Hear me out.
My DH said he lost his scarf on the tube while texting his work colleague. He missed his stop and forgot his favourite scarf. He told his colleague I had lost my favourite scarf while texting you work-wise, so you should get me a new one. He said she felt bad and got him a new one. Is this all a bit weird?!

why cant you text work colleague while on the tube? Surely it's better than texting when you are in the bath? 😂

Aside from lack of signal, surely tube is the time when you text and email everybody to pass the time?

A lot of tubes have WiFi now / if he’s out somewhere distance on the District line it might even be travelling overground.

I think for a man a scarf is much more personal than for a woman.

A woman is very likely to have multiple scarves to match different outfits.

A man, in my experience, would not have multiple scarves.

For her to buy the scarf for him means she must have been studying his clothes, his style, his preferences , his appearance. I.e have taken an interest in him personally as a wife, or girlfriend, or relative would do. Not as you would expect colleagues to do unless they had a very close intimate relationship.

OP - is the scarf grey with maybe a coloured stripe?

I wouldn’t be surprised, as this is the safest bet for scarfs for guys.

Anything more colourful, then I guess maybe she has been paying attention to his style.
