Always pay attention when following your girlfriend around an underwear shop

A salutary lesson for us all here. When following your partner out shopping, then make sure you pay attention not matter how uninterested you might be.

Especially if, like this chap who calls himself WaitingOnNetwork on Reddit, you’re in an underwear shop.

And it prompted people to share stories when something similar happened to them.

StromboliOctopus:: ‘I was in a bookstore with my bald headed buddy when we were early 20s. We had just got our first apartment together and were interested in learning to cook so when I saw him engrossed in reading a cookbook, I snuck up quietly and I put my head in between his face and the book, and asked very loudly “WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, THE FRUGAL GOURMET?!?!”. It wasn’t my buddy, just a very startled and confused middle aged bald guy.’

Someone needed an update.

Baudilaire: How did the explanation go down?

WaitingOnNetwork: ‘Girlfriend saw the security guard and came to meet us outside, where we figured out what happened. We were asked to leave as the lady was justifiably creeped out, but we’ve not been banned or anything. I’m now sitting in the car on the drive home being relentlessly mocked.’

In short …

MagicPan: ‘You had the adult version of grabbing a hand and realising it’s not your mother/father xD’
