We all know that we shouldn’t be judging a book by its cover, especially when we rely on those books to earn commission. But despite how often we’ve all heard this idiom, some people seem to never learn their lesson.

One woman recently shared a story on the Petty Revenge subreddit, detailing how she had a real life Pretty Woman moment in a designer store. Below, you’ll find all of the details, as well as some of the replies amused readers left her.

    Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about three years ago. I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

    Yeah, I kept waiting for OP to tell the rude lady "Big mistake" the way Julia Roberts does after getting all her fancy stuff elsewhere.

    They should use this in a film perhaps. The lady should be doing a job that’s frowned upon by society. I know! A sex worker! Yeah, that would work!

    I wonder if the signaling (non-verbal communication) isn’t about wealth as much as it is about willingness to spend on overpriced designer stuff. I’ve been mentored by several billionaires and other guys who were worth $100 Million or more. They drove normal vehicles (pickup trucks, etc) and wore clothing without labels, etc. The statistic is that the most popular car brand for millionaires in the USA is Toyota. Meanwhile, folks with far less money (and/or living on debt) drive $100k vehicles and carry designer bags. Perhaps the salespersons aren’t worried about how much money someone has, but rather their willingness to overpay for a product… and in that sense someone who already is dressed in expensive clothing signals their historical pattern of doing so.

    My stepfather had "more money than God" (according to some) and you would never know it. His biggest expenditures were on good food (he liked to cook) and his golf club memberships. He drove an older Cadillac and dressed in ancient Dickies and SAS shoes. I saw plenty of people misjudge him bc he just looked like a poor old man without thinking that maybe he looked that way bc he didn't feel the need to spend tons on trivial s**t.
