But it says on the sign......

I am an innocent sort of chap. I bumble through the day doing the odd chore, talking to folk and myLotting rather more than I ought. However, I do try to make sure that I visit the right shop for the right items. I go to the Butcher for meat, the baker for bread and the Candlestick Maker for candlesticks. So when The Boss announced that she needed new clothes I went with her to the Ladieswear shop. Now I am your average sort of bloke in these places. I can stomach a few minutes of umming and ahhing over frocks etc, but after a while it all starts to pall. I spotted a sign that seemed to answer my question about where might be a good place to sit down whilst she who must be obeyed assuaged her lust for new feminine attire. I noticed on arrival that I appeared to be the only man in this leisure area which had been cunningly located in the middle of what appeared to be the underwear department. I smiled at ladies young and old who were there perusing potential intimate appareil and looked away as the assistants measured others for their..ahem.... well chesty support things. After a while, a matronly lady came up to me and asked if she could help. I said that I was waiting for my wife. "...and she is where Sir?" Matron asked. "Downstairs looking at dresses" I replied brightly. I had no idea that I had said the wrong thing. But I soon found myself being marched off the premises with words like "pervert and Peeping Tom" ringing in my ears. I don't understand it. I needed to linger. Isn't the Lingerie the place to do it? Have you ever made a mistake like that?

Ha ha p1key...Bless...fancy being escorted out for lingering in the lingerie department. What did the Boss say when you explained why you had to marched out?? How did you manage to linger so far into the lingerie department!!
So glad it wasn't in the shop I was in today!!!! I had a friend to help me buy some clothes, I felt right posh having someone picking out clothes for me....only thing is it was an expensive shopping trip!!! No Christmas pressies for me now!!! lol

Poor, p1key, just needed a little lingering time. Pervert, Peeping Tom, P1kef1sh.... rather alliterative don't you think?

Hahaha, nice one. If they're going to complain, they shouldn't put the only decent seat so close to the lingerie fitting rooms! I've never seen benches or anything in the jeans department, and they don't appreciate it when you sit on the few available seats in the shoe department either, unless you're trying on footwear.

Snaps for you Mr. p1ke!!! I cannot help but laugh at your trip to ladieswear...if that is what the sign says what are you supposed to do? I mean if they don't want men sitting there someone needs to CHANGE THAT SIGN!!! Why should you be abused for doing what you read? Some people are so touchy heh? Fortunately being woman I have not had such difficulties but I am enjoying your experience to the extreme!!
You just keep them coming I need a good chuckle at least once a day....Mamablaze!!!

Hi p1key,
You have just set off me into a coughing fit and nearly had an accident for laughing so much, no wonder the lady sent you marching, I can just picture you looking so innocent whilst admiring the senery, I love you to bits, you'r so funny, and no I haven't made any mistakes like that. Hey that reminds me of Father Ted and his priest getting lost in the womens lingerie department, you could have sid you were lost, hehehehe. Hugs.

P1key, P1key, P1key I so wish there was a tutting or head shaking smiley!!!
Mind you they could have mistaken the fact that you might want to buy something nice for your wife for Christmas in which case how dare they!! LOL. I think if the lingerie department was just across from the changing rooms you might have got away with it but your wife was on a completely different floor to you and you looked as though you had gone upstairs specifically to root through the ladies undies, shame on you Pikey!!

Ohhh, P1ke you know how to give me a giggle..lol..So did your wife box your ears for looking at all the young pretty ladies? I haven't made that mistake that I know off or remember.The other day while we were at the grocery store little sis had to tinkle so we headed for the bathrooms and a woman brought her son who was about 7 into the woman's bathroom and my little sister kept telling him he was in the wrong place. She kept looking at me saying sis he's a boy he's not allowed in here. I told her that as long as he was with his mom he could. She just thought that the silliest thing.

LolI don't think your mom would let you far past the doors before she directed you back out. I can understand a woman not wanting to leave her kid unattended at the store while she used the potty. Maybe I should rephrase that to her..that only young boys should be allowed with their moms.

"Chesty support things," indeed! ROTFL!

I don't know Hank Hill, but I can imagine. I might have said 'bra" but why use one word when three will do! LOL. Anyway, just to prove that I am familiar with such items, I have even worn one on myLot! Pic is on my profile page. It was done for a challenge.

I don't feel that I need to see the thing now, you've described it all so well. Austin eh? I have a number of friends in Texas, San Marcos is the nearest though to you I think. Ann Richards? Never heard of her. I'm English and I don't watch TV (except the news) or movies unless I am taken at daughter-point to the cinema. LOL.

A sense of humour is all that we've got left now. I mean you've got to be daft to still live here!
I've never been to Texas although I am working on it. I have friends in Dallas/Fort Worth, Weatherford and San Marcos. I'm thinking of renting a house for a few weeks and having an extended holiday there so that I can see everyone! But then what do I do about my friends in Missouri, The Carolinas, Arizona...............

No i have never done that. But what i did was probably worse. While in mexico at a dog race track. I thought i knew the difference between male and female in spanish. Upon entering the restroom i discovered i didnt know. I walked into the mens room. The urinal along the wall...all the guys lined up there....my most imbarissing moment ever in my life.

You should've told the lady you were waiting for you boss perusing for stuff and you needed to sit down. Since you haven't done anything wrong and just wanted to sit down, it might be a bit awkward really being in that section, lol, but what could you do really... like go stray around and have your boss looking where you've gone off to? Sometimes the truth isn't always too bad. Standing up for yourself isn't too bad either. But perhaps try not to stray too close to those areas unless you want the ladies to get the wrong ideas. cheers!
