I'm shopping for someone else...

Da standard "please bear with me --- I'm not familiar with this type or purchase" preamble-remark dat you ruefully tell a store-employee whom you ask for assistance in finding/choosing one or more items dat you never use yourself, and so you have less of an idea of how to shop for it or maybe even where it's stocked in da store.

Two good examples of when you might tell a staffperson, "I'm shopping for someone else..." might be if you were looking for a type of media-entertainment (such as books, music, or movies) dat you have no interest in yourself, or if you merely lived a simple bachelor's existence and were procuring "fussy female stuff" items for a lady-friend, such as cosmetics, dress-up clothing, fancy table-setting accessories, etc.

Pontefract Sex Shop Traffic Jam

Due to the bridge strengthening work required on a Yorkshire stretch of the A1, motorists are often queued for a long period of time outside the Pontefract branch of the chain sex shop, Pulse & Cocktails, making it easier to peruse and judge the shoppers on their purchases as they leave, and discuss what sordid activities they’ll be partaking in with your fellow passengers.

“I got stuck in the Pontefract Sex Shop Traffic Jam, and spotted Jeff from work coming out of the store with a 15-inch double-ended black mamba, three butt-plugs and some cling film. Must be going to Sharon’s house for a Hot Lunch.”

Milk shop

A trap of legends that has a mysterious power to attract dads, similar to the cigarette shop.
(Not to be mistaken for abandonment)
