Semi-humorous CC story

[Virtualmatt]

Some background information on myself: I'm about to turn 23, just graduated college and am off to law school next week. Yesterday, I went clothes shopping with my mom to buy some "business casual" clothing for law school.

One of the stores we wound up at was Men's Warehouse. As usual, I had my Walther PPK holstered IWB under a fairly tight t-shirt. Even though I'm thin, the pistol conceals perfectly with almost no printing.

As soon as we entered the store, we were greeted by a middle-aged salesman. Now if you're unfamiliar with Men's Warehouse, know that their salesmen follow you around like they're selling cars on a used-car lot. Generally I shoo salesmen away (I don't like being bothered), but my mom loves them. As she was bankrolling this trip, I had little say

Throughout shopping, our salesman kept making obnoxious comments, and was acting like a fairly pretentious prick. After we picked out a few shirts, he grabbed his tape measurer and said I needed pants. I told him we weren't interested, but thanks. He ignored me and went to wrap the measurer around my waist anyway, so I backed up a bit and said "It's alright, I'm a 32"".

"Well, I'm measuring you anyway," he said as he quickly went to wrap the tape around me again. Not expecting him to disregard what I said, he caught me off guard a bit and ended up feeling my pistol.

He disgustedly said "Lose the cellphone".

I responded, "I'm a 32, alright? Let's leave it at that. I know my size quite well."

He then tapped my pistol, pointed his finger at me like a father to a small child and angrily said "Lose the cellphone."

At that point I was getting frustrated and told him "That's not a cellphone." His eyes opened comically wide and he immediately backed down.

"Ok, you're a 32!" he quickly exclaimed before immediately shuffling through the pants I wasn't interested in buying.

My mom glared at me the rest of the time we were in there '

Afterthought: That story was much longer and much less interesting than it was in my head… Ah well!

Should have told him, "That ain't a cell phone, I"m just happy to see you."

Oh, wow—I forgot a crucial part of the story! Immediately after I said it wasn't a cellphone, my mom exclaimed "Are you carrying your gun?!"

She's not a huge fan of guns, and she certainly isn't discrete

[bighornjd]

At least he didn't grab your 'cellphone' and try to remove it himself....








You would think he would have backed off after the first time you declined...

You must be a handsome man!

Can I change your socks? Hahaha

He then tapped my pistol, pointed his finger at me like a father to a small child and angrily said "Lose the cellphone."

At that point I was getting frustrated and told him "Three quick facts for you sir. One, I'm here shopping for clothes for attending law school. Two, laying a single finger on someone is legally considered assault in Pennsylvania. Three, you're going to go get your manager. Now"

Bold is what I would have done. But I'm an ass.

Edit the OP to add that line and the story is much more interesting. I hate salemen with a passion and if they come near me with their damn tape I'd likely tell him "There's 13 wraps in a properly tied noose, that tapes long enough for it..." and let him figure out the rest.

What kind of comments? After the first obnoxious comment, I would have asked for the manager and/or told him off and walked out

OP couldn't have done anything. Don't forget, his mommy was there helping him buy school clothes. Wasn't she in control of the situation?
