easier.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7538)   ranked 11 out of 5,519 in shopping  4 years ago

Blame our mothers. Mine kept tying to leave me at the store but I found her again! But why not have a place to park your bloke. Don't make it too nice or we'll not want to leave!


myLot reputation of 94/100. thebohemianheart (2780)  4 years ago

*LOL* I see your point.

Oh p1kef1sh you are a one!

I think that you and your wife have such an understanding relationship and you sure know where your place is!!! lol. I think a creche for the guys is definately a good idea as I too am very much like your wife, prefer to shop on my own!


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7538)   ranked 11 out of 5,519 in shopping  4 years ago

I certainly know my place Humbug. My knees are getting creaky but I spend an awful lot of time on them. LOL. The Boss likes me to drive (she can't) but once we are there I think that she feels that she achieves more without me.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Humbug25 (4577)   ranked 135 out of 5,519 in shopping  4 years ago

I am 100% sure your wife does get it done easier and quicker minus your presence!! lol

6. myLot reputation of 82/100. MoonlightSerenade (998)   4 years ago

haha. Well, maybe they should have some activity for you there -- you at least need a videogame or something in there, right? I prefer to shop alone myself. I have a friend I shop with sometimes, and I don't even really like having her along. She likes to criticize my shopping choices, lol, and really -- if I want someone's input, I'll ask for it. She isn't eating it or paying for it after all!

But as for the chocolate -- can't blame you for slipping that in there, little boy!


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7538)   ranked 11 out of 5,519 in shopping  4 years ago

LOL. Something to keep us out of trouble. Thanks for the Chocolate!

At most of our local Walmarts, you could take a book or paper and part at the McDonalds until she comes to collect you


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7538)   ranked 11 out of 5,519 in shopping  4 years ago

We could part but not at McDonald's. Can't stand the place!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24670)   ranked 57 out of 5,519 in shopping  4 years ago

well, these aren't normal mcdonald's. they are store fronts and they would allow you to sit at a table, drink a cuppa joe and read the paper

they are not your normal mickie d's, no playground, it doesn't have the normal kiddie traffic because its more of a grab and go place.
