I don’t have a scheduled post time where I post random coupon pictures, I kinda want to do that because there are some funny ones out there.
This one however….
Kristin, another Houston blogger ( Coupon Kristin ) was on her way home today from a trip, west of Houston and saw this sign inside one of the newspaper stands.
I sooooo want to see someone stealing papers (inserts) only to get tackled as they were walking away by someone hiding in the bushes, inserts flying everywhere… going to jail with their coupon binder in tow. Not really, its kinda sad. 🙁 That poor guy who owns that paper stand is getting ripped off every week.
Finally, because it is Saturday night and I thought I had a hot date, only to be stood up because my date got home late from a softball tournament and then promptly got puked on by a kid. That pretty much puts an end to any date plans I might have had. I am going to share with you perhaps one of my favorite pictures ever!
I can not possibly explain to you how funny this scene was to me earlier today. I was running children to where they needed to be when I saw something that will keep a smile on my face for weeks!
I apologize for the photo, it was the best my 9 year old could do with an iPhone at 45 miles an hour!
As we were driving down the road a man had a baby carrier on his back with a Pomeranian stuffed inside the backpack. This dogs legs and arms were sticking straight out of the openings and the look on the dogs face was priceless! He was in complete euphoria!! The Man looked like he had an Ewok stuck on his back! I could not stop laughing, my 9 year old and I both had tears running down our cheeks. It was a great way to start a Saturday!

I LOVE the picture. Your 9 year old did great. Best thing I ever saw on a bike path was years ago when we lived in California and I saw a guy walking his lama.
Tiffany says
That made me laugh out loud! I can’t look at a lama without thinking of the Emperors’ new groove!
Christan says
That picture is priceless. So funny!
Elaine says
That’s awesome! I can’t stop laughing!

I am a babywearer, and this kinda looks like a contraption meant for carrying babies, not books… or dogs! I about wet my pants as I scrolled down. I Certainly need a tissue right now! Thanks Tiffany! <3
Off to the bathroom now…

About the newspaper theft. I have to open my newspaper and go through it before I get another one each week cause either someone has already gone through the papers and taken the coupons out or the person delivering the paper isnt putting all of them in. I have called the paper to report it but they havent done anything. I live in the country and would have to drive a lot farther (30 miles) to get the papers. Any suggestions??
Dawn says
Thank you for posting that picture, you made my day. Too funny!!

lol, poor dog!
About the coupon stealing, I went to my local Krogers and was going to buy a couple extra papers since the chronicle (don’t get me started) has yet to start my new delivery which is now 3 weeks late. I looked through a few like I usually do to make sure they had coupons and there were none! I told the manager but he just shrugged it off like it was no big deal. If it was no big deal, I guess he wouldn’t have cared if I stole the rest which I didn’t. It is unbelievable the lengths that some will go for coupons. I have purposely gone into a recycling place and organized their bins just for a few coupons both expired and good so I can send to the troops. A good couple hours work does pay off for not only me but for the coups for troops folks.
Leia says
The chronicle doesnt deliver to me or even to the store 8 miles away.
Leia says
will the recycling places let you help them out in trade for coupons???
Jenell says
I can just see the dog’s face now! Lol! That would have been a sight to see.
And I hope they do catch that coupon thief!

Yeah, a gal up in Denton TX got caught stealing the inserts. Got thrown in the pokey ( but not for long enough!) and claimed she didn’t know it was wrong to do that. RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! I was talking with a Wags mgr the other day and she said that even with them sitting right there near the register, people steal them all the time. I always check mine now. I think there’ll be a place for those people right beside the shelf-clearers!!!! ;o)

Tiffany,
We have seen that guy too so this must be a routine for him. My daughter is a dog lover so she spots dogs a mile away and just laughed her head off when she saw this guy. Glad you both got a good laugh too. Makes you really want to know what the dog is thinking huh!
Whitney says
Lol, I almost peed my pants laughing at the ewok picture!

The stores that care about couponers would put the papers behind the counter. Then, if I want 5 papers, I order up five papers. They stay in control of them, not the thieving thief. I have no idea how to stop the people stealing from the newspaper stand.
