This was forwarded to me today by a friend, and I found it highly amusing. I don't usually pass these things on, but...well... I am making an exception. :lol:

BANNED FROM WALMART...........

After Mr. and Mrs. Fenton retired, Mrs. Fenton insisted her
husband accompany he r on her trips to Wal-Mart.
Unfortunately, Mr. Fenton was like most men--he found shopping
boring and preferred to get in and get out.
Equally unfortunately, Mrs. Fenton was like most women--she
loved to browse. One day Mrs. Fenton received the following letter from
her local Wal-Mart.

Dear Mrs.. Fenton,
Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a
commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behaviour and may be
forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr.
Fenton are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance
cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in
people's carts when they weren't looking.

2 . July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at
5-minute inter val s.

3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to
the women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and
told her in an official
voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away.'

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of
M&M's on layaway.

6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a
carpeted area.

7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and
told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and
blankets from the bedding department.

8. September 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he
began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it
as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department,
he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while
loudly humming the ' Mission Impossible' theme.

12. December 6: In the auto department, he practiced his
'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed
through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud
speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE
VOICES AGAIN!'
And last, but not least ..

15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited
awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!'


Regards,
Walmart

Why do people feel the need to re-write perfectly good humor? Ugh.. this is actually from an email "15 things to get you banned in walmart" and it does not have the story.. It's funny enough without it.

(but the old man sounds like me anyway :D )

Didn't know it was re-written. But that sounds like LOTS of fun. :D

think it's funny to put odd things in other people's carts. He only does this if we happen to encounter someone we know, though. He's done boxes of condoms, and also odd food items.

Oh, Toni! :001_rolleyes:

Anyway, never having read any version of it before, I was laughing out loud. :lol:

Although, the serious side of me was thinking that the dude would have gotten arrested before a letter was sent home...

That man reminds me of a relative!

My cousin posted a sign on the local drive through that read:

PLEASE SPEAK LOUDLY!!
WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS
WITH THE SPEAKER

Then he went inside and laughed himself silly at the bewildered employees, who had to take orders from people shouting, "I'LL HAVE A NUMBER 3 WITH A LARGE FRY..."

Some people....:)

No Way! I would never have the guts to do something like that.

Although, there's a few places that need a sign...

Dh heard me laughing so he came in and read the list. He pointed to several things and said "I did that in the store when I was a kid" Aha! Now I see where the kids get that devilish behavior from:)
