Actions, Not Words

Female shoppers, it seems, transform into unidentifiable slobs when they enter a department store. What leads a woman to pick up a folded knit shirt from a display, look at it, then drop it on the table without refolding it? What are women trying to convey when they leave piles of clothes on a fitting room floor? Are these the same women who have a phobia of using the trash bins in public restrooms (preferring the floor) and leaving the toilet seat clean for the next user?

WHATaMESS-age of the day: Years of picking up after family members at home is not a license to turn store employees into your alter ego.
