After this weekend and making one of the most memorable 'red-faced mistakes' in the past few years I had to ask. No I didn't leave the wife at the gas station again
.
We were at REI getting some outdoor clothing. I found a nice pair of hiking pants and the wife found some cute shorts (on sale of course). She follows me to the dressing room area in the middle of the store. These are 3 small, joined cubicles all attached and are on wheels/casters. They bottom sit about 8-9 inches off the ground. I go into the first one, she goes in to the one I thought was next to me. Turns out there is another dressing area between us with an entrance on the opposite side. That part is important. So I finish putting on the new pants and pick up my jeans off the floor. I can see one of my wifes sock clad feet underneath the barrier in the next dressing room. So I'm going to scare her right? Just a little fun. I kneel down and grab her ankle with both hands and I said something I dont recall. Then she screams and yells "what the F--- are you doing you pervert, Security!!! Help! You sick pervert". It was at that precise moment I realized it wasnt my wife. Within a minute or two, 2 security officers from the store next door arrived as well as some management types. And the small incident had the attention of everyone in the store. It all got sorted out and was an innocent mistake and no harm done but geezus was I embarrassed. The only thing I'm thankful for is she turned out to be fairly ugly and the wife found that rather funny and jealousy didnt rear its ugly head. I got another story about the time I walked in on my parents.... October 1, 2005. Yep the date sticks with me. And the time I was giving a presentation to 15 employees and 10 vendors. That didnt end well either. Lets hear a few boys.......
