A: This sucks; I hate buying lingerie, okay, I just find something and get out of here. Alright, these are fine. Oh, no, don’t come over here, don’t come over here.

B: You look a little lost, can I help you?

A: I’m having a look around. It’s my girlfriend’s birthday tomorrow. I’m trying to find her something.

B: Well, you can’t give her granny panties. Have you thought about getting her some sleepwear? We’ve got these lovely, silky nighties. Or, how about a nice panty-and and-bra set. Look, here’s a nice satin push-up bra, and you can choose a few different styles of undies to go with it.

A: Sure, that’s fine.

A: This is so awkward…what ones do I pick? What size is she?

B: Well, do you want a thong, some bikini briefs, maybe this nice pair of lacy boy shorts?

A: Just pick something and get the hell out of here.

A: Um, I will go with these two.

A: This is mortifying; I just want to get this over with. She better thank me for this…

B: Here you are sir. I am sure she will enjoy them.

B: Finally!

C: I am sorry sir. I am going to have to take a look inside your bag.
