Manly Stuff...
 
I went to Canadian Tire today, smells like a mans place, all oil and manly tool stuff, :o:wub: anywhoo, on my travels around the store/shop I found a wallet, handed it in to the nice lady at the key cutting place, ....strolled on a bit and found a set of keys, not a nice little bunch that someone might miss but a great big pile of keys that could only belong to a jailer...so again, skipped off to deliver said keys to nice lady at the desk....on my way out i bought a bottle of water and low and behold at the checkout found someone had left their credit card in the dooffer at the checkout.....So, are all men stupid and loose stuff when they smell oil and car polish or was today a freaky thing??? :cool:

+1 on that. Standing around fondling hydraulic fittings even though you have no idea what they do. Manly shopping at it's finest.

The opposite happens to me when I go to COSTCO, it's a feminist convention in there. I have told my single mates that it will be a nice place to pick up a partner ;)

I expect they saw you enter the store and planted those things in the hope you'd find them and return them - so they could chat you up. :sneaky:

Bolts Plus is such a manly shop that I leave my pastel Beetle in the Princess Auto car park and walk there.
