‘Anyone have a hack for getting the missus out of here?’: Frustrated dad who was stuck shopping in Kmart for three hours turns to the internet for help

  • The Sydney man had been shopping at the Warriewood Kmart for ‘hours’ 
  • He was worried his girlfriend would never leave so asked social media for help
  • Responses included ‘fake a heart attack’, ‘go to the pub’ or ‘hit fire alarm button’ 
  • The father-of two eventually lured her home with the promise of a roast chook 

A frustrated man turned to the internet for help after his partner’s three-hour shopping spree at Kmart showed no signs of ending.

Mitch Lewis, a Sydney resident, took to a Kmart Facebook group asking if anyone knew of any tricks for getting their girlfriend or wife out of the store.

‘Anyone have a “hack” for getting the missus out of here?! Been in here for hours,’ he captioned along a picture showing his wife shopping for a kettle.

The father-of-two received hundreds of responses with hilarious suggestions including ‘fake your own death’, ‘go to the pub’ and ‘hit the fire alarm button’.

Among the comments were some suggestions he should consider making a ‘dramatic’ scene to get his partner to stop shopping.

One person offered he could ‘fake a heart attack’ while others said he’s better off just accepting ‘Kmart has her now’ rather than trying to fight the situation.

‘It’s over,’ said one. ‘Kmart has her now. You need to accept it and move on.’ 

‘It is very dangerous to disturb a woman whilst shopping at Kmart. My best advice – leave the store, return in a few hours, smiling,’ another said.

While a third added: ‘Get that woman a trolley! And take a seat on a display chair. She’ll come and get you when she is done.’

A few chimed in saying the man should ‘disappear’ for the next few hours – either to the pub or to another section in the store.

‘Go to the ‘toilet’ but just run along to the pub for a few hours. You’ll be right,’ one person said.

‘Go to the garden section, find a comfy seat and call for pizza. You’re going nowhere,’ another added.

‘Hand the credit card and run don’t look back unless you plan to live at Kmart she doesn’t look like she needs your help,’ said a third.

Speaking to Kidspot, the man said while he liked shopping at Kmart as much as the ‘next fella’ he was surprised at how long his partner was able to spend at the store.

He added while he’d got a kick out of reading the many replies to his ‘request’ for help, in the end he was able to lure his wife out of the store with a promise of a roast meal.

‘I ended up luring her out by reminding her that The Voice was on and we had a roast chook waiting at home,’ he said.
