LoL, My daughters used to get great joy trying to embarrass me when shopping Till one day I got my revenge, by picking up said items a shouting do you need them. In front of a busy supermarket. Funny enough they don't want to go shopping with me anymore. (what a shame)

My number 1 rule was if I have to buy pantyhose, I always bought tampons at the same time whether she needed them or not. At least the cashier wouldn't be thinking I was buying the pantyhose for myself.

I've had to pick them up a few times over the years. I can relate to the searching to find the right ones. I just want to grab and go, but its always takes me a couple of minutes, there's a whole aisle of the damn things. That's funny about the pantyhose Destructis. Good strategy though.

The video didn't show the bit where he got home and was told off for buying the wrong ones.
I've been despatched once or twice before on my own to buy some feminine hygiene products. It sounds simple enough when she explains what she wants, but once you're in the shop and confronted with a whole aisle of the things it's utterly bewildering.
And yeah, I always end up buying the wrong ones.
On a related note, what happens when a group of Roman Catholic priests get trapped in Ireland's largest lingerie department?

You beat me to it. "Wait until you have to shop for the above mentioned items for your daughter."
Humbling experience.

When I had to buy them I would give her a pen and paper telling her to write down exactly what she wanted. If I got home and they weren't right I would show her the paper where she wrote down the wrong ones.

Doesn't bother me in the least. My Wife says I am a Man's man. Ha. I even do her returns if needed. unfortunately, I got myself in trouble not long ago. A woman's store, I was returning some of her clothing she didn't want. I was my usual self, and popped off some odd comment when asked "Why are you returning it?" I said something like "didn't fit me right", "not my color", or "didn't match my shoes." Normally, this gets me a smile from the lady behind the counter. This time, it was a guy. And he got a sideways smile going. Uh. Oh. The light was dawning in my pea brain, that maybe he might have taken me serious... And then the little old lady next to me, says that she used to work with men that were cross-dressers. "They were so nice. And stylish."
Crap. First time I recall ever being knocked off my game. Needless to say, I hoofed it out of there without saying anything else...

The thread title was much more interesting when I didn't see the second part after the comma...

You should know that you shouldn't say stuff like that in Texas! Lol

A wonderful example of the marketplace meeting highly differing and changing consumer demand!
