I Bought WHAT?

Monday, April 11, 2011

Something I do very rarely is clean out my wallet. I save receipts like technology doesn't exist, & then I never do a damn thing with them. Case in point is the receipt below, which I recently discovered lurking in the dusty corners of my wallet:

Wait, let's take a closer look. SAY WHAT?

Things I could've purchased that would've shown up on a receipt with this heading include:
  • A disco ball
  • A KC & the Sunshine Band album
  • Some sort of '80s or Beyonce-themed workout tape
Do you know which of these things I bought at the Hudson News in Penn Station? If you guessed "none of the above," you're correct. Unfortunately, I can come up with no thoughts on what I actually purchased.

But that's not all! Let's take an even closer look:

Yeah, now I'm really confused. Based on this, it seems I purchased a few old women - and what a deal I got on them! How I managed to fit them in my small, roll-on suitcase, I cannot say. But elderly ladies are usually small & hunched, right? So I bet it wasn't too tough for them. The only question is, where are they now?! I seem to have misplaced my four elderly ladies....

And just for good measure, a bonus buy:

It seems I was imbibing, too! Maybe that's why I can't remember what I bought...

    Hahaha! I've never came across anything like this before on my receipts. Now you really got me wondering what you really purchased! ;)

    Maybe you bought some funny greeting cards? That's my guess!

    Hahaha, this is possibly the best receipt ever, you should keep it and frame it. then, maybe one day, it will all come back to you, and will no longer be a mystery.

    I have a habit of keeping every receipt I get for some unknown reason, too.

    Hahahah. How they decide to name things in a system is hilarious. Someone was having a happy day when they did that!

    I returned my then-8-year-old kid's library books about a year ago and noticed on the return ticket:
    1. Junie B. Jones (perfectly acceptable for her age group)
    2. How to Make Love Like a Porn Star by Jenna Jameson

    I'm pretty sure my kid DID NOT borrow #2. And they had the nerve to try to charge me a late fee. HA! I already rail like a porn star - I don't need instructions!

    This is great. I'm even googling them, too, trying to figure out what the crap that means.

    OK, I might have typed in the number corresponding to "Shake your booty." Google suggested I try the UPC Database. I might have created an account. That UPC number isn't in there, but similar ones are. They suggest to me that "Shake your booty" is a greeting card. What's the date on the receipt? Can you figure out which friend has a bday/anniversary/something near it? I bet Old Ladies on a Bus is a card, too. Didn't you once blog about wanting to send snail mail more???

    OK, now that I've sufficiently creeped you out ...

    The UPC site thinks that shooter NYC thing is a snow globe.

    Ha! You're a genius! I bet I DID buy birthday cards there - it seems everyone I know has an April birthday. And I bought Nathan a snowglobe, too, a quick souvenir before I headed home. Mystery solved!

    I'll take two of those four old ladies off your hands for 2 bucks.

    The first thing I did when I went to Penn station for the first time was bought stuff at the Hudson News. I don't remember what I bought but, I wish I still had my receipt...maybe I bought something like "old men rollerblading" or (hopefully) some "shake your booty" because that sounds awesome.

    Hahaha, that is awesome!

    I used to do the same thing, collect receipts but never balance. THAT'S WHAT ONLINE BANKING IS FOR.

    When I first opened this post, my eyes went straight for the "4 elderly ladies" and I thought...what?! They're on sale this time of year?! <-- Just kidding. Hahaha!

    Seriously though, you should definitely frame this receipt. It's hilarious!

    Oh god. I thought I was the only person who kept receipts for no real reason. This is a weird (but totally funny) one. haha

    Holy Moses ... this is hilarious. I once found a receipt from Target that showed the purchase of "Four Bermuda Shorts" and I was like, WTH!? I went into the store and ripped the Target employee a new one for charging me for something I would *never* buy (I haven't worn shorts since 10th grade), and that I would never buy for my husband (He buys his own shorts, what do I know?). They even checked the security camera and said I purchased it. I stormed out yelling "I'll never shop here again!" And then? As I walked to the car ... I realized it was bike shorts I'd purchased ... because I wear them under my skirts in the summer. Wow. I'm a douche.

    Those poor old ladies. I bet they're wandering around somewhere, all itty bitty, like those little blind mice from the Shrek movies. They're probably scared and hungry, wherever they are.
