adults in schoolwear shop

[sidress]

or rather is hubby? He runs a schoolwear shop which is used a fair deal by kids at the local schools and independants as well. Recently he he received an email supposedly from an adult asking to come in and try on a uniform and buy (full blazer, jumper, skirt getup). First time he ignored, emailed again and he politely said they only have childrens sizes. He just doesn't think its appropriate and also unhygenic if an adult trys on stuff that later goes to a child. Why would an adult want a real school uniform?

if I was buying school uniform for my children I would NOT want there to be adults in the shop buying the same uniform for sexual fetish purposes.

If this bothers you then, as someone who used to be an operating theatre technician, I can assure you that if you'd seen the varied and often unbelievable items that we removed from people's bottoms, you'd be keeping your children away from any sort of retail activity this side of their 18 th birthdays.

This book on the Christmas list then?

Stuck Up: 100 objects inserted and ingested where they shouldn't be.

It's definitely on my Christmas list now. It'll be like a walk down Memory Lane!

I don't think its strange. But I have bought a uniform, well some bits, from a uniform shop. I am petite, blazers can be bought without badge in a variety of colors, and cheaper than going high street. Thankfully the shop I went to weren't so narrow minded, but then I had bought nonuniform items in the past from them.

But I suppose I didn't need it for legit reasons, instead I needed it for my own fetishes, but so what?? As doe not being in the shop with your children when some adult is buying for their own fetishes, then I suggest you never allow your children to go to any store ever again.

I really fail to see how hygiene comes into the equations, some teens have very questionable habits.

Transvestites staining clothes in the changing room is always a problem. Make them try it on in the middle of the shop.

maybe its a costume for a pantomime or something

OP. Did the email contain the word fandabbydozy?

Tears of laughter here.

A walk down Memory Lane didn't help

he received an email supposedly from an adult

What does 'supposedly' mean? Was it signed "Yours sincerely, John Smith, aged 34 and 3/4?"

Forward the email to the police immediately, though.

Why forward the email to the police.
Someone has made an enquiry about buying a school uniform. Why would the police care?

We still don't know why it's unhygienic then?

Also, the police? Really??

ClownBike : "0K sorry but WHAT???

Because someone likes to dress in school uniform they 'might be looking at your child sexually' ???"

Don't put my words in other people's mouths. I speculated that the above might by why a previous poster was uncomfortable. She did not confirm that that was the reason.

ANumberlock* won't the police be too busy staking out Ann Summers? I'm sure they sell school uniforms there.

A friend worked in a lingerie shop - they had an unofficial tine of the week where cross dressers / transexuals / fetishists would know they could come and be measured, try on, buy etc. It was a very quiet time of day, on a quiet day of the week.

If your dh wants to sell uniforms to adults, maybe he could do something like this?

Why forward the email to the police

That was tongue-in-cheek, iknow.

Oh God, Jessie, what are we going to do? Would locking Britney Spears up make any difference?

Ah, x-post. Wasted joke then. Obviously spent too much time thinking about it.

I think we need to destroy every copy of every CD she's ever made, plus the accompanying music videos. That should do it.

umberlock Sometimes on MN you never can tell what is a joke and what is deadly serious!!!

Ha ha, you're right there, iknow!

OK, Jessie, you take care of the CDs, I'll take care of the videos, synchronise watches and report back at fifteen hundred hours.

Please don't destroy 'Big fat bass', you know the one featuring Will.I.am. I quite like that one. You can trash everything else.

I know of two wedding dress shops that will serve men after hours and let them try on. They are good customers for them.

I would say that he is welcome to buy what he likes but you can't let him try stuff on in the shop as other customers might not like it.

Buying wedding dresses? That's an expensive hobby to have!

HAve I missed the part where the adult is definately male? Surely it does not have to be a cross dresser.

I however would not feel comfortable taking my children to the shop where an adult (for any reason) was trying on school wear.

You're all bastards :o
