There are things that occur in the life and times of working retail that well quite frankly often have me puzzled, and yes at times even speechless! So you can only imagine my response to the latest request from a couple that entered the store.
Do you have 2 pairs of these jeans? One in a size 8 and one in a 12? Here is why I was puzzled it was the man asking, and at the time I thought he was asking for his wife and was wondering why he thought she was a 8 and a 12. But oh ladies you are going to die when I tell you this! I go find the jeans, both sizes and then proceed to hand them over. He hands the 8 to his wife and then he and his wife go to the back to try on the jeans!
Now I think that I am a pretty open minded person, but the idea of my guy sporting the same jeans as I am is well to be honest a bit creepy! While watching this situation I was biting my lip so hard to keep from laughing that it is still swollen! You see the fact that he was all out of sorts because "My thighs are too wide" for the jeans dang near sent me into the hospital for stitches for my lip! At what point did this man decided that he was meant to sport woman's jeans, and match his wife?
I mean the conversation had to have been epic. "Honey will you wear the same jeans I do? " "Oh hell to the ya I will!" Go grab your purse girl and lets start coordinating all of our outfits and accessories! At that point they both skip to the store for a coordinated shopping trip of nirvana.
I don't know about y'all but the last thing I want is competition when I get dressed up, and dressing alike is best when done in Disneyland with a herd of small children! So I leave you with this vision: A man and woman in matching blinged out pocketed jeans, matching shirts, watches, rings, and sunglasses. Now run for your closet and make sure this never happens to you!
