Let’s see a show of hands…
Have you ever been mistaken for an employee at a store?
A lot of people don’t like being mistaken for an employee, but in this story, one dad thinks back on this experience as a fond memory of when his daughter was younger.
Check out what happened!
Home Depot With My Daughter.
“This is a funny one that I brought on myself.
Home Depot has this kids workshop where you buy a little wooden car kit and they set up tables for the kids to work with their parents building them.
They give the kids a tiny junior Home Depot apron, just like the employees wear.
I brought my daughter, who was 5 years old at the time. My daughter refused to wear the apron, so I put it on because I knew it would get a laugh out of her.
Uh oh…
After we were done building and decorating her car, I wanted to do some shopping.
You know where this is going.
I forgot I had on the mini apron while we were walking around.
I took a few times of people asking me for help before I realized what was happening.
LOL!
The third time a customer started asking for help I realized I was wearing the world’s smallest Home Depot apron.
The customer and I had a good laugh about it.
No Karens in this story, but I’ve always laughed when I remember it.
It’s also a great memory of daddy-daughter time with my daughter – she’s a teenager now so those memories are precious to me.”
That is funny! I’m glad he didn’t encounter any Karens.
Now let’s see what people had to say on Reddit.
This person spoke up.

Another individual shared their thoughts.

And this individual weighed in.

That is such a sweet memory!
