walking and the mall

[wingnut 0]

okay, so who thinks that there should be a "fast walkers" lane at the mall.. i'm tried of getting behind the slow as hell family walking 5 across and holding hands taking up the whole walk way... i just want to run and bust thier chain red rover style and get on with getting to the store i am going to.........but i resist... and just mutter under my breath and remeber why i don't go shoping that much....

A straight forward and firm "excuse me" usually works for me. Then again, I try to limit my mall visits to once *maybe* twice a year.

That annoys me almost (ALMOST) as much as people with rolling backpacks at school.

I'm not much of a mall person. For me it is the people who don't know that on an escalator that is wide enough for two people, if you just want to stand there, stay on the right. Leave people like me some room on the left so I can walk up them instead of waiting behind you. Grrrrr

Men.

Shopping isn't about hunting something down and killing it.

Nor is it a competition.

This is such a man-thread.

Shopping seems to mean the act of visiting stores to search for something to buy. It also means looking for things with the intention of buying them.

I think that forming a convention with 30 of your closest friends in the middle of an aisle is not "shopping."

Nor do I find walking at a snail's pace between stores to be consistent with shopping.

Get something in mind. Look for it. Find it. Buy it. Repreat.

Not, "Go to mall. Call Heather and friends. Hang out in front of main entrance doors until all thrity friends arrive, and move at the pace of a growing fungus as a group. laugh, giggle, yell, and generally gripe with each other. Make 'like' every third word."

That ain't shopping....

Oooh you know what's worse? Working your part time job at the mall and trying to get food on your lunch break while people are in zombie mode looking around and draggin their feet.
I agree with the boys. if you're going shopping
get in,
get what you came for,
and get out.
And if you see someone in a friggin hurry
get the f*ck out of their way.

hehehehehe... not a poke at the women, but it is sometimes true......

I feel the same pain, but it's usually in the airport. Generally in the mall I'm not in quite such a hurry.
