Clothes Shopping Is A Total Snore
Coworker: “Is something broken?”

Coworker: “There’s a weird rumbling or humming coming from somewhere. Sounds like something is broken… or about to break.”
I walked over with her to her section, and she was right. There was a strange sound, like an engine straining, coming from… somewhere.

I know it’s a cliché, but we have a large seating area in the store we call the “Husband Zone”, as it’s where all the husbands sit patiently while their wives shop for clothes.

Four sleeping husbands had managed to synchronize their snoring so perfectly that there was a constant sound at the same pitch, never interrupted, always taken over by the next husband when it was time to inhale. It was… amazing.
Sadly, it only lasted a few more seconds before one of them coughed, breaking the cadence and ending the magic.
