As we come out of Christmas present shopping season and head into Boxing Day sales shopping season, it’s needless to say that there is a fair bit of shopping to be done at this time of year.
But, as you race between sales racks, high on 50% off signs and two-for-one pairs of winter boots, spare a thoughts for the losers in this situation.
The blokes.*
The following pictures are from the ‘Miserable Men’ account on Instagram. They are pictures of men who have been broken by hours upon hours of shopping with their wives and girlfriends.
Let them serve as a reminder to treat your menfolk kindly this sales season.
* Obviously there is an element of gender stereotyping in this statement. Some guys really like shopping, some girls really hate it. But in the interest of us all gaining the greatest level of utility from these hilarious pictures, let’s put away our first year Gender Studies criticisms for a minute and focus on what’s really important here: funny candids of blokes sleeping on fitting room floors.
What do you think of the Miserable Men Instagram account? Have you spotted a miserable man at the shops this holiday season? Have you, dare we suggest, created one yourself?

Personally, i love shopping. The problem I have is where they put the changing rooms. Right next to the women lingerie. Why? I'm standing outside waiting while my friends tries on their outfit and I literally don't know where to look without feeling like a pervert. And I'm gay.
But people assume I'm a perv.
So I am extremely comfortable. I sometimes resort to mugging at other customers, checking my watch, shrugging my shoulders, grimacing at them as if to say,'I'm waiting for someone in there. I'm not checking out the lacy thong or the bustier at crotch level. And I am not imagining how you would look in said item.
Come on store managers. Put the underwear somewhere else. Put the sports section next to the change room. You might sell some gear to us while we are waiting.
As far as I can see the guy sleeping on the bed, the one's relaxing on the massage chairs, the ones reading, or even napping in chairs, they don't look very miserable to me. If they really don't want to go, then they shouldn't go. I personally prefer to go alone or with my daughters (not the 10 year old though). At least I enjoy it then.
