Stupid consumers

(Baonghean) - My wife often pouts and calls me a stupid consumer. It's not unfair. I always bring home low-quality, fake, counterfeit goods with sky-high prices.

According to traditional division of labor, my wife takes care of all the market work, but there are times when I have to personally go to the stalls.

For example, June 1st. As a real father who cares about the future generation, I have to buy something worthwhile for my mischievous six-year-old son. This cannot be left to my wife. She only follows the same formula: milk powder, milk powder, milk powder, which makes the boy sick to his stomach.

Me, an electric car to carry it into the 22nd century, or a flamethrower, hoping it will become a military genius, protecting the country's sovereignty in the future.

On Women's Liberation Day, I should not bring an envelope to your wife and tell her to buy something she likes as a gift. As a representative of the true men of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, I have to scour all the markets and supermarkets to buy a meaningful gift for my faithful wife who is struggling to take care of the family in this time of rising prices. A cosmetic bag, for example, can make my wife's face shine like the full moon. And her body will exude a fragrance that will not fade for a whole month. It could also be the new-designed ao dai that the girls are practicing for the Miss World pageant shown on television.

It is really difficult for me to choose when I am blind to fashion, unable to distinguish between good and bad colors, and the materials of domestic and foreign fabrics.

And so I became a foolish consumer when I gave my son an electric car, which after a few days lost all four wheels and was stuck. The flamethrower that my son held in his hand and shouted to charge suddenly broke down, the flames of hatred could not be released, and the evil was not destroyed. My wife wore an ao dai to the festival, and her fashionable friend had not yet had time to admire it when she suddenly discovered that the fabric used to make the dress was specifically used to make floor mops. The risk of divorce was inevitable.

Here, I earnestly appeal to all sellers, whether state-owned, joint-venture, joint-venture or individual, whether limited liability company, unlimited or expired, to be honest with customers, especially with foolish consumers like me.

What will happen to me and my family in the future if I have to buy a gift for my boss's wife at the end of the year (because my boss absolutely forbids me from giving him a gift).

Unfortunately, under the watchful eyes of the boss's wife and the boss's bright glasses, the gift's brand was discovered to have been switched.

My employment contract may end early, let alone my initial hope of a raise in the new year.
