I've been meaning to post this for a while, but I thought maybe Cindy (Earth2Wife) would post it herself, but anywho...
A couple of weeks ago, we went to a nearby TRU without the kiddos to do some early Christmas shopping. We managed to get almost everything on their lists which was great.
We split up for a bit, and I head to the action figures (naturally). I pass an aisle display of Iron Man/Marvel Universe toys, and notice one of the RC walking Iron Man on top of the display. That's something my son wants, but they have ton of them right? I'll pick one up over in the regular aisle with Iron Man stuff.
After perusing that aisle for a while, I notice there are NO RC Walking Iron Men. So I make it back over to that big display and pick the lone Iron Man up. It doesn't take long for me to figure out I snagged the last Iron Man in the building. He was $10 off regular price, but with the gaggle of them in every retail store, I didn't expect this.
I hook back up with Cindy and tell her to watch the cart, because apparently we have a hot item. I later go off to check out a few items separately so we can maximize our coupon use.
While I'm gone, Cindy goes to check out the board games. She walks 2 feet away from the cart, and notices someone approaching it behind her. She turns to find a woman picking up the Iron Man saying "Oooh! Iron Man!"
Cindy, thinking the lady may believe the cart to be a return cart or some-such, politley says "Ma'am, that's my cart."
"Well, you walked away from it!" replies the lady.
To which Cindy replies:
"Lady get YOUR PAWS OFF MY STUFF."
The lady puts Iron Man down and backs away.
So Cindy successfully stopped the theft of advanced Stark technology.
Don't mess with a Momma at Christmas Time!
