"  Even if you can&amp;#039;t splash out on that $700 J.Crew blouse made with gossamer silkworms and narwhal horns, the second-best thing to do during a solo Sunday shopping ritual is count the number of bored boyfriends and husbands playing with their iPhones on the designated Man Benches. (My highest count thus far? In the 30s. And yes, I spent way too much money that day.) But the Bored Male Bench at Anthropologie \u2014 which, thanks to its dazzling array of houme decor and kitchenware as well as clothes, currently boasts the highest volume of dudes waiting for their significant others \u2014 may soon be a thing of the past. :| New York City bar The Patriot is here to help. An editor over at HuffPo came across a sign outside the dive bar in the East Village advertising a &amp;quot;Husband Daycare&amp;quot; service \u2014 just leave him there (with a drink allowance, naturally) \u2014 and go about your business, be it shopping, waxing, a facial, lunch with girlfriends or lying in bed and staring at cat gifs all day.  You can admit it. This is a no judgment zone, U GUYZ. It&amp;#039;s not the first of its kind, either. Last summer, Ikeas in Australia introduced the hilariously-named M\u00E4nland, something of a playpen for husbands and boyfriends to gather in while their women happily browse through gl\u00F6rgens and fl\u00E4rdfulls.  Kind of genius, no? Follow Anna on Twitter: @annabreslaw Image via HuffPo "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
