Men Trapped In Shopping Hell
Instagram user @miserable_men collects hilariously heart-breaking photos of boyfriends and husbands who followed their girlfriends and wives into shopping malls and got trapped there for an eternity…

This would be me. I hate shopping(im a woman). I go alone and get it done as fast as possible.
LuEle
Ugh I hate people who takes photos of strangers without asking permission first and then plaster them all over the internet :(
MonserrSans2
Yeah this is why I just give the wife the CC and stay home and play video games. 22yrs of marriage and still going. =)
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
The last one looks like he just finished having shameful sex with the mannequin waiting for his wife.
PrivateOstrich242
I am a man and I love clothes shopping. Look good feel good!
Books4lyfeYo
My husband plays hide and seek with my 2yo daughter while I shop and we meet up at the end.... I can hear them from all over the store.
MetalJesus
That's adorable.
sharesurinals
Actually it's tactical. Do this long enough and you'll get away with looking in the dressing rooms.
fractalsphere
#5, no fucks given
SocietyOfSensation
Yeah, looks chill as fuck actually. How is that hell?
SatanDoorbell
get these men beer
hitzchicky
This is why I don't go shopping with my boyfriend. Why would we put our loved ones through this??
DJThuglifeSupreme
As a guy, I think I'm in the minority when I say I have fun shopping with my gf...
DarthFutuza
It depends entirely on what is being shopped for. Clothing is the most boring thing in the world.
DJThuglifeSupreme
Clothing/mall I find fun with her
weaselbee
I wish there were more like you
wlfman
I mean, does she model the clothes for you? that's about the only reason I can think of that would work for me
DJThuglifeSupreme
It also helps when you appreciate your gf/having a gf. Makes spending time and doing things others would find boring more enjoyable
yabisaurusrex
thats how my fiance and i are. sure shopping can be boring, but that's why you make it entertaining. find weird things to look at and stuff
DJThuglifeSupreme
She holds her own bags of stuff, asks my opinion on what she's trying on and I usually sit in the dressing area with her.
FightinTXAg
Why the fuck would you drag your man there if he doesn't want to go?
Skankhunt46
wtf no one has awesome ass games on their phones...?? Waiting for wifey is like going to the arcade for me.
Nova5269
I, for one, love clothes shopping with my SO. Especially for bras and lingerie
terbril
Ditto. Even if it's just regular clothing, it's nice that she values my opinion on what looks good on her from a fashion and BF standpoint.
Nova5269
Exactly. Plus I'm sure she really appreciates you actually caring enough to have an actual thought out opinion on her clothes.
psychodoughboy
Yous two got the right idea.
terbril
(Plus, hey, free show.)
AdoIfHitIer
Ok, that's actually a good point. If I had a girlfriend I'd love doing that.
Nova5269
It's stupid that something that small has to be such a big deal to guys, but doing it will make you really stand out.

