I saw this tweet tonight and cracked up because it’s so something that would happen to me. I then fell down a rabbit hole of all the responses…each one funnier than the last.
Wanted to share the laughs with you so I’ve compiled the most popular and funny responses here…enjoy!

Friend of my daughter’s whilst shopping knocked into a mannequin which fortunately didn’t fall over. When she got home she found a hand in her bag.

I was stood waiting for my friend in M&S one lunchtime and a lady came up to me and gently touched my coat. She wasn’t concentrating and thought I was a manikin.

I once owned a beautiful cashmere scarf (a gift) and dropped it in TK Maxx. When I went back to get it they were putting a bloody TAG ON IT getting it ready to sell. I about wrestled it out the poor shop girls hands.

I’ve barely been in a shop since I apologised for almost walking into a woman who was coming towards me, then spent what felt like a very long time trying to side step her, eventually realising it was a full length mirror and I was side stepping myself 😳

I was once in a shoe shop with my wife and she pointed out a pair of shoes to me that she thought were really ugly – only to discover that they belonged to another lady who was trying some different shoes on!

Don’t fret. I was looking at dresses at a market stall once and a lady unzipped my dress and started to take the shoulder straps down, unsurprisingly I turned around in alarm and she screamed, for some bizarre reason she had mistaken me for a (rather oddly shaped) mannequin

If it’s any consolation (and let’s be honest, it’s not), my mom once tried on a sweater at a thrift store before noticing two two extra arm holes mid-torso. Dog sweater.

I may as well add mine – whilst shopping with my hubby, I put my arm in his, squeezing and asked would he buy me something I’d seen..I actually felt his shock…it wasn’t my hubby – he had walked away without telling me…he thought it was funny I had scared a man half to death.😂

Reminds me that some woman tried my shoes on at Nordstrom Rack while I was trying on another pair and walked away to find a mirror 😬

Totally not same, but up there ref sartorial embarrassment, and a story I don’t tire of telling: my wife spent an entire day in meetings at some bank in Canary Wharf – plus commute there/back – with the pair of knickers she’s put in her hair at breakfast as a make-shift scrunchie

In college my friend and I were yelled at by the mgr in a dept store. She said we were talking too much and laughing. She told us to get back to work and straighten out the clothes on the racks. We were customers! She almost fainted when she realized.

My local supermarket frequently puts trollies filled with reduced items in random locations around the store. Recently when shopping with my daughter I happened upon a trolley filled with choice bargains. I was just about to take a few when “Mother! That’s someone’s shopping “

#15 Not exactly the same, but once I was in a Target dressing room trying on a shirt in front of the full length mirror and saw I had left the house in two completely different shoes. This is what happens when you have 3 children LOL.
Tried on a pair of shoes in Marks similar to a pair I had on. When I got home realised I was wearing one of the shoes I had tried on and the old one I had been wearing!

My cousin was at a wedding reception and kept feeling her hair fall down on her shoulders. She pinned it back up. Turns out it was the hair of the lady standing back to back with her

I was in a charity shop, seen a lovely pram started pushing it around the shop until a poor woman came and grabbed it off me with her tiny sleeping baby inside 🤦♀️ luckily I was very pregnant at the time and she didn’t have me arrested 😂

Was at a coffee shop and a girl yelled “anyone want a coffee? I need to spend $5 more to use my card.” I piped up and said I do. I offered her cash for the coffee of course but it was later that I realized she had a group of friends she was yelling at.

I once took my child to a meetup picnic for the camp she was going to attend. We brought food and stayed a while and ate and as we were leaving I saw the actual group across the park. We'd been eating with a local church group who were too polite to ask who the hell we were.
