how to embarrass your husband....

We went to get the tour of our new house yesterday. It's the first time we've seen inside it when not still being constructed (it's a new build). And it is lovely!
But all the floors are chipboard, so off we went to a big shop to look at some carpets etc. We were just wandering around, with me stroking the samples to get a feel for the carpets, when a salesman came up and asked if we'd like any help.
"Not at the minute, thanks, I'm just fondling the carpets"
Cue one red-faced salesman and husband immediately disowning me...
