The single man decided to buy a rug for the bathroom, but at the sight of the assortment he was confused and began to call his mother

Yesterday I went shopping in a large shopping center. I needed to buy bathroom accessories for my sister. Having bought a set of soap dishes, glasses and toothbrush holders, I decided to go in and supplement it with a rug on the bathroom floor. This thing is never superfluous, so that during the washing of the first - the second could always be put on the floor.

When choosing a purchase for myself, I noticed a well-dressed young man who was also considering bath and toilet mats, which were presented in a huge number and the widest color scale.

When I saw a man looking at the price tags, I realized that he was making such a purchase for the first time and furtively watched him. It seemed especially funny to me that he took one of the rugs in his hands, turned it around. The rug turned out to be very small and the man put it back in disgust. I followed him and saw that the rug costs 980 rubles. This is undoubtedly very expensive for such a small piece.

Nearby lay little white fluffy mats under the feet, but they were not equipped with a non-slip layer and it was simply dangerous to lay them in the bathroom. True, the price for them is only 140 rubles, but health is more expensive. If such a rug goes underfoot, it can hurt very painfully.

But I continued to observe the male buyer. As I noticed, he chose a product in gray tones. There was a choice, but the prices, to be honest, bite.

And so, the man reached into his pocket and took out his phone. I overheard in the most shameless way who he would call. “Mom,” he whispered, and I realized with pleasure that this is a bachelor who buys such things for the first time in his life. He began to tell his mother what he saw in front of him, then photographed the rug he liked so much for 980 rubles. But the mother clearly did not appreciate the choice of her son, scolding him for the fact that he was going to buy such an expensive thing.

Judging by the way he began to look at the seamy side, I realized that my son had been warned about the mandatory presence of a rubber non-slip layer on the bottom.

I don't know why the man strenuously did not notice the gray rug for 529 rubles, but it was still quite affordable and no worse in quality. I even felt sorry for him, although I think that at this age bachelors are, more often than not, with hidden serious defects. And I decided to unfold this rug in front of him.

The trick worked - he saw the given gray color, looked at the price tag, photographed it and got the go-ahead to buy.

Honestly, for me, who seriously spent on a green set for my sister, a foam rug for 147 rubles was quite suitable. It is non-slip, color-matched and affordable. And when it gets dirty, it's not a pity to throw it away and buy a new one. But definitely not for 980 rubles.

Of course, fluffy whites looked better, but they are slippery and I decided not to risk the health of my beloved sister.

So in any store you can find inexpensive goods, the main thing is not to look at beauty. And give preference to functionality.
