I hate shopping. If I have to go, I go early in the morning before many people are there, so I can just get in and get out, and make the unpleasant outing as short as possible. A few friends from distant places were meeting in my area and we were all going to get together. They wanted to go to an outlet mall to spend our time together. Horrors! I wanted to spend time with them but not shopping, but I went. I remember they wanted to go in all the shops and do stuff in them, like try on random clothes and spray themselves with different perfumes in the perfume store. Every store they had something they wanted to do in there, and they really didn't buy much. After a couple of hours of this, I had to excuse myself and I sat on a bench in the sun and dosed until they were done. I just don't understand what you are supposed to do when you go shopping as an entertainment activity. It is like a sport I never learned to play.
