I clutched my bag closer to my aged body and marched purposefully towards “Perfume and Makeup”. Then, once I’d seen the interest wane from the gimlet-eyed-overall-person and everyone else in the vicinity, I sidled back around into the "Fetid Feet and Distressing Skin Condition" section, selected my desired item, paid for it at the back counter (behind electrical appliances) and slunk out past the BOGOF basket by the end door.
Austin raised an eyebrow when I told him …. well, he cocked an ear! This is him (he?). I believe he is sniggering!
Happy Tocktober

I've set the alarm off when walking out of a store many times and it is always embarrassing but it is better than setting it off for stealing something, for sure!
Did you find out why you set it off while walking into the store?
Haven't set an alarm going in but certainly going out, and it's always because they've not removed the security tag!

Actually, I think that is what must have happened. It was just a coincidence, I’m sure? lol
We set off an alarm before when we walked out of Walmart... we still don't know the reason why it went off :/
That has happened to me before also. It is quite embarrassing!
nice 'tocks.
Mommy said it has happened to her too. She stops stock still in rigid obedience to whatever is coming her way until someone either looses the hounds OR comes over to see what is happening and why. I always want to demand an apology! It's usually a security tag not removed and that always makes me irritated as it could be construed otherwise.
Your description of your posture and the bag being clutched ever closer had mom rolling as did the description of which counter you went to!
Austin, you look absolutely ready to pop into the crock pot for 10 hours on low. You look nommy. xoxoxox
I didn't say that, MOMMY did! I'll make her apologise! Say you are sorry, Mom. Mom?
Oh yeathat is an Austin snicker!
That happened once to our mom. She was returning some items and the security tags were still on them. The alarm never went off when she bought them, but you should have seen the faces of the salespeople when she walked back in the door. Good thing she had her receipt.
You disappoint me Austin. I am not a fan of Capt Jack Sparrow, big time. I'm in the Bloom camp. He's the dishy one. Nice tocks! purrr...meow!
I set an alarm going in too for two stores cause someone was walking out when I walked in one and realized that there was a sticker still attached to the clothes. It was uber embarrassing
Our mom had the alarm go off when she was leaving the store. She said it was so embarrassing...
Thank goodness nothing like that has happened to our mom, but she can hear the high pitch whine of the alarms and it is very painful. Thanks for stopping by our blog with such nice comments!
On the other hand, TW TWICE paid for items and left with the security thingy still be them. The cashier forgot to remove it and it never sounded an alarm. (At least TW assures me she paid for them. I'm not 100% sure.)
Alarming alarms! But fabuloishious tocs!
Austin! Toos bad yous is so young!

Ha ha ha ha ha! Me and the Human laffed and laffed at this. Oh, but not at YOU Austin, of course not! We nefur laffs at the Kittehs, only the Stoopy Humans.
Nice tocks shot. I have not yet permitted one. Tick...tick...tick...will Tocktober end wifowt Spitty's tocks shot???
LOL. What in the world is a gimlet? Is that like a small gim as per definition of platelet= a small plate?
Congratulations on the winner by the way. I've missed so many words already.
And there's BOGOF! Before I can start laughing on what the post is really about, I have to figure out these words first. LOL.
Huggies and Cheese,
Haopee
Hahaha! It happened to Mommy and Daddy once before. The alarm went buzzing and they just stood there like fools waiting to be executed. The security personnel who came to have a look were very apologetic because the cashier had forgotten to remove the security tag.
LOL, I've had that happen, so embarrasing. Not in Boots, usually in Tesco's.. So funny.. Something in your bag would of set it off, good job they didn't hall you onto the office..lol
xx00xx
I'm just back from 10 days in Queensland where I managed to set off the alarm of almost every store I walked into. Of course, this being Australia, where the national motto is "No worries mate" nobody paid the slightest bit of attention to me. It may have been a library book from the Melbourne library, but I never figured it out for sure. xxx
M hates those alarms. They sometimes go off as she leaving the store, then everyone looks at her as if to say "what were you trying to steal!" when she wasn't trying to steal anything.
My human had to get up off the floor to write a comment....she was giggling so. I enjoy your words of the days!

Sounds like something that would happen to me. I love Austin's snicker - LOL! And the photo of Johnny Depp :)
Well, it could have been worse - you could have been there to buy something more personal and embarassing!
Hehehe, very embarassing...
Lovely lesson of Dr Austin. Thanks!
I managed to have seven fire engines at my son's house yesterday....all because I couldn't get the smoke detectors turned off and the alarm company gave up trying to talk me through it. My grandson was thrilled!
Nice pirate. Nice tocks. Can we see the pirate's tocks?
(sniggering)
OMC that was sooo funny! It sounds like something my mom would do!
Oh no, I think I would have left. You were so brave to keep going in. Too funny and love Austin's cocked ear.
Also love the translation of Aspirate. Good one.
Haha! Don't let Austin make you feel bad. He's probably just sad he wasn't there for all the action :-)
-Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
LOL!! Don't mean to laugh, but your description of what area of the store you were shopping in was priceless!!
Aspirate was a key word in the book I wrote on the chapter where Zoey is about to give birth to the kittens!!
Well, Mom has set off so many alarms shopping in the USA, who cares!...and over here...anyone can come through LAX (Los Angeles) airport with any kind of arsenal...and WHO CARES!!...just a thought
Mommy's LOLing - a LOT! We soooo don't get it. But we did want you to know Faraday was indeed a bit *cough* flushed. (HAAAA)
That happened to Mummy once as while when she was walking out of the store! But she didnt have anything in her bag!

MOL! I miss Boots! We had them in Canada.
My mom person had that happen at the library!

Yo, Bro, time for a brewski? Why don't you get up off that double-wide there and ramble on down to the pub wif your 'Merican mate???
That's happened to me before. I bought a pack of batteries in a shop, then walked into HMV and for some reason the alarm went off. Its so silly when that happens! And as for setting it off while leaving, I think its the staff who forget to remove the tags who should be glared at to spare us the shame!
This whole post is a complete lark. Ass-pirate, though, I believe is the preferred spelling. Oh honestly. You see what you do to me?
Well don't feel bad....Glogirly has a solid reputation of screwing up ANYTHING mechanical. Gloman says no one is safe when she's setting an alarm, putting gas in the car, working the TV.... She says the whole world needs a standardized alarm clock with a consistently placed ON and OFF button. Gloman rolls his eyes. And I just sit back and enjoy the show. ; )
When it comes to Johnny Depp, Glogirly says, "Nice aspirate." heh heh
xo,
Katie
So, what's up big boy? That was some pretty fancy swag you sent Nellie, even if it looks like Kozmo horned in on the gifts!
Christine is a Bond girl--she carries unknown objects in her purse that sets off alarms. Hence why we don't go shopping with her and let the dog go instead!
