695278 2008-08-06 04:37:00 I have seen it many times in the supermarket. The husband following the wife while he pushes the trolley. She loads it to groaning point (the trolley - and the husband as it becomes heavier) and commiserations (to others) such as, “You poor bastard,” does not seem enough. Besides, you’re in the same situation.

I was reasonably certain that I was not the only one, but to see other husbands that have been relegated to the same lowly status as I, it is gratifying to know that I am not alone.

Us husbands are a sorry lot.:crying

Footnote: No prizes, but do you remember who said that?

695279 2008-08-06 04:50:00 Yep - I do exactly the same thing! LOL

Still, it's easier to push than trying to think what we may need or not - memory like a sieve

What? no prizes... damn (en.wikipedia.org) :lol:


*Edit* Woa! just noticed that post of mine was # 627 - exactly the same number of your post! ..... spooky heh :eek:

Exactly. It aint sad. It's clever. Pushing the trolly means you get a nice quiet stroll around the supermarket, don't have to worry about filling the damn thing up, and yet she can't claim you weren't any help. She forgot the mustard? Not your fault, you were busy pushing the trolly ...

695282 2008-08-06 06:07:00 I spent the afternoon in the garden before SWMBO got home and said the dreaded "S" word

Not to bad though, I was pretty knackered so I leaned on the trolley a lot and looked at the chicks - not the frozen ones either.

695284 2008-08-06 07:28:00 Pushing and even filling the trolley is bad enough. It's the ritual just after the damn thing gets emptied that knocks me about. R2x1 (4628)
695285 2008-08-06 08:30:00 My husband is obviously not as well trained as you guys, as he disappears without permission (still pushing the trolley), and leaves me stranded with arms full of groceries. However, he can always be found inspecting the liquor department. heh! Oldferix (5581)

On another great saying, my father in law used to say . . . "Wimen sure are queer cattle" . . . . :lol: :lol:

He's been dead around 20 odd years now . Lots of times I would have loved to tell him he was so right!
