Mind Your Own Business

This post is for my husband (quasi). I lost it over a incident and he thinks I am hilarious about it, so he told me I had to blog on it and see what everyone else thought, so here it goes.

Yesterday we were in a store for ladies (perhaps with the letters V and S in it), and I was standing at a table looking for my size of a particular item when a man standing next to me holds up a pair and says "I don't know what color you are looking for but I think this is your size". I was speechless for perhaps the second time in my life and I know I went white. I just pretended to ignore him and prayed that he would go away, he didn't but a sales associate walked over and gave him assistance.

I gathered what I needed and raced for the check out line, all the while my husband was laughing hysterically at me. Typically he gets embarassed easily and I am the one laughing at him. It really bothered me, and I don't know why. I know he wasn't hitting on me, but I also didn't find it appropriate that he would offer to help me, isn't that why my husband was with me? I tend to be pretty sheepish in these stores to begin with, maybe it is how I grew up but I do know that the last thing I need is for someone else to give me their vote, especially a complete MALE stranger.

Umm ... yeah ... I'd be freaked out if some guy I didn't know, held up a pair of underwear and told me they would be my size. First of all, why are you even wondering what my size was. And did he grab the first pair he saw in that size or did he pick it out just for you? Eww. Creepy.
But, I also think my husband would think it was funny too.

I would have freaked out too. That is weird.

Um...definitely inapropriate. Probably some perve trolling the store. Mind your own business buddy! I'm glad the sales girl rescued you...

Um yeah, totally inappropriate!!! I would have been speechless probably.

I would have looked at him with a straight face and said, "Good call. You, however, should stay away from the patterns. Solid colors would be much more flattering."

Then walk away.

That guy was a total creep! You should have told him "No, they look more like your size". Not that I would have said that. I would have just ran out and never went back. I'm a big baby that way and I don't like creepy dudes in under*wear stores.
