9.2.12 Exchanges (No.3)

Baxter's Soup

It's late in the evening, around 11pm, and before the late film starts, hunger pangs arrive.

Mrs MWSC:   "Ooh, I fancy some soup; do you want some?"
TMWSC:        "Yes please."
Mrs MWSC:   "Game?"
TMWSC:        "I am if you are!"

Much laughter ensues


Physique

At a private party, the music is playing and dancing is in progress.  Daughter-in-law and TMWSC look on.

JESS:           "My rule is you don't wear a dress like that if you're that shape."
TMWSC:      "My rule is if you're that shape, you don't leave the house."


Beards

TMWSC is in the kitchen, drinking Bulmers Cider from a bottle.  Mrs MWSC instantly responds to the comment in a completely matter-of-fact way.

TMWSC:        "The trouble with having hair on your face is it gets in the way."
Mrs MWSC:   "It's why I shave, luv."


Argos Pointless Question

TMWSC is in the queue, ready to approach the till at Argos, and order some lights.

TMWSC:        "Treble zero, nine hundred, please."
Till Operator:   "Is that a reservation number?"
TMWSC:        "Yes." *

* TMWSC resists the urge to say to the woman: "It is quite clearly a reservation number, you numbskull, because reservation numbers are six digits long, whereas every fucking item in the catalogue is given a unique seven digit reference number, with the first three denoting the department, which is never treble zero" and instead waits for her to ring up the sale.

Till Operator:   "Two ceiling lights at £9.99?"
TMWSC:        "That's right" (holding out a Twenty-Pound note)
Till Operator:   "Do you want to put that on an Argos Card today?"
TMWSC:         An incredulous shake-of-the-head is given

TMWSC leaves the till, trying to work out why the thick twat asked if he wanted to put the £19.98 on to an Argos Credit Card when he was waving a £20 note.


Poundland

At the till, TMWSC has presented a basket containing six items, each for sale at £1.

Till Operator:   "Can I interest you in a multipack of Kit-Kat bars today?"
TMWSC:         "No!"

What the fuck is it with people upselling?
