Bio
I'm 35. I work in a career I love, paint, ski, nordic walk, have dogs, have a boyfriend, read incessantly, crochet, travel, sing in my car, and cook like a dream. I was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia for the past 4 years and the some of the story is posted here. Having corrected that, I have regained energy and vitality, so I'm not online as much as before. Can't really say "F the medical establishment" enough right now. *Please excuse the mess while I readjust my online identity*

My man cannot grocery shop

Rate: 10 Flag

I'm a good girlfriend when I send my boyfriend grocery shopping.  In addition to lists with brand names, sizes and the aisles of the store things exist in, I've also been known to look up items on the internet and print PICTURES FOR HIM TO SHOP WITH.

I sent him out today, he sort of looked like this:

The minute he hit those automatic doors, he turned into this:

 Then the following conversation ensued:

Him: "Babe, I can't find the Spike seasoning you wanted"

 Me:   "They always have it.  Where are you in the store?"

Him:  "In the cracker aisle"

Me:    "......."   "Ok, go to the baking/spice aisle."

Him:  "Ok, I'm there.  I still don't see it."

Me:  "Go all the way down to then end, underneath all the McCormick spices, to the right.  See it?"

Him:  "No .  They don't have it."

Me:  "It has a red cap babe.  Why don't you ask someone?"

Him: Big gigantic sigh of total frustration signifying that he has been pushed beyond all measure of tolerance "No, they don't have it!"

Me:  "I will not touch your penis for many moons if you do not ask someone."

 

He came home with 2 bottles.

Hi-Larry-Us! Rated, mos' def.
Ha-ha! Can I steal that threat? My husband doesn't know how to cook as long as I'm around. When I'm gone he miraculously does! How does that work?!
I once sent my ex husband to the store for toothpaste, he came back with Brylcream.
It's a matter training and motivation, though I can assure you this phenomenon is not limited to the male half of the species. Under *no* circumstances should you *ever* ask my father's wife to do the shopping, *ever*... Your dear bf will look like a shopping genius in comparison. (And yes, my father does both the shopping and the cooking at their house. Safer for everyone.)
Oh you are too funny! Those pictures alone...Now my BF takes his Mom shopping every Saturday so he's a professional. The idea that he takes his Mom shopping every Saturday is another issue altogther...
Funny stuff. However, I will quickly point out that I do cook well, that I have far more knowledge of grocery stores than most women I know (much less men), and that I can pair up a mean bottle of wine with pretty much whatever I make. . .if it lasts through the actual preparation, that is. . .
