Okay, so today DH and I went to Wal-Mart to take care of a "to-buy" list that's been building up for a couple of weeks.  And apparently the weirdos got day passes today, because oh my god!

We're looking at t-shirts for DH.  I turn around, and there is this rather large middle-aged man, whipping his shirt off right there in the middle of the Men's Clothing department.  It looked like he was about to try on a shirt, right there and then!  I didn't stay to watch.  We got around the corner, and I turned to my husband and said "What...the...hell!"

DH replied, "Note to self: wash EVERYTHING before wearing it!"

So then we go to the lingerie department for me to score some socks.  Across the aisle from us are the women's dressing rooms.  While I'm lost in sock-land, I hear DH saying, "What is WITH this store today??  I feel like I missed a memo - everyone walk around naked at Wal-Mart today!"

I look up to see a middle-aged woman modelling her underwear in front of the dressing rooms!  Granted, she had a body to be proud of at any age, so it wasn't like I was scarred for life or something.  But there she was, parading around in front of a mirror, in panties and a bra, asking her shopping partner what they thought of this pair compared to that other pair.

And then, the topper...when she came out to "model," she got locked out of her dressing room and had to ask the poor desk lady to let her back in!

Oh...my...GOD!  What a day.

    Wow, it sounds like you've been shopping at the Walmart by my house! :-P It's nice to see that the craziness spans past California sometimes. I can't believe that woman was outside the dressing room modeling underwear! I never see that happen, but if she looked good, then maybe I need to pay closer attention next time :-P

    You know, as we were leaving the store, I started thinking about blogging this and I realized that this could easily have been one of your "Wacky L.A." stories!

    Now I'm wondering if it wasn't some kind of horrible porno movie setup.  Like "Striptease on Aisle 4" or something.  Oooh, I should totally turn this post into a porn movie name contest: if you were going to write a porno set in Wal-Mart, what would you call it?  lol!

    Soooo glad I don't shop at your Wal-Mart, nyt. :-D That woman outside the dressing rooms must have had a lot of -- something -- to be parading around like that! How funny...at least she wasn't a few hundred pounds overweight or anything, I guess!

    Wowee!  The only thing that happens at my WalMart is my credit card balance goes up.  I think I shop at the wrong WalMart!

    i didn't know you could try on underwear? ...isn't that .....kinda.....wrong and gross?
  • nytquill17 said on Jul 28, 2008....
    She had her own underwear on underneath, like you do to try on a bathing suit (I know this because it was a wildly different color than whatever she was trying on).  Then again, she might have been trying on a bathing suit, one of those skimpy ones that you can't tell from underwear.

    LOL too funny!!  Yes, I always wonder how people get to the point where they think walking around in public "naked" is acceptable.  Especially the woman.  I don't think it's ever been okay to walk around where strangers can see you in your underwear despite the argument that it's no worse than a bikini.

    I have to admit, I kind of get the guy.  Not saying I'm HAPPY about it :p  But given what I go through to get my guy to buy new clothes for himself, there was a corner of my brain saying, "At least he's trying it on..."  lol!

    But the woman, I dunno.  If you have the self-confidence to parade around in your undies in front of everyone at Wal-Mart, shouldn't you have the confidence to make a decision by yourself about which clothes you like, therefore eliminating the need to parade and ask your friend's opinion?
