I like when my husband accompanies me on my trips to Target.
Unfortunately, like most men, he finds shopping boring and prefers to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, I am like most women - I love to browse.
Yesterday I received the following letter from the local Target:
Dear Mrs. T*****,
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. T*****, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras:
1. Jan 25: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's trolleys when they weren't looking.
2. Feb 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. Feb 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.
4. Feb 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. March 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on lay-buy.
6. March 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. March 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.
8. March 23: 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.
9.. April 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.
10. April 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. May 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme.
12. May 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.
13. May 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'
14. June 2: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'
And last, but not least:
15. June 13: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!' Meanwhile, one of the clerks passed out.
Sorry Mrs T*****,
Enough is enough, stay out of the store.
