ULTIMATE HELL!!!!
Just the word “shopping” alone (unless “Home” and “Depot” don’t follow shortly after) is enough to make a guy instantly become tired, uninterested in anything, and a total pain in the ass. But when you combine the words “shopping” and “sale”, we start to have some serious problems. Amber wakes me up extra early today so we can go to Old Navy because all their jeans are on sale for 12$ each. We get to the store and when we walk inside, I feel the testosterone slowly seep from my body. The line for the register was, I kid you not, one hour long. One hour to buy 5 pairs of jeans. I overhear a woman in line behind me who was talking to another woman about how excited she had been about the sale. The woman behind her said she didn’t even know about the sale and had just arrived to exchange a shirt, she was basically fucked. The woman who had been excited about it told her a story about how she was trying to get there earlier but her husband had insisted on going to the hardware store first.
After we escaped that death trap, it was off to round two. This time, the headache was in the form of searching for bras for her at Ross. I don’t know if any of you have ever tried to look for bras at Ross, but it ain’t no Victoria’s Secret. The two way-longer-then-they-should-have-been racks had no order to them at all. We had to hunt and peck her bra size out of piles of hundreds of these bras. Basically checking every single bra there to see if it was the right size. After about thirty minutes of this, after having found the only 5 bras there that actually fit her, only two of them were ones she was comfortable with. A truly meaningful experience.
To quote Arnold from “The Magic School Bus”: I knew I should have stayed home today.Until next time, good luck with life.

I hate shopping. I would rather wear clothes from four years ago than go shopping, and yeah. I’m a teenage girl, so it can’t just be a guy thing
haha. I usually don’t mind shopping THAT much, but those experiences sound like a nightmare.
for me, it’s BEST BUY or Bookstore for me interests. though i do kill for a sale on chainsaws
That’s pretty much how women justify every single little thing they buy, even if its something as useless as a mist lamp.
…lol.
it’s nice that u went shopping with her though.
instead of faking sick.
or making some other lame excuse.
karma will reward u.
…or something.
I hate going to Ross…Actually, I go shopping at places where I can just pick up a size, know it’s right, and get out of there. Gives me more time to spend looking at the CDs….
I hate shopping with a passion, and I am clearly female. -checks- Yes, clearly female.

@CrazyKey123 - a miracle. lol
Shopping = Hell on Earth
Shopping on Sale Days (ie Tax Free Weekend) = Satan’s Personal Visitation Day
I think you need to have a few good shopping experiences before you actually learn to appreciate it. I used to hate shopping, but now it’s almost like an addiction that I rarely have enough money to support. I hate shopping on sale days though. Takes the fun right out of it all.
Lol. I hate things like that.
but the boyfriend loves shopping. Wtf?!
Xo
shopping is nice, buying is even more. i need to contain the latter but i enjoy that.
I avoid shopping at all costs.
bro, you shoulda just gone to sam’s club, we have $12 jeans everyday. Wal-Mart everyday low prices. Comes complete with teeth from the poor chinese boy we worked to death to make them. Man I love Sam’s Club

i love the magic school bus. =D but i guess you like shopping… arnold always says that but he still goes to each and every trip
I love shopping. There’s nothing more fun than getting new stuff! Shopping with a girl, however, is a totally un-fun experience.
man, i try my hardest to keep my boyfriend at home so i can shop. he pretty much has the same attitude as you when it comes to shopping. so i try to persuade him to stay home so that he doesn’t suffer. but no, he insists on coming and then we both end up miserable.
this is why i look forward to him hanging out with his friends -_-

WHAT IS IT WITH MEN AND SHOPPING? WHY VOLUNTEER AND GO? Consider it royal sucking up to ur lady and expect perks at home?
Man, I only really like shopping at music stores and Best Buy and cool merchandisers like that. The exception is when I go to Hot Topic and buy a shirt or an accessory- or both, if I can pull it off.
You think it’s hard being a guy and having to go shopping for dumb crap? Try being a girl that hates shopping. It’s the same boring hell intensified by expectations, plus it happens more frequently because it is a beloved pasttime of all your friends.
Ugh! My husband and I both hate shopping (though Best Buy makes him salivate) and we had to mission-shop a list of gear for our vacation to the Galapagos Islands next week. One night, we hit a local sports store and Wally World (god, we hate that place…it’s full of shoppers) and this weekend we went to a more civilized town (with real stores) and finished the shopping. It would have been sheer hell other than the fact that we both wanted to get it over with and that we treated ourselves to Arabic food for lunch and sushi for dinner.
I LIKE BEANS.
The Magic School Bus! Reminisces* I love shopping. I don’t like standing in a line for an hour, however. That’s just ridiculous.
I usually go shopping with hubby, but only if I make sure and get him toys as well, after all…he really is still a kid.
Man, I miss the Magic School Bus.
So, how’s this weekend shaping up? Gonna lose more testosterone? I recommend an arts and crafts store. =)
I like shopping. And it’s hardly worth it unless you can get bargains. I do get tired and cranky after too much of it, though.
haha +D
you’re awesome for quoting The Magic School Bus.
personally I like “Best” and “Buy”
