Navigating the aisles of a grocery store can be a daunting task, and it turns out that many of us have been there. If you want something done right, just ask a woman—especially when it comes to grocery shopping. A new video by Laura Simmons, the witty creator of the blog My Life Chronicles, humorously highlights the common struggle of assisting her husband in a grocery store setting.
When Husbands Go Grocery Shopping
In her video titled “When Husbands Go Grocery Shopping,” Simmons shares her amusing observations about her husband’s baffling behavior once he steps into a grocery store. “He’s a brilliant guy,” she notes, “but as soon as we enter, it’s like he’s lost in a dark maze.” It’s as if he suddenly forgets everything about the items they typically buy.
Through a series of comical phone calls, Simmons guides her husband through the store, struggling to ensure he picks up the right items. “Potatoes! Potatoes! They’re in the produce section!” she exclaims, trying to direct him to the correct aisle. The sheer exasperation is palpable when he asks where to find vegetables, and she has to remind him that, of course, they’re in the produce department. “Make sure to grab a number from the machine next to the deli!” she instructs, as if it’s the simplest task in the world.
It seems that women possess an uncanny ability to locate items, almost as if they have an internal GPS for grocery shopping. This skill likely stems from countless trips to the store, where they have organized and stored items in their homes. Simmons humorously points out that her husband once returned with a fruit that looked like it had been through a battle, making her wonder about his selection process. “Did he just pick the one that looked like it survived an axe attack?” she jokes.
While not all men struggle with grocery shopping, it’s hard not to poke fun at each other’s weaknesses in a marriage. “I refuse to believe my husband is truly inept when it comes to shopping,” Simmons concludes. “I think it’s part of a grand scheme that men have devised to keep us women guessing. And it’s working.”
