What woman doesn’t enjoy shopping? Almost every woman would love to spend a day at the mall, window-shopping and trying on her favorite pieces of clothing. Unfortunately, men don’t seem to enjoy shopping as much as women do- in fact, most of the time they tend to avoid it. What happens though if they happen to find themselves accompanying their better half at the mall?
Here are the most iconic “miserable men”, as spotted and uploaded by an instagram account that has gone viral.
1. Napping
This guy fell asleep probably while texting his wife for the thousandth time. Hopefully when he woke up, the bag and his jacket were still there.
2. Bored As Hell
When you take with you not only your husband but also your son, then you can bet they’ll both end up in a couch really bored.

This cute man found a nice spot to relax away from his shopping wife. Best part of it being the sweeties all around him.
6. Tea Party
This man is napping in the most classy spot, amidst a tea party at a furniture/home deco shop.

This man found a spot to relax and decided to take a nap until his wife was done choosing fabrics and stuff.

10. Multi-purpose
When you turn your husband into a live clothes hanger stand and his face is shouting “passive-aggressive”.
11. Stoicism
This man can endure long waits at the shops with this stoic face and body posture. Priceless.
12. At The Garden Center
When your wife has taken you garden shopping and you can’t find a chair to sit while waiting, you can improvise and use bags of soil as chairs.
13. Priorities
Well, apparently he figured his child had more energy than him and decided to chill in the stroller.
14. Better With Company
The wait is definitely more easily bearable when you have a friend to chat with. Lucky guys!
15. He Just Can’t
After a long day at work, we bet the last thing this man wanted was to accompany his wife at the mall.
16. Block It Out
This man is in denial: wearing two hats so he doesn’t see anything or anyone, and earphones so he doesn’t hear them. Starting to think he doesn’t like it there.
17. Jealous
This man doesn’t look miserable to us! He’s enjoying a massage chair while his wife’s walking miles trying to decide what to buy!
18. Better Not
We sure hope the future doesn’t look as miserable as this man here. Poor guy!
19. Men’s Section
These guys look so sad and tired we’re just sorry for them. However, have you noticed they’re in the men’s section?
20. Oh, No!
Look at all these men standing there waiting for their girlfriends to get done with their purchases. Also, how stressful this sight is for their women.
21. Siesta
Shoutout to the genius who decided to put comfy, pillow lined benches there so that tired hubbies can take a mid-shopping nap.
22. Comfy
Comfy chairs are always a good idea! Even more so, if you’re accompanying your wife shopping.
23. Miserable Boys
Guess who’s not going with their mom shopping again? Right, these two guys: lesson learnt.
24. This Is Brilliant
Whoever did this is a genius! And we bet their shop will attract many tired hubbies!
25. Live Exhibit
This could be a live exhibit at a modern art museum, called “A man’s day at the mall”!
26. Cheers
Well, shopping might be boring, but one would never say no to a glass of wine and a chair to sit.
27. Not So Lucky
However, some others are not that lucky, and have to stand outside with their mobiles as their only consolation.
28. Shoe Shopping
When you’ve taken your son shopping with you, but he doesn’t give a damn anymore and decides to nap on the shop couch.
29. Standing In Line
Why do we have a feeling that this one was taken on Valentine’s Day? They look so joyful- well, not really.
30. Adorable
This is so cute in a way. At the same time, his hand gesture reveals years of suffering boredom at shopping malls.
31. Once Again
Again, the stairs are a man’s best friends when it comes to shopping. What would they do without them?
32. It Makes Sense
What better place to sleep in a mall than a linen shop? Looks perfect to us!
33. Again
One more guy who was lucky enough to bump into a massage chair and make his tiring day a little more cheerful!
34. Coolest Camouflage
Here’s a pro tip. If you want to take a nap while your significant other’s shopping, just wear your sunglasses. They won’t even notice.
35. Just Protecting It
No, no, this man’s not sleeping at all! He’s just making sure nobody’s going to steal this precious bag!

42. Like Father Like Son
Here are three generations of patient “wait-ers”. This picture is to show that some things never change.
43. Smart Move
Bringing a laptop with him at the mall was probably a clever idea. Good old solitaire can help pass the time.
44. Pretend You’re On Holidays
Another great idea to pass the time, is to sit at the garden furniture section, pretending you’re on holidays enjoying a sunny day outside.
45. Feeling At Home
When you’ve stayed more than four hours at the mall, you start feeling at home, so taking off your shoes to relax on the sofa is kind of acceptable.

Oops! Looks like someone here’s in trouble. Man, please stop looking at your phone and look at her, you’re gonna have a real problem!
52. Even Kanye?
Apparently being famous doesn’t mean you enjoy your time at the mall. Kanye put his daughter and himself to sleep while waiting for Kim!
53. Rocking His Camouflage
This dude here is rocking the sunglasses camouflage. He’s doing great so far.
54. Why?
This guy seems to be wondering “Why did I come here with her? I knew it was a trap”!
