If I returned the pitcher, I'd definitely keep those cool shoes I "accidentally" walked out with.

Square - *IF* all of the above were true, flowers, pitcher, bowling alley, cake, then that's what we would do. I'm just sayin'

Mware, those shoes go with everything, but I had a little trouble filing that big number off the back...

Dang, I would have sent the pitcher back with Glenn when I sent him back for my purse....then I would have had to ask the bar to borrow one of theirs and he would have had to take that back when it was time to go home. Good thing Glenn is such a good guy, otherwise I might have to return all the things I inadvertantly walked off with myself. :)

I'd put the flowers in a pretty vase and return the stinky pitcher.

I saw shoes just like that at the shoe store this past weekend. Really cool!!

Well it would depend....on if I had a pitcher at home, and could put this one to use! . Otherwise, I'd probably call them up and ask them how badly they wanted the pitcher back, and return in on my next trip in their direction (if they said yes). Since I wouldn't be going back in the joint to bowl anyway, after them kicking out that birthday party!

I'd only take the pitcher if it was still full of beer.

I don't think beer is very good for roses. Then again, they were yellow roses

It's plastic? I'd probably toss it :) I accidently took a grocery store basket once. Realized it when I got home and went for the groceries. No idea how I managed that, but I did return it.

but are the roses good for the beer

Kaili- when you got home were your groceries in plasic or paper bags? Or were they still just willy nilly in the basket?

Kaili

Zachsmom...I think they were bagged groceries :) I have NO idea how it happened. I laughed. A lot. At myself. Not a rare occurance.

Are ya sure beer is what made the roses yellow?

Just kidding....

Kaili-just wondering if you pulled a Zachsmom..One day I had to pick up a few items. I did my shopping and went right out the door without paying. Went all the way out to the car before I realized I didn't pay. Funny thing though, no one noticed!!! Yes, I did go back and pay.

Scruples? What are those?

Kaili

Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:27 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Oh, no. I'm sure I paid. I might not have even had any groceries that day come to think of it... I grocery shop just like clothes shopping...I browse and may leave with nothing,. I'm one of those weird ones that *likes* to grocery shop.

Cangaroo

Oh Kaili...do you go up and down every aisle, whether you need something from that aisle or not? I do...I pick up stuff to just look at it to see what it is if I have never tried it before...groooocerrrry shooooooping (said in my best Homer impersonation).

Kaili

Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:36 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Yep, sure do! Plus I get to one aisle, decide something sounds good, and end up having to go through the whole store again to find everything I need for that particular meal. I find myself in the dairy section sometimes 3 or 4 times on one shopping trip. I also pick up stuff, change my mind, and have to go back to unload it.

I do this in Target to- I get a cartful of stuff (like $200 worth), then stop and look at what I got and, one item at a time, remove them from my cart until I have nothing to buy.

I love shopping, but I manage to not spend a whole lot. LOL

Oh, I do that too! I've gone clothes shopping at the mall, only not to buy anything and then go to Barnes and Noble and spend a fortune. Unfortunately, I could not comfortably wear the books. It was a sight to see.

To answer the question, it depends. If it's a bowling alley that I'm a regular at, then yup, I'd bring it back (all nice 'n clean) the next time I go there. However, if it's a place where I go very infrequently, if at all, I'd probably not return it. Or maybe I would if I were in that neck of the woods. (Of course, if it's someplace that I visit infrequently, I'd really be impressed to get two dozen roses delivered there! <wink>)

Hi Everyone!!

Today's question is:

Your spouse or SO is developing an intimate friendship with someone of the opposite sex. He/she says it is platonic. Do you believe your spouse?

Eliz87

yes - but I would also be sure to make "friends" with this person - "keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer" - just in case ;-)

Yep. I have no reason not to trust my husband, and if he said it was platonic, I'd believe him.

Well, the "intimate" part throws me a curve. I have friends who have been through this and it wasn't pretty when the "intimate" part turned out to mean something different to HIM than it did to HER.

I haven't been in this situation, but I'd have to say that it depends. If my SO started spending more time with this "friend" than with me, or started missing things we had planned together because of being occupied with the "friend" and forgetting the time, then I'd have to say I'd be highly suspicious.

Otherwise, I'd want to make sure that we all did things together sometimes and I'd be curious to know what kind of dating the "friend" was doing. Caution would be the word of the day.
