My best friend (female) is a designer label snob and has this brand name obsession. Recently we were out shopping (as bessie mates do) and she was proudly wearing her new t-shirt with 'GUESS' sprawled across her chest. Her bag strategically placed so that 'GUESS' was visible at all times.
Anyway - coffee break called and we grabbed seats in the coffee shop. We were approached by two guys who clearly thought their luck would be in (sorry guys but our hearts weren't with you). One guy, out of the blue, said: '36D', to which I replied: 'Sorry?' (I mean was this some new coffee brand - not a clue what he was on about). He again said: '36D or maybe 38D'. I think he cottoned on to the blank expressions sprawled across our faces (and NO - neither my friend or I are blonde;-), and said bra size. He looked at my friend and said: 'Your t-shirt says, 'GUESS' across the chest so I guessed you wanted me to make a guess at your bra size.
I couldn't help it - I tried to stifle the giggle 'cus her face was like thunder. Seriously she was so proud of 'the' t-shirt that morning and clearly mortified that the guy hadn't made some remark to indicate she had 'good taste', but chose to take the 'p***' in a nice way;-) - but I couldn't help it and the giggle spread and became infectious and myself and these two guys were laughing non-stop.
My friend and I left the coffee shop and she raced into a 'high street brand' store, bought a new t-shirt and wore that for the rest of the day.
She did forgive me lol but credit to the guy who made me laugh that day - I guess guys can be cute ;-). She's still designer label obsessed, but now avoids any item with wording across the chest;-)
OMG how funny is that!!! I would have had to laugh too, don't feel bad about that!!!! I think I would have laughed had I been the friend in the shirt...that guy had a bit of wit about him!! Isn't it funny, how when we really need to laugh..sometimes it takes a stranger to do it for ya?