I remember my mom dragging me through department stores. I was so bored I pretended to be Superman, then lost her in some racks. 1/2
bumurutu
I got lost in your mom's rack once also
FabulousBadass
A salesman found me and asked for my name. When she heard there was a little boy lost named Superman she knew I was safe in security.
Adiktedgottaregisternow
I did that too....except now I'm grown up and like to shop as much as mom. I was trained early.
myweaknessisstrong
god bless those stores with actual chairs. fuck those stores with inadequate seating. the struggle is real.
komsons
I once was in the H&M in Amsterdam for five hours, while we have the same shop at home. I still have nightmares. Combat got me less scars.
ChloePrice
I wish I was remotely attractive. My hypothetical wife could go shopping for ages, I love that shit, man.
IPutAHexOnYou4c6f7665206d65
you don't need to be attractive, look at these men. None is a model, they just found someone they clicked with.
billiebitkiller
why take them then? if it was reversed, I would just be thinking "this is time I'm not playing video games right now". WHY DO THIS?
CaptainGrowler
I always just flirted with all the cute women coming out of the dressing room. Then the old lady would give me that "oh you" look
pedunculated
As a woman, I hate shopping.
kidnapthesantyclaws
As a female, I have gotten stuck in stores for hours as my dad tries and retries every shirt he can
ImIsStranger
Don't lie to make it seem like it goes both ways. We know it doesn't.
intris
Female here. My guy friend dragged me and his girlfriend shopping. Every item was tried on and asked "do these pants make my butt look 1/?
intris
big?" Followed by "does this make my junk stick out too much?" It was torture. I will never go shopping with a man ever again.
parishe13
I used to have to do this for my mother and grandmother for hours as a young boy. At the end of the day I felt like a pack mule.
TardigradeTheDestroyer
The play of light and shadow in #3 is fantastic! I can really feel his pain.
delpharseven
Those chairs(?) in #5 look super comfy.
ThatSmoothFuck
Yeah I so want one.
RemainsspacebarUnknown
the internet has ruined me, all i see is a chair that never / rarely gets cleaned and a lot of people sit in... i wouldnt sit in it.
BukkakeAntiAgingCream
With wearing caprices don't think #10 is shopping with his girlfriend
TardigradeTheDestroyer
I dunno... Maybe she dressed him
ExactlyZeroNipplesSeen
Pretty sure a caprice is a car.
Skawomplious
Capri, I think is what you were going for there. But those aren't.
thefuzziestofbutts
I'm female and I do not enjoy venturing to the mall. Surely I'm not the only one.
EarthEyreWindnFire
i feel ya. total sensory overload, too many ratchet-smelling people. I don't go shopping, I go buying
fofalooza
I'm a guy and I used to feel the same way. Now, give me a kitchen supply, Best Buy/game store, or bookstore and I can easily shop for hours.
Curiousone545
Depends on the shopping/interests. Bookstores & I= hours. Clothes shopping? In & out. It depends on your passion. Men are the same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cynistera
Female and I loathe shopping.
MollyBloomsDeadDreams
I hate shopping! So! Much!
DAMMITSTOPSTEALINGMYFAVORITEUSERNAMES
Nope. Crowds give me headaches I try to listen to everything at once
AGNBoutoforder
I hate shopping. I try to get clothes that I know will last so I don't have to shop too much.
impastabowl
too. many. people.
faebala
When I do go in, I get overwhelmed by all the people, forget why I'm there, walk in circles for 5 minutes, and leave again. Terrible.
TheRightonRed
There's dozens of you. Dozens!
Paperstars
I buy clothes maybe...three times a year? If I'm at a mall I'm usually in the stores like Think Geek...
mariya54
Woman here, hate shopping for clothes
hugjob
I'm getting fear sweat just thinking about that fitting room lighting casting it's sickly glare across the cellulite on my thighs...
Copperbrat
"fear sweat" +1
wafflesnpancakes
When having a brief stint of self-confidence, just go to a fitting room and you'll be put back in your place.
captlush
That's why I'll only go on a Tuesday afternoon.
binaballerina86
I hate going shopping. If I go b/c I need something, I'll never find what I need. I only go to the mall for very targeted shopping.
Purrsist
There are dozens of us!
ImguritisIsNotCureable
As a female, I look like these guys while my SO shops...I hate it
Cere4l
for some reason ill always consider a guy that takes more than 10 minutes picking out clothes weird >_>
ImguritisIsNotCureable
I consider him weird too; we can't walk past shoes without stopping
Cere4l
if i would add up all the time i spent watching at shoes.. i might be able to reach a hour. last time i jumped the old one and just 1/2
Cere4l
2/2 asked for a new pair like them >_>
JuliaY
I wear scrubs but graduate in Dec and need to buy business wear. My boyfriend is looking forward to helping me shop, but I hate shopping.
ImguritisIsNotCureable
Me too. It's easier to make it like a Mission Impossible mission when you have to spend a lot of time and try on cloths. Plus going to a +
ImguritisIsNotCureable
thrift shop or second hand store is usually better because you can make fun of the crazy things people donated. Plus give your self a +
ImguritisIsNotCureable
break, eat before shopping, and make a plan of stores etc. It all really helps. And know your limits, only go to 1 or 2 stores in +
sharesurinals
I thought Guys would say anything to get laid....
DoReMemeSoFaLaTiDo
Male and I enjoy shopping. Very therapeutic. World's gone mad, eh?
icyvaynes
Not alone shopping can be boring.
VeryLittleGravitasIndeed
I shop for bras like a sniper: IN! BAM! THAT ONE WILL DO! OUT! 20 seconds max.
colieco
Definitely not the only one.
MelanomaCanSuckATurd
Female here. Hate, loathe, detest malls....but can online shop for days!
GnomeAnn
Same. My husband picks things out for me to try and usually is spot on. Plus he knows to give periodic snacks to keep me motivated!
sharesurinals
I bet your Husband watches SSBBW online.

I googled those letters, and then proceeded to not click on any of the links it gave me.

shivhan
Female and I would rather pull my nails out one at a time then go "browsing" (as my mother calls a whole day wondering aimlessly)
iddqt
as a woman, i fucken love ONLINE SHOPPING!! don't you feel more productive when you can browse 10 different stores in different tabs at once
DAMMITSTOPSTEALINGMYFAVORITEUSERNAMES
Yeah but then don't you feel like shit when your item comes in and it's the wrong size and there's no returns so you're stuck with it?
iddqt
no cause I'm a chubby bubble and I wear really loose tops so I always get bigger sizes but I see what you mean :(
DAMMITSTOPSTEALINGMYFAVORITEUSERNAMES
I accidentally bought a swimsuit in the wrong size :( now I'm stuck with this cute ass swimsuit that doesn't even go past my thighs.
iddqt
ohhh yea swimsuits must go in a danger category. it's hard enough to buy it in person :*(
AssamLaksa
I don't like it until I absolutely have to.

