What is your story? Lighthearted thread!

I went out for a quiet drink with a girlfriend several years ago, and came back with a live-in boyfriend...

Oh, and I once went to Edinburgh for the weekend. I stayed for 3 years.

I left my dog tied to a post outside a shop once and went in and got chatting to the woman working there. When I emerged about an hour later my dog had gone!.

I ran home in a panic and the dog was there with my OH. The butcher in the shop next door to the one I was in thought he had been abandoned and rescued him and rang my OH who collected him!!

:rotfl:

Edited to add, I didn't buy anything in either shop!

Not me, but said boyfriend's uncle...He went out to the corner shop to get milk and came back home with a 5 Euros scratchcard. Times were very hard, and he got a proper earful from his wife...until he played the scratchcard and won 50,000 Euros.

My ex OH said he was disappointed for me that all my Christmas presents were practical things, so he went out in the New Year sales and bought me a dish washer. Note, I said my EX OH :rotfl:

I couldn't face doing the ironing once, so I went and bought myself a double bed!

Not quite what you're after maybe but my old boss got drunk and bought an expensive caravan on ebay. His wife was unimpressed when she found out!

I have a friend who's done that with a classic car...

My BF in a similar vein got a bit merry and bought a £300 replica Lord of the Rings PIPE on ebay. Impressed I was not.

My friend wrote on Facebook the other day that she had driven to the petrol station to get some fags and started filling up with petrol before she realised she didn't need petrol she needed fags!

My friend wrote on facebook the other day that he'd gone to the petrol station only to find that the prepay- at- pump machine didn't accept Amex. He went inside to try to persuade them but they were adamant, so he went back to the car and drove off. A few feet down the forecourt there was a loud bang; when he exited the car to investigate he found that he'd left the pump nozzle in the car's tank and snapped it off when he left :rotfl:.


OH went to the pub once (before we were together) and came home via the pet shop, with two cockatiels. They were so noisy that he sold them to a friend for two pints of a reassuringly expensive lager.
When we were together he did it again but bought a baby rat. :happyhear Gurt soppy lump

You sure it wasn't a Star Wars pipe?

Edit: I'm pretty sure this my best joke ever, please someone acknowledge it? lol

Edit2: Haha! Thanks for the support girls! I'm a bit of a geek at times....

I've just remembered another one from my darling husband

I sent him and our then 4yr old daughter over to the local pet shop to get fish food and he came back with two mice and all the paraphernalia that went with them. His excuse this time was that they were the only two left in the shop and they looked lonely (actually he said it was my daughter who had said this but she soon grassed him up. :rotfl:)

He's not allowed the credit card much anymore. I can't for the life of me think why.

I should divorce him really. :rotfl:

Oh and he forgot the fish food!!

Similiar to another post but we once went out for car mats and bought a brand new car instead (ashamed). I am still ribbed about it at work to this day and it was back in 2008! (I still have the car mind!)
