I wanted to post about the horrible experience we had with the law last week but my Black Berry was trying to be funny...LOL
So anyway, it all started when I sent my hubby to go and buy some steriliser at the store for the baby. Well a few hours later I get a call from him. "Baby, we have a problem". Immediately I assume it's the the car as it has been giving us trouble for quite some time and I have his dad's number on speed dial for days like these. Turns out it was something I could not have thought of in a million years.
"I was arrested and put in a cell" he says, "They will not let me go and the security at the store will not hear me out".
Now I know my husband is not criminal, he is such a humble man and he would not go out of his way to bother anybody, accept me of course. So knowing me to be completely dramatic I ask him to explain what was going on.
" Well I felt weak in the store since I had not eaten all day, so I opened a R3.99 ($0.53) Kit Kat chocolate and ate it, put the wrapping in my pocket with the intention to pay for it at the counter".
" The wrapper fell out of my pocket and when I paid for the sterilizer and went to the door, the security asked me why I had not paid for the chocolate, and I said that I forgot. I then turned around to pay for the chocolate but before I could go back, I got arrested!"
At this point I was not sure if I was mad at hubby for opening the chocolate to begin with or the fact that they had locked him up in a cell and nobody wanted to hear him out. I mean he could have paid three times the amount for the chocolate, but nobody cared.
We spoke on the phone a couple of times as he waited for the cops to come and fetch him and I also called the Mall's offices and the stores managers to no avail. They could not have cared less and the way they treated me on the phone was disgusting. Now that I think about it I think I got a little over emotional since I caught myself crying, but should they not have been more sympathetic then?
