The Trait Swapper struck while Ian was accompanying his girlfriend Kari in a department store. Kari wasn't looking for any panties, but they happened to pass the lingerie department when they encountered the Trait Swapper. Reality changed for Ian and Kari but not anyone who was nearby. The older woman was flabbergasted.

For a moment, Ian was confused and then he ran and grabbed, out of a middle-aged woman's hands, a pair of cyan nylon panties she happened to be looking at. Ian stopped a few yards away to look at what he had taken.

Kari: Hey, hey, come here, Ian.

Kari held out her hands. She expected that Ian would give his prize to her. Ian wanted to back away, but her commanding tone dissuaded him. A moment later, Kari was standing within arm's length of Ian.

Ian: But I want these! I like these pretty panties!

Kari: I understand, but it's not okay to take things from others without asking. Let's step away for a moment.

The woman didn't know what to think. A grown man ran up to her out of nowhere and pulled the panties right of her hand.
