Mary-Anne found this on the net, I thought it was worth repeating for those who are into DIY chaos... :lol:

Some of the techniques might also work on Home Despot or other "Big Box" stores.

Note, I do not promise that attempting to follow this advice is safe or free of the risk of getting banned and / or busted!

After Mr. and Mrs. Fenton retired, Mrs. Fenton insisted her husband
accompany her on her trips to Wal-Mart.
Unfortunately, Mr. Fenton was like most men--he found shopping boring and
preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunately, Mrs. Fenton was
like most women--she loved to browse.
One day Mrs. Fenton received the following letter from her local Wal-Mart.

Dear Mrs. Fenton:
Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion
in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and may be forced to ban
both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr. Fenton are listed
below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.
1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's
carts when they weren't looking.
2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5 minute
intervals.
3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the
women's restroom.
4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice,
"Code 3 in Housewares - get on it right away."
5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M;'s on
layaway.
6. September 14: Moved a "CAUTION - WET FLOOR" sign to a carpeted area.
7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other
shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from
the bedding department.
8. September 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying
and screamed, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"
9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a
mirror while he picked his nose.
10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked
the clerk where the antidepressants were.
11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming
the "Mission Impossible" theme.
12. December 6: In the auto department, he practiced his "Madonna look" by
using different sizes of funnels.
13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through,
yelled "PICK ME! PICK ME!"
14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he
assumed a fetal position and screamed "OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!"
And last, but not least,
15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile,
then yelled very loudly, "Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!"
Regards,
Wal-Mart

"If you have ever been escorted out of Walmart for starting a slug fest with the foam pool sticks...You might be a 'Redneck'...If you have ever asked a Walmart Associate if the window air conditioner for $89.95 will fit into place in the back window of your pickup truck...you might be a 'Redneck'..."

Sorry just had to get that one in.. ;)

Wanna make the 'associates' day at HD??? Push a shopping cart into the 'Plumbing Aisle' and grab six of every small sized plumbing fitting you can find and throw it into the cart...then turn and walk out the door. ;)
