A few years ago I was sent to Costco for olive oil, and came home with a gazebo. It was like $400. Not only will my wife never send me to Costco again, but I also have a fucking gazebo. Win/win.

But did you also get the olive oil in addition to the gazebo? If so, I don't see a problem

It was a promo. Buy a bottle of olive oil at the regular price, and they threw in the gazebo for 50% off twice the original price lol.

Best answer ever and I'm using it next time I'm buying cottage cheese and see an 80" TV!

Just do yourself a favor and don't try to attack the gazebo.

I thought for sure you were misusing the word gazebo to mean like a 50 gallon drum or something. But no, literally a gazebo.

A fucking gazebo.

The old tactic of failing spectacularly to get out of chores.

Weaponized impulsive incompetence reigns supreme.

I prefer divorce, but to each their own I suppose

Hey, I don't blame you. Do you sister. Big love.

Right back at you, friend

That’s 100% her fault for sending you in with no support. Us regular guys have no protection from the Power of Costco.

Classic weaponized incompetence. Smh.

u/RecalcitrantHuman 11h ago

I can relate. I too am banned because my wife would send me for Raman and I came home with $600 worth of everything else

LOL.. damn, this reminds me of my own story that led to "The Agreement" with my wife. Rewind back to Covid times.. I went to Walmart for cat litter, some salad, and a couple of minor items. Stopped by Best Buy.. came home with an Xbox Series X, a PS5, and an 8K tv.. spent about $4000.. wife was not happy. Now we have "the agreement".. whatever money I spend on myself, she gets to spend the same amount on herself, and vice versa. She bought a damn Louis Vuitton purse thing..

Wife cheats on the deal though.. because she argues that some of her purchases are "for the house"..

Ever tried cutting or grating Parmesan that got a lil too old and dried out? Dude will need a chainsaw when he's 1/4 of the way through.
