Dec 26th 2015, 1:30 PM 9,365 Views 4 Comments

SHOPPING AROUND CHRISTMAS is the hardest of hard slogs.

And some men out there have accepted that it’s not for them. So they wait:

1. Like this man contemplating life

2. And even Santa himself had to wait it out

3. This guy was on trolley duty but gave up the ghost

4. They wait in flocks

5. Taking advantage of fancy seats

6. Finding some entertainment for themselves

7. Or just chilling on the nearest couch

8. Strategically using the seats for trying on shoes for a solid sit down

9. When they have resorted to taking selfies of their shoes for entertainment

10. This guy went into a deep meditative state to get him through

11. A shout out to everyone who has accepted their Christmas shopping fate

You’ve done well.

Thanks to the excellent Miserable Men Instagram account for some of these.
