How to discourage someone from buying something stupid
Disclaimer: if you have my kind of luck, this should occur naturally, as it did in my case.
I wish I could say I was out and about minding my own business, but I wasn’t exactly. In my joy for life, and of course shopping, I couldn’t help but laugh at the different mannequins and store displays. There is one store in particular who shall remain nameless - partially because I don’t know the name, just that they have the ugliest zebra print leggings. (If you live in Fredericton, you probably know which store I am referring to, since they seem to be proud if the zebra print venture.)
I easily get side tracked. Back to the point.
I was out, and noticing some clothes I don’t particularly care for. I am trying very hard not to say the word hate. For example, as this one is the focus of this story; The Superman t-shirt or anything for that matter. There is only a certain age group that can pull of the Superman trademark gear, and no it’s not in double digits.
I was in the store where I thought no other customer was, not that it would have mattered. I stumble upon the Superman tee and just can’t stop myself for making fun of grown men who live out their superhero fantasies by wearing the trademark. As a person from the opposite sex, I still wonder at what time exactly the superhero undies and sheet are considered immature. I can tell you from a woman’s perspective, i.e. my double-digit rule.
I can spare you all the comments, by they basically go as follows: ANYONE WHO FITS IN THIS SHIRT IS TOO OLD TO WEAR IT, but that’s just a personal opinion. The same can be said for many different types of clothes and that definitely includes some women out there.
As I am making major fun of the tee, a guy walks out of the dressing room giving me a look. I generally don’t pay attention, except for the fact that he had the same Superman tee in his hand…. I could hardly contain my laughing. I have the best of luck.
You’re welcome from preventing you from buying that shirt. I’m sorry to the store for loosing you a sale.
