A young man in Betoota Heights is celebrating what he considers to be a ‘small victory’, not yet realising the reality of his situation. 

Angus Granger (32) was reportedly overjoyed when girlfriend Olivia Davies (30) suggested the two of them pop around to Bunnings this afternoon. 

The couple, who both work full-time office jobs in the city - though would struggle to name just what each of the other does - had been enjoying a quiet weekend off. 

“Babe, do you want to stop by Bunnings this arv?” Olivia asked. “I need to get some stuff to clean the bathroom. And I wouldn’t mind checking out the plants while we’re there, too, actually.”

At the time, Angus had thought he’d struck gold. 

Though he didn’t really need anything from the Bunnings, like the majority of the Australian male population, Angus was perpetually down for a spontaneous trip to the hardware mega store. 

He’d already agreed before Olivia finished her sentence. 

However, unbeknownst to Angus, or perhaps more likely attributable to a poor memory, he failed to realise Bunnings is in the same Homemaker Centre as Spotlight - the nationally recognised female equivalent of Bunnings. 

As the couple pulled into the carpark, Olivia informed Angus she just wanted to check out Spotlight quickly, she’d only be a second. 

“Arghhhh. Fuck me, fine,” he said, lamenting for only a moment before deciding fair’s probably fair. 

By the time they exited the craft store three hours later, Olivia had a plethora of fabrics she’d likely never use and 3 new bedspreads in her arms. 

“Yay. Bunnings time now. You’re a good sport!” she said as Angus grumbled. 

“Ohhhh no. TX Maxx is closed already, I was hoping we’d have time to stop in there beforehand too. Boo.”