My Mom was OCD. I'd run ahead and pick out a cart with a shitty wheel. "Here Mom." Our trips never took more than 20 minutes.
VeryLittleGravitasIndeed
My mum: forensic inspection of item - pause - 'I could make that for half the price!' - a whole childhood spent in home-made sack-dresses.
DAMMITSTOPSTEALINGMYFAVORITEUSERNAMES
My mom hated to buy on impulse so she would take her time walking around the whole store to see if she wanted it and if she should buy it.
buttermyarse
Nah. I have to be in the roght mood and can never manage more than a couple of hours before I lose the will to live.
ThatOneGifOfJerryFuckingTomInTheAssIsMySpiritSlave
"couple of hours"
almostsomething182
Right? I could cover an entire mall three times over in that time.
buttermyarse
Haha no really. I mean when I'm shopping with friends. Some of them will keep going all day but I get fed up :)
MundaneFinality
But... but youre required to! What else are your boyfriends going to complain about over beer and football?
almostsomething182
I'm a guy and... I can't drink alcohol and I don't like football. There, I said it.
MundaneFinality
I like alchohol but hate beer, and dont enjoy football. So to a certain extent im right there with you.
almostsomething182
Beer is my least favorite of alcohols. I can drink a few mixed drinks and get wobbly, or half a beer and feel sick for a couple hours.
PinkFluffyOne
They need to have a crèche in every women's store where the men can stay. It'll be filled with all things manly.
sharesurinals
Turn one fitting room into a "peep booth". Give Women a "super coupon" to use it. Charge Guys to view it.

My gf took me to a store once where there was a men's corner. Comfy seating, headphones w different types of music, car & game magazines...
PTKrieg
Or, take the weak and sad arcade in the mall, and upgrade it to an arcade pub.

It's French for manger. I'm informing everyone who needs knowing. A place to crash, in biblical vernacular.

My wife doesn't bring me with her to shopping. She knows I get bored and prefers to take her time on her own with it.

Exactly what I do with my man. He loves me for it. Haha

Yeah, I leave my man at home. Knowing he hates being there makes me anxious so I try to hurry, which just ends up making me more anxious.

My husband loves shopping, I hate it. I never go with him. I don't understand why someone would drag his/her SOs to do something they hate.

I don't understand why more women don't do this. Who wants a bored miserable person following you around? Just go by yourself.
weaselbee
Sometimes I want to be around him and have his company. I don't see what's so wrong about that. And I get sick of laying around all day.
Pandameter
The situations depicted don't show two people enjoying each other's company. They show solitary husbands/bfs, held hostage and unhappy
LJCobb
It's nice that you want to spend time with him but don't you feel bad that he is bored?
weaselbee
No, I do things with him that I find boring. It's all part of a relationship.
LJCobb
Well it sounds like that works for you so I hope you continue to have a happy life together.
javaMakesMeAnxious
It's not very nice of you, if the activity you choose to do is only fun for you. Nothing wrong with wanting to be around your SO.
weaselbee
You never do something that you don't really want to do because it'll make your SO happy?
javaMakesMeAnxious
>> I don't want anyone to do things for me out of duty or because I command them to do it.
javaMakesMeAnxious
Sure, but those guys in the post don't look like they're trying to make someone happy, they look like they're doing it out of duty. And >>
EnergyFiend
At the same time, why would the men agree to go?? The whole thing is baffling. I too shop solo.
SalsaRice
If the shopping location is far away, usually you don't go often. A movie, dinner, and shopping can all happen in the same mall.

I am really indecisive and always want opinions but I usually take my sister so bf can stay home and play league. Sister bonding time also
wyldcard
I see so many girls bitching about how their fellas play games, but I game and I also pay good fucking attention to my wife.
NurietaGM
For me it took the proper game to get into gaming (my husband already was). Now I am the one nagging him about playing games together.
DogtorRay
I didn't mean it as a bad thing, I mean it as a time for him to enjoy doing his thing while I enjoy doing my thing

I made another comment, supporting you :) it's above this one.

I find my bf's opinion is normally just a shrug of the shoulders anyway cause he's is just so bored and doesn't care.

We have other hobbies we enjoy doing together but also know there are some things that are better suited for alone/friend time :)
