Well, I Never! Wednesday

It's "Well, I Never! Wednesday here at the Bee and Rose! (Say "Well, I Never!" with a southern accent...it sounds so much cooler!)

Well, I never
thought this would happen to me in a department store....

*So, I'm doing a little pre-holiday shopping at Home Goods on Monday and what to my wandering eyes did appear?

A miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer? An aisle full of fabulous markdowns on things I couldn't live without? Stacks of hundred dollar bills? No.....

It was a naked guy sprawled out on a white furry doggy bed.....Naked....as in Nude....as in not wearing a stitch of clothing....

Here's a re-cap...I was trolling the aisles for goodies....I turned to head down the pillow aisle to discover it was occupied by a Naked Guy who appeared to be a Dead Guy upon first glance. (His eyes were closed and he was very still...) After I realized he was actually breathing, I started laughing and backed myself out of the aisle. The lady at the other end of the aisle was hollering "What the blankety~blank? Why are you layin' on a dang dog bed naked, son?" We both then headed straight away to find the manager. The manager had already been made aware of the situation, but refused to call the cops. I'm still not sure why she refused. Anyhoo....another shopper called the cops. While we were waiting for them to arrive, we could hear more customers laughing as they passed the Naked Guy aisle. They also came to alert the manager.

Suddenly, Naked Guy appeared along the perimeter of the store except that he was now Stupid Pervert in a Wife Beater Tank Top and Black Gym Shorts. He looked irritated and left the store quickly. As he was leaving, the women waiting for the cops were yelling out "You Idiot! Loser! Come back when you have something worth showing!" I'm sure he wasn't pleased that he didn't provide the shock and awe he intended. Most of the women shopping at that time were my age (40+) and obviously felt he was ridiculous. Clearly, this person is very disturbed and could potentially be dangerous. That being said, I think he figured out that we weren't buying his "sexy beast" routine in the pillow aisle and decided to make a hasty exit. What a creep!

I don't know if they caught him...I do know that it will be a long time before I go back to Home Goods!


*Well, I never felt so filled with warm fuzzies as I have the last few days reading all the very kind birthday wishes left for me here! Thank you so very much! It really made my day special!

Have a delightful Wednesday! XOXO!

You need to change your title to "Laugh Out Loud Wednesday," because that story is hilarious.

I remember the first time my friends and I were "mooned" by teenaged boys passing by in a car—we were so shocked!! Now, stuff like that just makes me offer a sad little smile of pity. Sorry, guys, but we mothers have seen it all, so you might as well keep your junk in your trunk.

Happy belated b-day! What in the world would entice someone to lounge about nude in a dept. store?
Carol said…
ha ha! Was he selling a birthday suit? If you had a camera you could have posted a picture. I'm sure somebody probably did snap a shot. That would have been a head turner.
A Psych Mommy said…
Happy belated birthday chica!
Shan G said…
Damn, you've got some crazies out there in the desert. LOL And I thought SoCal was bad!

Kind of sucks that it wasn't even a good show, but at least it was great blog fodder. :)
Mammatalk said…
I don't think I've ever had that kind of experience at Home Goods. What a story!
well...that is one thing I can say in all my years of working retail, that I have never seen. And, I thought that I have seen it all!!
Mary-Catherine said…
HAHAHA!!! Where is your camera when you need it, huh?

What a loony bird!

Happy late birthday!
Vickie said…

Dapoppins said…
You had a birthday?

((dapoppins slaps self))

and now your 40+? That guy knew where to sleep, I think he was waiting for all the cougars. Now he knows that cougars have very discriminating tastes.

Did you get to see New Moon?

Hope things are well with you and yours. Saying a prayer that your Thanksgiving will be thankful.

Tuesday's Tribute...Heartbeat..It's a Lovebeat

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. I am paying my Tuesday's Tribute to Chilly. Today we celebrate our first Heartaversary. What is a Heartaversary, you ask? Well, settle in with a cuppa and let me weave a tale of wonder... One year ago today I was pacing the waiting room floor of University Medical Center in Tucson waiting for my husband’s surgeon to inform me if Chilly had survived his triple bypass. I’ll spare you the sordid details of how all this came about. I’ll just say that it was very fast and unexpected. The prospect of losing my spouse in my early 40’s wasn’t in my plan obviously. My plan was more of a “hanging with the kiddos, going to the Renaissance Faire, beating my son at Guitar Hero, driving my husband crazy for decades” kind of plan. But God always has a bigger plan for us. In this case, he was trying to keep Chilly on the planet for a while longer. As I have written before, Chilly has had two very challenging years. He has been a diabetic for a couple of decade
