There is going out to buy something, and then going out to shop.

Totally different activities.

🙂 Very funny! It seems this guy knew what to do. 1st time I’ve seen this one. Should take some time away from failblog.org

Benjamin says:

I hate shopping. I hate holding a girlfriend’s purse while she is in the fitting room. (You got to hold it at arms length so everyone knows it is not your purse, but your girlfriend’s) I hate crowds. I only go shopping when I know what I want to buy and then buy two or three of them so they will last me until the next time I go shopping.

Funny though…

What gives with women shopping?
I need a pair of trousers, go the shop I like, snatch 3 different pairs my size, the one that fits best, I go out pay it and leave.

If it’s my wife, she’ll go to three different malls, look at all the shop windows, brings my attention to at least 4 different rings, or earrings, that she finds “oh so beautiful”, finally decides to enter one shop, takes 5 different pairs of trousers to the fitting room, and 4 tops (even though she’s not shopping for tops). tries them all (entering and exiting the cabinet for each), reduces the choice to two pairs, tries them again, and then decides she’s not taking any. Exits the shop, goes to a different mall, does the same routine, than goes back to the first mall. She finally takes one of the first two pairs she narrowed down the first time. Goes home, tries them again, has some doubts, and three days later goes to the shop and returns them and takes the second pair. The pair is cheaper so she puts some more money and take 2 tops too.

And this is not no Urban Legend… it has happened to me. Several times (minor variations)

So now they’re printing e-mail forwards from 1998 in the newspaper now?

Shopping with my wife is fine but it’s when our teenage kids (1 of each) come to that I get stressed
They don’t want anything too healthy but they also object to what they consider cheap, or I consider good value. FFS, it’s a packet of dried noodles. The 9 pence (UKP 0.09) ones are pretty similar to the 45pence ones you want me to get – fair trade, no GMO, HFCS or any nasty chemicals. And that is before we start shopping for complicated things like clothes, wallpaper, paint or televisions…

I do those if I had the chance 🙂

#6 – Your shopping approach seemed good, but now I don’t know what to do with two extra garbage disposals…

Uncle Patso says:

I no longer object to holding my wife’s purse in stores, ever since I saw a comic on TV talk about how glad he was to have tampons in his shopping cart the day the persistent gay guy in line behind him kept trying to pick him up.
