12 things to do at a department store

[Dark One]

Twelve things to do at a department store while your significant half or shop-a-holic friend is taking her/his sweet time:


1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's Trolleys when they aren't looking.

2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5 minute intervals.

3. Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the toilets.

4. Walk up to an employee and tell him or her in an official tone, "Code 3" in house wares . . . and see what happens

5. Move a "CAUTION - WET FLOOR" sign to a carpeted area.

6. Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers You'll invite them in if they bring pillows from the bedding department.

7. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"

8. Look right into the security camera, use it as a mirror and pick your nose.

9. Dart around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the Theme from "Mission Impossible".

10. Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say "PICK ME! PICK ME!"

11. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, fall to the Floor in a foetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!"



And last but not least:



12. Go into a fitting room, shut the door and wait a while and then yell loudly "There's no toilet paper in here"!

Gee, because that would really make my day.... having to clean up the tomato juice, having to move the wet floor sign back, having to put up with alarm clocks going off as if the beeping of the registers wasn't enough to give me nightmares, having a customer break down and cry and me wishing I hadn't made someone feel so bad.

aww Clare

11. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, fall to the Floor in a foetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!" - LOVE IT!

Paul and I tend to go a little crazy in the toy departments...we'll usually set off every talking toy that's visible, then run. At one time we had about 20 Shreks all going on about something.
We're such kids

[Cat-Eyes]

Hehe, I've done that so many times... Especially with Elmo...

Cat

[Swallow]

tickle me Elmo stand.... they were asking for it, honestly, they were! And as for #4, just in case you were wondering, it's CODE BLACK, or MR BLACK TO {insert department here} at Target, and i believe Kmart and Myer does the same thing..... I have done #9 on numerous occaisions.... heck, i don't even need time to waste and a department store....

[Gambit]

we do #9 and 11 at school...he on the first day of school this year, me and 2 friends went around using little branches for 'camoflague' and ran up to a group of new grade 7s (we're in grade 10), grabbed one each and ran off. poor things didnt have a clue what was going on

Lol! When i was at college, a large group of us would go into the local Woolworths or Toys R Us and set everything off!

Its great fun!

[Shannyn]

ive never done any of that. the worst thing that has happened in a department store with me was i swung my trolley around and it hit the lipstick stand. the whole thing fell over and me and my friend ran away very fast

[~Dani~]

I love it when you drop stuff and then just run away pretending it was you.

[Timm]

I love number 12

[Morag]

I love setting off tickle me elmos. 'Cept when they're all sat on top of one rather shakily it's generally not a good idea to set the bottom row off. Was fun though And those baby toys with the pulley string. Especially the ones that jiggle as well:D.

[Kaylan-R]

i allready knew those.
hehe



my friends and i allways try on rollerblades and skate around;try on shoes;try on clothes and pretend your gonna buy them.
it's so fun!

[Elspethseeker]

OMG I was sharing this to my mom reading it to her and i could barely talk for luaghing so hard. i swear I love twelve. if i wasin the next dressing room when soemone did that i would fall over from luaghing. it is not something i would do but would love to hear. LMAO

[Elspeth]

It's so much fun setting talking toys off - especially the really noisy musical ones. We tend to do it a lot at Christmas time. Tim has a lot of nieces and nephews and we like to buy really annoying and loud toys that will drive their parents insane. And you HAVE to test them to find out which is the noisiest and most annoying.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking my bit.

*sets off a toy guitar*

;D

[Elspethseeker]

The best was four friends and i were in walmart and we found batman masks and put them on and ran around the store with light sabers and were fighting with them. that was funny.

[brydie]

ive done all of them except the tent one, the tomato sauce one, and number twelve...
*gets out list of Things to Do Before Fifty*

[Elspeth]

But Brydie, I thought you were already 115?

[brydie]

yes, what i meant was Things To Do Before 150. i just don't like to make people feel uncomfortable about my age - they usually assume that i should not, in fact, be alive, and therefore they must be going crazy.

Wasn't it a trail of apple juice?

I'll add a few more:

13. Hold indoor shopping cart races.

14. Randomly throw things over into neighbouring aisles.

15. Attempt to fit into very large gym bags.

16. Attempt to fit others into very large gym bags.

17. "Re-alphabetize" the CD's in Electronics.

18. Pay off lay-buys fifty cents at a time.

19. Ask for weird combinations of things like yard-gnomes and Vaseline.

20. Get a leash and collar from Pets and take a friend for "walkies".

21. Switch the men's and women's signs on the doors of the restrooms.

22. Test the fishing rods and see what you can "catch" from the other aisles.

23. Play soccer with a group of friends, using the entire store as your playing field.

24. Re-dress the mannequins as you see fit.

25. Drape a blanket around you shoulders and run around saying, "...I'm Batman. Come Robin - to the Batcave!"

26. Make up nonsense products and ask newly hired employees if there are any in stock, i.e., "Do you have any Shnerples here?"

27. When two or three people are walking ahead of you, run between them, yelling, "Red Rover!"

28. Take up an entire aisle in Toys by setting up a full scale battlefield with G.I. Joes vs. the X-Men.

29. Take bets on the battle described above.

30. Set up a "Valet Parking" sign in front of the store.

31. Hide little stuffed teddy bears all over the store, then announce to about ten friends "BEAR HUNT!". You can then go around asking people if they have seen a little teddy bear.

25. Drape a blanket around you shoulders and run around saying, "...I'm Batman. Come Robin - to the Batcave!"

Lol! That's the best one!

[Elspethseeker]

Heheheeh i like the full out battle in the toy isle because i like to do that i want to try the fishing rod.

[Kaylan-R]

I so all that stuff all the time,but surprisingly i don't get thrown out of the department store.It's so wierd.
One of my favourites is to put on rollerbaldes,get a hokey stick and a cricket ball and hit people's wheels of their trolleys as they're going out of the store.When they turn around I hit the criket ball into the trolley and just wait for the alrm to go off.

Another is to try on all the clothes and pretend to be a mannican in K -mart.When people come past I grab their wrists and scare them or trip them up.It's quite funny.

[Miska]

[Arien]
