I love shopping as much as the next guy who wants to get a new shirt from H&M. Like all guys, we tend to zero-in on what we want and waste time we shall not! I think one of the reasons we do that is so we can later spend the rest of the day at the mall waiting for our wives or girlfriends to be done with their part of shopping.

Miserable_men is an Instagram account that snaps men like us, waiting in limbo, for our significant others to be done. It can be lonely. It can be boring. Our suffering has been in silent for years, up until now. Check out some of the 34 men who really look like they hate the entire notion of shopping in the gallery below:

1. The only way to not break your back while waiting with a kid is to sit down.


2. If only he noticed the bed earlier.


3. This bench has been warmed.


4. There's really only so much you can Facebook while waiting.


5, Speak to a mannequin if you are lonely. It could help pass the time.


6, When the hunch sets in, you know they've been there for at least 20 minutes.


7, Well, at least she's offering to buy a drink after all that waiting.


8. Been here since 10.30am.


9. "Looks like you've got a handful, son."


10. To enter or to wait?


11. We know who these sofas are for.


12. It sucks when there's no bench around.


13. When you do go in, expect to also be the clothes hanger for stuff she wants to try.


14. Sometimes you just want to hide.


15. Nice to know you're not alone.


16. Get comfy. Expect to spend 35 minutes here.


17. When there's no bench, a flight of stairs will do.


18. Start them young.


19. And here's how I got to this size.


20. Been here since 1994


21. Sometimes you just go with the flow.


22. Shit gets real when you start to get all kinds of aches.


23. Then you get grumpy and check the time.


24. You sleep while standing.


25. Or sit and sleep if you can find a spot. Sometimes you pretend because you don't want to pay.


26. You know you've been in a mall long enough when the bags are sitting next to you too.


27. Thank goodness for smartphones.


28. Just sit, watch and hold on to stuff.


29. Bags, bags and more bags.


30. Your brethren.


31. At least you get to check out other women too without getting caught.



32. As you get older, you'll have more stamina than the inexperienced young ones.


33. Sometimes, you're just waiting for one of these guys to get off the seat.


34. "Why don't you online shop?", you wonder.
