Woman shuts down a guy's attempt at 'sexy' role play in the best way possible

A wild ride from start to finish.

New sexting tip: when in doubt, pretend to be in an Ikea.

That's the genius strategy Redditor TheOwlAndTheFinch used recently when a guy she was texting with kept insisted she take part in some sexy role play.

She wasn't into his idea, but instead of shutting it down completely she decided after a few weeks to have some fun with it.

Ahhhhh, nothing ruins the mood like ending up at IKEA. She earns a 10/10 for very creative role play with an excellent narrative.

Apparently, this guy has tried to get other ladies to partake, and they've had similar methods of dealing with his persistence.

While this is all really funny, it's also an important reminder to not be a creep -- or you might also find yourself wandering aimlessly in a very brightly lit big box furniture store.
