Underpants Shopping Buffer Zone Interlopers

[planet planet]

Quality rant. I won't buy underwear if there's anyone within 10 feet of me. If someone enters the buffer zone I'll walk away, pretend to look at other clothes, then return when they've gone.

I'm going to stalk you next time you're buying underwear. Try being a female and walking in Victoria's Secret. Everything's brazen, on display, and there's normally plenty of dudes in there.

I just rip open the pack and try it on right there.

Yeah, I don't know how women do it. The guys are always standing around extremely awkwardly, trying not to look too long in any one place.

Is it really that hard deciding between Sponge Bob or Iron Man undies? I mean, really?! As long as you weren't in the "crotchless" or "thong" section, not a big deal.

I'm not understanding why people are embarrased about this. You're not buying condoms right next to an 86 year old lady buying foot powder. Everyone wears underwear. OK, most people.

Yeah, doesn't bother me in the least...surprised it does others.

It does bother me when anyone stays in my personal space too long, it doesn't matter if I'm buying soda, I hate that...

It's true, and worse. Every time I find myself in there, it's impossible to avoid mental images of the person wearing whatever they're looking at. Sometimes, this is good, but most of the time...it's not.

It's just weird sifting through packs of boxer shorts to find one with the greatest number of desirable patterns while someone watches you. I don't like strangers seeing me put thought into my underwear. If I was just grabbing a pack and walking off I wouldn't care, but it takes some consideration. You don't want to end up with a pair that, should a member of the opposite sex get to see it, looks completely ridiculous.

There's an easy solution to this. Don't buy underwear in packs.

Or you could just sport string bikini briefs, and come to grips with the fact that you'll look utterly ridiculous to any young lady lucky enough to see them.

Also, god forbid, you find a pack that has desirable patterns and in your haste to get away from prying eyes, you don't notice that they are open fly or even worse, no fly.
This is why I never rush.
