When I shop, I usually know exactly what I plan to buy ahead of time. When she shops, whether it's in a brick and mortar store or on the Internet, the shopping process is as much a tiresome fact-finding tour as anything else. When I hit that "buy now" button for myself, I feel a sense of exhilaration and expectation. When I shop with her, after checking every possible make and model, nine times out of ten she decides to wait until later before committing herself to buying and I feel drained afterward. As a sport, I think shopping's generally a female thing. It must be something in their genes. There's something about having two X chromosomes that makes them see shopping as enjoyable, in a similar manner to how it screws with their ability to enjoy the humor of The Three Stooges.

I don't like shopping OR the 3 stooges. (except for specialty foods... that I love shopping for!)

re: shopping (too many posts to quote) The only reason that post showed up here is because it's HIGHLY unusual for me to not only WANT to shop, but to WANT to shop and then be able to find stuff that FITS without me getting frustrated enough to burst into tears and say "forget it, I'm going home now!"
I can't even tell you how many shopping trips have ended that way (the frustrated and bursting into tears part).
So yesterday was one of those days that got posted about simply because it NEVER happens, LOL! Most of the time I hate shopping, too.
