A funny thing happened on my way to shopping

A funny thing happened recently while shopping. While on a professionnal trip, I passed in front of a shoe shop litterally bursting with shoes, mostly cheap shoes from Malaysia but not uninteresting. I quickly noticed that some of the models were available in size UK 9 which is my size. So I got in the shop, ran by an indian guy, showed him the model i was interested in (conservative pumps 2.5" heels) and asked him if it was available in size 43 (UK 9), "Yes, Sir", and he called his attendant to fetch a pair. I must add that i was dressed in normal male consultant drab, no hint of feminity , after all I was on a professionnal assignment. When the pair of shoes was brought the guy started to ask me " what size are you ...?" Then realised it might embarass me and just said " I'm 43, look they fit ... " and he put them on. They did fit OK, so I bought them (about 5 $ !). Anything like that ever happened to any of you ? Vanessa

Actually not exactly like that. Most of my reactions like at Shoe City one told me this is the girls side what you want is over there. To this I replied that side says men and those do not fit me they are all too wide. Some other times they were too helpful at a time when I was a bit timed about letting it be known that I wanted girl shoes. Well anyway today I plan to check some of the shoe discount places and I am heading out in 3.5 inch square toe 9west and an olive green shirt-dress.
