Now this is downright mean, but here goes ........... love to see the man on the phone with the (presumably) wife and he's saying "well they have it in a red box, but I cannot see a blue box, what about the green box? So if they don't have that what else shall I get"!

For the record, my other half does not shop unless I write it down in triplicate, tell him exactly what aisle and which level shelf and how much it is. Now if it's not in the right aisle (but has been moved to the end of the aisle), we never get it! So the moral of this and the sake of my blood pressure - I do the shopping

Guess I will let the secret out. If we act like we incapable of doing something we know "the wife" will take care of it. Works for washing clothes and dishes, and cleaning the house as well.
