OK, so I don't mind giving you lot a laugh and I know it'll end up with remorseless pi55taking, but still, here goes. It might make you smile, but I was ready to die with embarrassment.

So, the wife was going to do some shopping this morning but I was busy cleaning her car out. Anyway, our son had his friend over for the day so the shopping was forgotten whilst they went to Twycross Zoo playbarn. No big shakes but wifey asks me as she's off out, "Will you do the shopping please? There's a list in the lounge"

"Fine" replies me. So off I trot to Tescos with list in pocket. Anyway, got nearly all the things on the list, Washing powder, W-Up liquid, sugar, tea bags, bread, beer, all good. Just one item left.

Right, been up and down these fekkin aisles a few times now, no sign of anything by that name. re-check list. Yep, I know the name just fine, but WTF is it??

Awwww, bollix to it, I'm gonna Customer Services and see if they can help me. I pitch up at the CS counter where a nice lady asks me, "Can I help you?" "Hopefully" I respond. "The Wife's sent me shopping and I have no clue where to look for this "Always" stuff. Not even sure what it is to be honest. Can you point me the right way please?"

A massive smirk comes over her face and she says "Follow me Sir". Plenty of other people having a snigger too. Now I'm perplexed right up until the point where she leads me to the 'Feminine Hygiene' aisle. The darkness begins to fall over me as I start to realise exactly what this 'Always' product actually is. Bad enough, right?

Oh no, there's fekkin loads of options, ultra, nights, wings, and Christ knows what else as the lady asks "Do you know which type she wants?"

Me. "Huh? Are you kidding? Hell no. Just point me at the standard ones please."

Her. "I'll leave you to figure it out Sir." barely able to stop from pi55ing herself laughing.

I am NEVER going bloody shopping again. And I bet I'm the talk of the store in the staff room right now.

Honestly yes, I do know that feminine hygiene exists, well I've lived with 'Wolfie Week' for many many years. I'm not familiar with names etc, well why would I be? I don't use that stuff. But I never dreamt She'd ask me to buy that kind of stuff. Talk about being naive.

Never had a problem doing the shopping for my wife - there's no mystery in it at all

Although once I remember getting a funny look for buying a 24 pack of beer, 5 litres of cooking oil and a pack of tampons..... Land Rover Addict

It gets funnier if you think about the implications advertised on this one

Good line.

I once went shopping with my wifes mum (now long departed), anyway, she had the shopping list and on the list was 'Organics' shampoo, I'm following with the trolley down the aisle when said mum-in-law shouts out 'Is this the ORGASMIC shampoo you want?'

Online shopping with delivery from Sains/Waitrose has its advantages, like less time in diseased places with the rifraf  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Im feeling your pain Oh dear.....

My wife took me shopping 15yrs ago and i had a huge 3yr old esk paddy when she wouldn't buy me some biscuits! I laid on the floor kicking my feet screaming at the top of my voice She has never taken me to one of those infernal places again! Point blank refuses Worth every embarasing second

Yeah, si I will most definitely not be repeating the whole shopping exercise anytime soon, like within the next 50 years or so anyway.

In fairness she was going to do it herself, it's just that events overtook her but even she is still chuckling.

Right. New day, new week and no shopping for me.

Ive often wondered what goes on in those big shops  Geoff

Me too Geoff

That's brilliant - I am definitely doing that!

....no wait, I don't have a wife to do the shopping.
