Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

So tell me what you hate about shopping! I am constructing a small class for women about how to overcome the hatred of shopping, but need to know what women really hate about it. Vent away, then come for my class to get your solutions!

I think this would be the perfect opportunity for my friends and family to answer "What they hate about shopping with Nicki". :)

I hate that I can't find a compatible shopping buddy. I think it's because I'm so thorough when I shop. I compare every price. I compare most labels to see what I'm ingesting, and I will hunt for the best bargain when shopping for clothes.

My biggest complaint about shopping, is that there isn't any good shopping close enough to me that I can do it as much as I'd like. It would be great to have some specialty stores in the Camby area so I don't have to drive 20-60 minutes to find something unique.

Hope that helps!

I will shop with you Nicki, I am the same way! I wear everyone out so I go it alone most of the time!

I absolutely hate being asked a million times if I need assistance. :-) It's like car shopping and I need a few minutes to look around without a shadow. :-)

With that said I absolutely love to shop and I will always stop first where I see "ON SALE". :-)

I live in Miami County so we have absolutely no place to shop here thus a 40 minute drive at least is needed to find anything decent.

I hate the feeling I get after shopping. I suffer from shoppers' remorse after almost every shopping trip even if it is just the gas station...

My guess would be: having a credit card limit:)

I do not enjoy shopping for clothes for myself. I would much rather shop for others which most of the time I do. Others, mostly being my kids;) I do not mind shopping for other stuff like furniture, books or groceries.

Why do I despite clothing shopping? Because I am indecisive and this leads to more time looking at and trying on clothes. I also ponder: do I need this item, is it too expensive, how will it fit or do I have accessories to go with it.

It is just not as fun as it used to be. Thanks for allowing to contribute:)

Thanks for your responses! Nicki and Hazel, I am right there with you. I am a nightmare to shop with for myself. Every detail has to be just so, or I won't buy an item. Picky, picky, picky! But, I have a closet containing only clothes that I wear and love. Worth the fussiness. I prefer to go alone so I can dilly dally without driving anyone crazy.

The one thing that I hate about shopping are excessively large crowds so I typically try to go on Sundays or a week day to avoid the masses. I don't have much patience for other people. Usually when I shop I go in and get what I need/want and get the heck out as quickly as I can. I also agree with Ashley and don't particularly care for the 'shadow' some employees can place on you as you look around the store.
