Somebody had a "D'Oh" moment

[DGoddessChardonnay]

Well, yesterday was a ho-hum kinda day. Ran some backstock, pulled some dates on a couple of sections and then started making out my order for this coming week's truck.

L was the MOD yesterday morning and walked over to the HBA aisle while I was ordering with a large package of disposable undies (our version of Depends) and returned them to the shelf, asking "Would you think these were female pads?"

Me and a couple who were shopping on the aisle all stopped what we were doing and started laughing our butts off.

Turned out a guy had just returned them . . . he had been sent into the store by his wife, who sent him in for feminine pads. And he'd taken home a bag of Depends.

So, the wife sent him in to exchange them. Instead he asked for and received a refund, saying she could come in herself and get what she wants.

Which is how it should be...


Sorry ladies, I love ya, but you can get your own damn pads and tampons

[iradney]

*snerk*

I've only asked TTO to buy tampons twice...I think it's only fair since I'm the one that buys the condoms!!

[PepperElf]

i can just imagine what he'll come home to tho... already got them wrong, went back and came back with nothing...

brave, very brave...

Poor guy must have had a "Hank Hill" moment when he thought of walking down the feminine hygiene aisle.

[Amina516]

LMAO!!!

Aw come on! It wont kill you to go pick up my "Always"!! Just make sure they have wings...


*for the record, when I was like 12 I went with my older male cousin to the store so that he could get pads for his g/f who has recently given birth. He brought me along since I was girl and I was supposed to be an expert. We went back with Poise pads....LMAO. [Those are for women who have leakage problems.] His g/f looked at me funny that day.

am I the only one hearing Bill Engvall in my head
"do you...umm... have... umm... little girls... pads..."

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

Picking up tampons at the store means you Have a Woman.

And that you're a grown-up.

a bag of Depends.

Must resist! Terrible joke! No! Don't type it, Rubi! Save yourself!
...

"I guess it depends..."

[Lingering Grin]

Completely agree.

That being said, I have a stockpile o'stuff that will last me well past menopause, because I think that being prepared and well-stocked is also a grownup thing to do.

Hubby and I do have an agreement though: If I ever have to send him to the store in a tampon emergency, he's going armed with the flap of an empty box in his wallet. It will give him the brand, variety, and box packaging colours. If he can't find what I usually get, he'll do the best he can and instead of bitching at him that he got the wrong thing when he brings them home, I've agreed to just be grateful that I had someone willing to run out to the store for me in the first place!

That's actually pretty clever, didn't even think of that

My wife and I have an agreement: each time she makes me buy pads/tampons, I buy a video game. Needless to say, she doesn't send me out very often

Oh, now, see, depending on the games you got, I'd be sending you every month!

[sms001]

Wow. He really wasn't even close though

I've never minded picking them up if I'm the one going to the store next. Nothing embarrassing about it. I like KaySquirrel's idea though - the sheer number of products in that line is astounding and I imagine it's a situation where personal preference matters a bit. If they didn't have the right kind I think I'd rather ask a female in the store than guess though.

It may not always depend . . .

I know, it was tacky. Sue me.

Of course, being single I've not had the opportunity to send a male to the store for me - but then why would I? I work in a grocery store and I know where this stuff is (I order it and stock it) so I can Always pick up a pack when my shift is done and I'm heading out the door.

My dad actually has a joke that he likes telling 80 year olds.

What does an 80 year old taste like?

....depends.

They always get a kick out of it.
