Okay all of you ladies - you can ban me as a card-carrying female of the species, but I don't like to shop. Now, I don't mind "buying" - that is a trip worth doing - knowing exactly what you want and purchasing it. Done. In the Car. Home.
We have a lot of things to buy. That's a simple sentence that describes our current complicated situation. Having lost most things, replacing them is a daunting task. I've probably said that a bazillion times, but it is SO true.
Furniture buying is one thing that I do enjoy, even though I would much prefer to have my old stuff back. We have become pretty efficient at entering a furniture store and quickly assessing if their stock will meet our current need.
We recently did a five minute tour in a store in search of a particular type of shelving unit. I spotted one item that deserved a photo op. Here we go, and I will tell you that it is sofa sized (that is a sofa behind it).
I'm looking at this "thing" and thinking "hunh, who needs a trough in their home?"
"I know that teenagers eat a lot, but this is kind of cruel for a dinner table."
"If you are keeping your horse in the house, can you get a bed for it here too?"
So, I walk over to see how much this trough sells for and this is the price tag:
That's gotta be one hell of a big bird you've got there...Polly want a side of beef for dinner?
lmao! i thought it might be a low changing table for a really big baby. or a bunk bed for a toddler? a manger in case baby jesus comes back & needs his bed again.
ReplyDeletewho knew birds needed troughs.
omg that must be one big bird for that price. seriously that better come with a lifetime supply of birdseed
ReplyDeleteThe day I pay $400 for a bird feeder is the day I eat a feast of roast ostrich.
ReplyDeleteWould have never guessed that was what that thing is...a bird feeder. And they sell it in a furniture store? Who woulda thunk? Kooky...
ReplyDeleteOne big ass bird.
ReplyDeletehaha! Love this post! Love the caption about the teenagers, and yeah, Polly is going to need a side of beef! Puuuleeze, my husband can make that for 4 easy payments of $8.99!
ReplyDeleteand here I was thinking it was just the right size to fill with spagetti for my 14yr old.
ReplyDeleteNow when you start keeping Emus in the house you will be all set.
Gotta wonder why anybody would want to buy one.(or even design it)
Maybe the designer believed chicken hoarders are the next big untapped market...?
ReplyDeleteWTH? That is not a bird feeder! It's a shoe stand. Anyone can see that.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. This is a good one. I mean only for hahahaha purposes.
ReplyDeleteBecause really?
Would anyone truly buy this?
As a serious purchase?
YIKES!
I'm with you. I LOATHE shopping, of ANY kind. And...um... $398.00 for a bird feeder? THE HELL!
ReplyDeleteHey, $16 a month! You can pay that baby off in like 5 years!
ReplyDeleteSnort, a side of beef.
ReplyDeleteMy problem with shopping is I have a inner clock that dings at 2 hours and 37 minutes.
Holy mess. I would NOT pay that much for a bird feeder.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay that you don't like to shop. I really don't like shoes. Most girls are obsessed with them. I love them for my daughter but for me? I just stick to my Sketchers.
