How a trip to COSTCO almost broke our marriage!!
OK so last Saturday we decided to take a trip to Costco to get some food for a friends BBQ. This seemed to be a simple task and an exciting day out, the sun was shining and the day ahead seemed promising. Oh how i was wrong, i have only visited Costco once before, however Karen has been there twice so she assured me that she knew exactly where it was. After driving the 40 minutes down to where Costco is, i turned to Karen and asked her what junction we needed to get off the motorway at. Now anyone who knows me, can imagine my frustration as the response i get from Karen is "I don't know, do you not know". This conversation takes place just as we are about to approach the junction we need to get off at, so due to the heated conversation taking place, we miss it. We drive down to the next junction, get off and then head back to the correct one. Once we had turned off the motor way, i again ask Karen, where now? I bet you can guess what her reaction was, "I don't know, do you not know". Well we drove round for 10 minutes, with Costco in front of us, with neither of us knowing how to get into the car park. As if i wasn't mad enough already, Karen made us go round the same roundabout 3 times as each junction she told me to get off at was the wrong one. We finally arrive at Costco, however somehow the trip which seemed so promising and fun, somehow lost its magic. Lesson learnt: Don't trust Karen when she says, I know where it is, i have been there twice.
