Stories to smile about on a Friday Afternoon - (just realised it's Thursday but hey)!

About 10 yrs ago I was looking to buy an adjustable bed. I had prices of beds from specialist companies so decided to try a regular high street shop.  After we got through the usual 'please talk to me not my carer' malarky, I guided the salesman from the single beds to the double beds.

He was confused, but nonetheless followed.  Then we got to discuss the range of beds in this section - but again he was perplexed that I wanted the bed to be two separate halves, controlled by separate controls. Why would I want the bed to have two separate controls???????

I asked him whether he had an adjustable bed...........he did.

I then asked him whether it was a pain when he was fast asleep at night and his husband sat up to read and the whole bed raised up?  I explained it was a right pain.

I will never forget his face! Priceless.

And no, I did not buy a bed from there!

    I don’t get it, was it his face because you said you had a husband? 
    Im surprised that caused any shock at all. 🙂

    @leeCal I also don’t get it, but didn’t want to say, glad I’m not the only one.

    I’m glad you got your bed in the end though @JustPete :)

    @leeCal @66Mustang His face did tell the story of "what? you share a bed" and the double whammy of that it might be a man.  Or perhaps he too shared a bed with a man and thought he'd been rumbled.  Who knows!
