A man has taken to social media to share his humiliation experience after being falsely accused of inappropriate behavior while attempting to purchase sanitary pads for his wife.
The man, who chose to remain anonymous, recounted his ordeal, expressing his shock and distress at the unwarranted accusations.
According to the man, he had received a call from his wife requesting him to pick up some sanitary pads on his way home from work.
To ensure he bought the correct product, he asked his wife to send him a picture of the specific brand she needed.
Upon arriving at the store and facing difficulty in locating the exact brand, the man resorted to FaceTiming his wife in the pad aisle, hoping to get her assistance in finding an alternative.
However, his innocent actions soon drew the attention of a female shopper who accused him of inappropriate behavior.
Despite being on a video call with his wife throughout the interaction, the situation escalated when the store manager and a female clerk intervened, responding to a complaint lodged against the man.
The accuser continued to assert that the man was behaving inappropriately, even alleging that he was taking pictures without consent.
In an attempt to clarify the misunderstanding, the man showed the manager the text messages from his wife and explained his genuine intent to purchase the necessary items and leave the store promptly.
However, the situation remained tense as the accuser persistently demanded the man’s arrest.
“I got a call from my wife when I was getting off work and she asked me to pick her up some pads from the store. I asked her to send me a text with a picture of the ones she uses to make sure I got the right kind.
“I get to [the store] and I cannot find the kind she texted me so I FaceTimed her in the pad aisle and was showing her the section where her brand is to see if I could find another kind.
“About 30 seconds later a woman comes up to me and tells me I am being inappropriate and she was going to report me. Mind you my wife is on video with me this entire time. I tell my wife to text me a backup pad that I could get for her and end the call.
“Right as my wife is texting me, a man (store manager) and a female clerk come up to me with the woman behind them and he asks what I am doing and that he got a complaint that I was behaving inappropriately.”
“The woman then starts shouting that I was taking pictures of her and I was lying,” he said.
“I showed the manager the texts from my wife and I told him I just wanted to get my wife her pads and leave.
“The manger and the woman went up to the front of the store and the whole time she is screeching to him that he needs to call the police and have me arrested for being a pervert.”
“I paid for the pads and left. And when I got to the car I cried. A grown ass man crying in his car. I have never felt more embarrassed and humiliated in my life. When I told my wife what happened she went pale and hasn’t stopped apologising to me,” the man added.
