Customer Story: The Day My Neighbor Gifted Me This Shirt

Customer Story: The Day My Neighbor Gifted Me This Shirt

So… my neighbor bought me this shirt from your store.
Not just any shirt – this one: “I’m not a pornstar, but my neighbors think otherwise.”

Let me explain before I sound like the world’s biggest cliché.

I live alone in a pretty quiet apartment building. Everyone else is couples with kids, dogs named Bella, and cars that get washed every Sunday. Then there’s me. Single, chaotic hair, way too many Amazon deliveries, and a talent for accidentally making everything look suspicious.

It all started with my home workouts. I do these intense online classes in my living room where the instructor is always yelling things like “Yes, YES, right there, don’t stop!” through my Bluetooth speaker. I never thought about how that might sound through thin walls… until my elderly downstairs neighbor started avoiding eye contact with me in the hallway.

From the outside, it probably looks… dramatic.

One day, my across-the-hall neighbor, Mark, knocks on my door with a package in his hand and this very awkward smirk on his face. He hands me the box and says, “I, uh… saw this online and immediately thought of you. Promise it’s a joke.”

I open it, pull out the shirt, read the text… and absolutely lose it. I was laughing so hard I had to sit down. He’s standing there in the doorway like, “You’re not offended, right?” and I’m like, “Offended? This is the most accurate thing I own.”

A week later, I decided to really lean into it. I put on the shirt, messy hair, no makeup, grabbed a cucumber from the fridge (for salad, calm down), and took a selfie to send to my friends. They screamed. One of them said, “Your neighbors definitely think you’re filming a documentary called ‘Life Choices.’”

The real highlight was the first time I wore the shirt in the building. I stepped into the elevator with two neighbors who ALWAYS go quiet around me. Both of them looked at the shirt… then at each other… and just started laughing. One finally said, “At least you’re self-aware.”

Now it’s become a running joke on my floor. If I get a big delivery, someone will yell down the hallway, “New episode dropping?” If they hear my workout instructor shouting dramatic motivation again, they just yell back, “We’re rooting for you!”

This shirt has somehow turned all that weird, awkward misunderstanding into pure comedy. Instead of feeling judged or embarrassed, I feel like the unofficial entertainment of the building. And honestly? I kind of love it.

So no, I’m not a pornstar.
I’m just a clumsy, loud, overly enthusiastic woman doing workout videos and moving furniture at strange hours.

But if my neighbors insist on giving me a reputation… at least the t-shirt matches. 😏

Thanks for helping me embrace the joke instead of hiding from it.
