My husband loved going with me. I was the maniac that begged to go home when I went with him to a hardware store and/or the grocery store. He read every label on every can and he actually weighed the packaged meats. If he went to the store for milk and bread the kids and I used to bet on how many bags he would bring home. Heaven help us when he went to Costco! Miss him❤️.

My husband and I have such fun in craft stores. Usually he drops me off at the front door, says take no prisoners and shop till you drop. After he parks the truck and walks the dogs he comes in and finds me.
Then the fun begins........
He will wait until someone is within earshot and says....You need to put half that back. Or do we really need that? You spent how much?!!
The best one is...why are you spending my beer money........LOL
The looks are priceless on some people, one woman in Joann's last week gave my husband the evil eye.....lol

My first husband (now deceased) used to spend 15 minutes picking out a can of oil for his car, but if I needed a new outfit for a wedding I was expected to pick one out in 30 seconds or less. And a craft or quilt shop..forget that! My current husband is more patient and tolerant, but I'm sure he feels just like the guy in the video! We both can relate! Thanks for sharing!

Yes! I haven't heard it in a few years but it makes me laugh just thinking about it! Is it the one where she gives him a numbered list and he misinterprets the numbers?

My husband politely refuses to go into a fabric store. He was "burned" several years ago in any fabric store due to the fumes / vapors from the fabric dyes. Within less than 5 minutes his eyes would be burning and tearing. Same thing happened to our son when he was a youngster. Since then, the dyes' formulas have changed so the fumes / vapor are minimal to non-existent. However, DH will generally stay in the car and listen to Books on Tape or Pandora, etc. He's happy and so am I.
