Do you prefer shopping with friends or alone? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Number 9 Dream · 11-30-2005, 06:54 PM

I'm one of those types that hates to shop with other people....I just find it more annoying than anything because I like to take my time and browse all the stores I want without feeling like I have to rush. Plus, it always seems like my friends want to pull me in all sorts of stores. The only exception is shopping with my Mom...I love shopping with her because she likes to take her time and look around too

So, do you guys prefer shopping with friends/family or alone? Or do you just not like to shop at all?

Nighthawk76 · 11-30-2005, 07:03 PM

I don't have any friends.

Tuesday Weld · 11-30-2005, 07:04 PM

Either, it doesn't really matter.

I like shopping alone, but that's when I spend the most money. So it's probably a good thing that I usually go with my friends so I don't splurge all my money.

Depends on how quickly I want to shop, sometimes I just wanna be in and out. Otherwise, I like the company.

I hate being alone when I go places, but when I'm shopping, if I'm in a store I know the other person doesn't want to be in, then I feel like I'm constantly under scrutiny and that the person is probably getting impatient waiting for me to get out.

I have a friend though who is my LEAST favorite person to shop with. She always wants to breeze through whatever store I'm in, then she spends like a damn HOUR in one store, and then when I still need to go somewhere she's like "But I have to be home in 20 minutes!" or "I'm tired!"

So then, I politely tell her that I spent two effing hours looking at her crap and that she has no choice but to let me do what I came there to do in the first place.

Alone most of the time, but, sometimes I like the company.

swedeace · 11-30-2005, 10:59 PM

*huffs* Well, I mostly have work friends because I see them on a regular basis. As I mentioned in another thread, I don't really have any "real-life hangout" friends let alone shop with them.

MaydayMalonesGirl · 11-30-2005, 11:19 PM

I hate hate hate shopping with my mom. If I as much as glance at something that isn't on sale she starts lecturing me about our lowly financial state. I like shopping with my dad. I tend to get anxious when I'm looking for clothes, and he's the only person who can tolerate that.

MsOrange · 11-30-2005, 11:27 PM

as long as i'm shopping, it'll all good.

I personally like shopping alone. I dunno why. As a general rule I like to run off in other areas of the store and do my own thing.

!!

Plus I have no friends either.

Most of the time I'd probably rather go alone because then I won't have someone asking me why I'm buying that or looking at this.
