Embarrassing Shopping Incident

Duke said:
In one of my first trips to the UK back in the 90s, I had an afternoon to kill and decided to visit the legendary "Harrods" department store in central London.

As I was strolling through this amazing store, I was so busy gawking I literally walked up on and through a tiny nun. Down she went, it would have been a 15 yd penalty for a block in the back. I immediately bent down to help her up, repeating "I'm so sorry, Sister." As I reached to her, her head turned to me and I realized.....she wasn't a nun. It was an elderly Muslim woman in a black burka, and she was chattering away a mile a minute (in what I assumed was Arabic) as she was helped to her feet. She was not happy.

Within a minute of me running in to her, store security (two large men of Middle Eastern heritage) arrived on the scene. One of them talked to me in English, the other to the woman in her language. I contritely explained exactly what happened, and apologized. No idea what she told the other guy, but at my first opportunity I beat feet and left the store. I kept imagining the BBC headline, "DoD Official Assaults Elderly Muslim Woman in Harrods."

Oh that had to be a hot situation for a minute. Still it is comical.

So were drunk and having an all day from the night before party at my place years ago when I was single and in my early 20s.
We wake up and realize we need food,beer,liquor, cigs,ect. So if course we drink before going to the grocery store with our buddy driving us who is high ranking at the sheriff's office. We arrive and our buddy who is the store manager is there and discounting everything since he was coming over after work. Then we see him! Our 1 buddy we have marked fir revenge for sticking us with his bar tab! He also has my adidas sweatpants on i left at his house and being drunk I wanted them...lol! So we hatch a plan! They distract him and i take my pants back! In our defense we thought he had shorts on under my pants. So we executed the plan! What we didnt realize is he only had the pants on and was finally talking to this girl he had a crush in forever!
They approached him from one direction and I came uo the isle from behind. They give me the signal to abort, but im focused,stealthy,and drunk and knew this would be hilarious!
Well it happens! I ambush him and yank the pants down he falls which helps me get them off of him and then I realized I was now starting at his Wang! I have no choice, but to kick my flip flops off and run for the doors! I throw our carts behind me as I take off to slow him! He is dying laughing trying to catch up and everyone in the store is cracking up!
I gave him the pants back and went in and apologized to this girl and said he's a great guy! We're the morons! She looked at him and said...these are the kind of people you hangout with?! He said...yep..and the were married 2yrs later! She actually loved our antics and would participate. Though she was really intense about it all...very competitive..lol !
