[In line at a target, ME is at the front of the line with the CLERK, while GUY and GUY’S WIFE are in line behind me]
Guy: Hey, those Levis you’re wearing?
Me: Um, yeah.
Guy: Awesome, what’s the number?
Me: I’m not sure, can you see on the pocket?
Guy’s Wife: 579s
Guy: Ah, 579!
Me: Yeah
Guy: I’m a Levi’s guy myself. Hey, what the cut?
Me: I’m sorry?
Guy: Are they straight leg, boot cut…
Me: I think you are more of a Levi’s guy than I am.
[Guy’s wife laughs]
Clerk: That will be $40.06, slide your card right there
Guy: Hey, if you ever have the chance, try on a pair of 527s.
Me: 527s?
Guy: Yeah, 527s! They are the best, so comfortable. Give them a try.
Me: I will. Thanks.
Clerk: Here’s your receipt.
Me: [to myself] 527.
Clerk: Yes, 527. It’s so nice to see guys bonding over clothes.
Me: It’s pretty uncommon. Thanks.
Hilarious. I was not aware that men’s jeans even came in different “cuts”.
Dude, I think he was hitting on you.
Hmmm. A strange man admiring your clothes and trying to dress you? I wonder how the conversation would have sounded has his wife not been there.
