Some people don’t enjoy shopping, while others perceive shopping as a therapy session — they can either feel relaxed or energized from it. But all of us have to shop from time to time because our clothes tend to wear out, and our beauty products also run out. The funny thing is that shopping can provide you not only with purchases, but with funny stories as well.

At Bright Side, we recalled awkward shopping situations and made comics out of them.

Sizes can ruin your self-esteem.

Fashion trends seem to be against us.

Even honest people get nervous when security gates are triggered by them.

Sometimes you just want to look around, but some shop assistants seem to hate this.

It might seem that you have a normal size, but trying to find clothes in your size can be confusing.

Finding a perfect foundation shade is like winning a lottery.

Why is there no guide on what to do when an item of clothing begins to fall apart while trying it on?

Tell the sales associate. This happens a lot. Most people think they will be blamed, so they are scared to say anything. I've worked in retail. Trust me, they would rather you just tell them than to try and hide it.

Sometimes it seems that shops have wonder mirrors that make every buyer slimmer, younger, and curvier.

That feeling when you buy an item from a new collection, and a few days later...

Trendy ensembles look cool in photos. Unfortunately, they don’t always look that cool in reality.

We suggest fitting room designers make these spots a bit bigger.

I went in a shop once that had no hooks on the wall in the changing room. There was no chair, and the door handle was a weird, slide handle (like on restroom stalls), so you couldn't even hang anything on the handle. I had several items to try on and I didn't want to dump them on the floor. I came out and mentioned the issue to the associate. She was like, "Yeah. That's so people don't just leave items hanging in there." I just handed her my items and left.
