Things Women Say When Shopping: Story #4,389
On the frontlines of fashion, the horror stories can be brutal: women over-trending themselves e.g. the latest bag with the latest shoes with latest jeans with the latest scent, all in one fitting; sandals and socks; slips that show; and more.
When the weather was warmer, some days ago, and the store was packed with people, a non-descript woman came in and perused the racks. After a good 20 minutes of quiet and easy-mannered browsing, the lady’s cell phone rings. With Chanel suit in hand, she quickly and boldly retorts to a deep male voice “I know, I know, I’m on my way.” 30 minutes later, as she has now moved on to the St. John department, the phone rings again. This time, the emboldened male voice is bellowing on the other end of the phone: you know he’s waiting for her. She quickly raises her voice, as the majority of the store stares and can’t help but to overhear, “I know we’re late, I’m waiting at the bus stop with a whole bunch of people. There’s nothing I can do if the bus isn’t coming! You know how slow the 86th St. crosstown can be…”
Perhaps shopping is THAT good, that it’s worth making a husband impatient. The onlookers smiled, cracked a small giggle and then kept on their merry way perusing the racks. The woman ended up leaving the store with two large brown paper bags filled with her BIS shopping about 20 minutes later; however, it remains to be seen how exactly she managed to explain her tardiness when arriving with so much shopping.
