I had the clasp fail on my favorite pair of clip-on earrings. I took them to a jeweler, in male mode, to see if they could fix them. While the guy was in the back seeing what he could do, the lady out front asked "so is it your wife who doesn't have pierced ears" and I just panicked and said yes. I don't know why I didn't just say "oh no, they are mine". I usually do better admitting clothes are for me when shopping if dealing with a female associate, but just couldn't do it this time.
Does anyone else find themselves having this problem?
