An awkward event occurred when a man was purchasing pads for his wife at the sanitary towel aisle of the supermarket. Unable to determine the specific brand that his wife uses, he video-called her to assist him in selecting the right product.
While he was doing this, a female customer mistook his movements for a sexual orientation accusation, which led to a disturbance in the supermarket.
An act of compassion by a local man turned into a public spectacle after he was falsely accused of acting inappropriately.
The man claimed that when he tried to purchase sanitary pads for his wife, a female customer mistook his actions and challenged him, bringing him to tears.
Unaware that he might get into trouble, the man allegedly video-called his wife to help choose the appropriate goods, according to The Mirror.
When the customer insisted on calling the police and accused the man of being a pervert, the scene became more heated.
The customer escalated the situation by accusing him of taking pictures of her, even though he tried to clarify the situation to the clerk and store manager who arrived after the complaint. The store manager looked over the texts sent between the husband and his wife, but took no further action.
After making his purchase and leaving the store, the man became so overcome by the humiliation he had endured that he sobbed uncontrollably in his car.
Although the man’s wife conveyed her sincere apologies for the event, he revealed that it had permanently altered their life.
