Shopping Tips

1. You mention to your neighbor, with the body odor, that you are heading out to the mall in the morning. Neighbor asks to go with. What do you say?

I'd probably tell her I'm only going in for one thing and then heading to the gynecologist followed by the dentist after the mall. Or, I'd call it off in the morning, with a horrible cold.

2. You go up and down every aisle in the parking lot until you finally scope out that perfect place. You patiently pull over to the side and put your signal on to wait for the person pulls out. Someone snags your spot before you can pull in. What do you do?

I wouldn't bother doing this. I find a spot and park wherever--a "perfect spot" does not exist at Christmas OR in the winter around here. I wouldn't be likely to be shopping when the lots were this full, by the way, anyhow.

3. You find that perfect sweater for grandpa and it's the last one in that size. Some lady with three screaming kids approaches you and asks for the sweater for her husband who is deployed in Iraq. What do you do?

I never buy clothes in a mall for people anymore, unless they are present. I will occasionally look online for clothes, but the whole drama thing doesn't apply.

4. You found the perfect gift for your best friend and you notice that there are no less than 100 people in line in front of you. Unfortunately, you just drank 3 cups of coffee before you entered the store. What do you do?

Write down the the brand name and other pertinent info, stop at the bathroom and head home to buy it online.

5. You're within 10 people of the checkout after waiting in line for 40 minutes and the person in front of you lets three people in line- he was just saving the spot. What do you do?

Meh. If I've waited that long, what's another 10 minutes? My husband would get all righteous with him, which is why I don't shop with him very often.

6. You get to the check out and your card is declined. What do you do?

Use another card and then go home and scream bloody murder at the credit card company. My cards should NOT be declined.

7. Oops...you forgot to buy something for Aunt Edna. Do you regift the fruit cake George from next door gave you?

ABSOLUTELY!! Fruitcake is horrible, and Aunt Edna loves it.

8. Are you planning on doing most of your shopping in the stores or online this year?

I do almost all in small stores or online, or in the early hours that a store is open. Hate crowds, hate them hate them hate them. Not much of a fan of shopping, either.
