Me? No. My Wife? Yes, one item. How was I to know the sweater was from the store’s Juniors collection? All of the sweaters were in the same area and it was like driving on a street in New England – no signs to tell you what street you are driving on.
And what’s with women’s clothing sizes? Take pants for example. For Men it’s simple. Waist, Inseam that’s it, that’s all you need to know. But women’s pants, they have sizes that don’t directly relate to inches or centimeters and on top of it sizes have changed over the years. A size 8 today used to be a size 10. And then you have to know whether to select an 8 short, 8 medium, or 8 long. And that’s not all. Does she prefer Low Rise, Mid Rise, or High Rise. Or is it Sport Rise, Mid Rise and Natural Rise??? And which department? Juniors, Petites, Misses, Plus?
Ladies, please take pity on men who buy you clothes. And Men don’t be insulted or upset when she needs to exchange them.
I will now climb down from my soap box. Thank you. ;-)

Similarly, my father got some shoes for Christmas, but planned to exchange them because they were one size too small.
