INSPIRING: Area Man to Make Brave Walk Through Women’s Intimates Section
WILLOWCREEK, IL — Sources at a local department store confirm that one man is about to embark on the daunting, treacherous, and possibly transformative journey of crossing the women’s intimates section just to reach the restrooms.
Thirty-four-year-old Kyle Mancuso, who stopped by Wincott’s Department Store Tuesday evening for a pair of dress socks, was blindsided by an extremely urgent need to use the bathroom—a bathroom located just on the other side of an expanse of bras, lace, and the occasional leopard print.
“At first, I thought maybe I’d just go to another store. You know, find a place with, like, a clearly marked path,” said Mancuso, who had been calculating alternate routes through the store’s shoe and accessories departments for nearly 10 minutes. “But then I told myself, ‘Kyle, you can do this.’”
As he took his first step into the sea of silks and underwires, onlookers report Mancuso adopted a resolute, eyes-straight-ahead approach. Witnesses state that he did his best to avoid eye contact with a mannequin sporting a bustier that seemed, to him, to be “directly in his line of sight, taunting him.”
Store employee Sarah Bradley, who was restocking the “Flirty & Fun” thong section at the time, observed Mancuso’s strategy closely.
“I could tell he was doing that thing guys do when they’re in the intimates section,” she noted. “He kept nodding and looking slightly above all the racks, pretending he was interested in literally anything else. It’s pretty common behavior in this section.”
Security footage later revealed that Mancuso briefly froze after accidentally brushing a silk camisole hanging from the display. Eyewitnesses say he paused, visibly flustered, before summoning the courage to press on.
A woman browsing a display of cotton briefs allegedly witnessed him mutter, “No one saw that. Just keep walking.”
Mancuso’s friend, Dan Petersen, praised his bravery. “Look, not every guy would have made it. Some guys? They’d turn back, look for a gas station restroom, whatever. But Kyle? He pushed through. I think we could all learn something from that,” Petersen said, voice thick with emotion.
When he finally reached the bathroom door, a visibly relieved Mancuso reportedly whispered, “It’s over. I’m safe now,” before giving a final glance back at the lingerie-filled battlefield he had so courageously traversed.
Despite his triumph, he’s adamant that he will be seeking a group of men who have had similar experiences to talk to, and hopes to find himself in restroom situations in the future that don’t involve “a minefield of lace and padding.”
At press time, Mancuso was seen resolutely marching back through the same area after realizing he’d left his shopping bag in the stall.
