I'm amused at bewildered looking men in grocery stores talking on cell
phones. I assume their wife's list wasn't specific enough. "What brand of
diced tomatoes, honey?"

 This, sadly, is all too true all too often.  They expect 'mind reading'
ability such that you know which exact brand, and which sub-type within
that brand, when they add "toothpaste" (or whatever) to the list.
 

I had a new GF once. She was coming over to visit for the first time.
She phoned to say 'I'm lost - which way do I go?'
I said, 'well where are you now then?' And she said 'I don't know, I'm lost!'
Sheesh.

Better than "You got the wrong one!" when you get home.

 Yup.  A phone call to clarify which of the 17 sub-types of 'crest
toothpaste' (or worse, the list just says 'toothpaste', so now there's
9 different brands, each with 17 sub-brands) is really desired beats
the "you got the wrong one" outcome.
 

Some women are simply not worth the hassle.
