Chinese man blames failed blind date on saggy T-shirt, claims looks like sleepwear
Rejected programmer says so-called heavyweight shirt was ‘thin’, ‘see-through’, made him look like he was unemployed
A Chinese man has reported a T-shirt manufacturer to the authorities after a failed blind date, claiming that the shirt was so saggy it looked like sleepwear, which he blamed for being rejected.
The incident went viral on mainland social media, amusing many netizens and prompting the authorities to launch an investigation into the product’s quality.
In mid-May, a man surnamed Wang, who works as a programmer, said that he had recently gone on a blind date wearing a T-shirt he had bought online for 59 yuan (US$8).
He claimed that the poor quality of the shirt, a thin and flimsy item which resembled sleepwear, left a bad impression on the woman and ultimately led to the failure of the date.
“I bought their so-called ‘heavyweight T-shirt’ for 59 yuan, but it turned out to be thin and see-through. I wore it on a blind date, and the woman thought I had shown up in pyjamas,” Wang said.
