This is one of the reasons I go shopping alone. Or with a male friend.

Had a particularly nasty experience a few years ago. Went with a good friend from high school to Ocean Terminal in HK (Tabula; check it out sometime if you haven't done so - around TST, with some quite nice restaurants around there). She wanted to pick up "a couple of clothes, nothing too time consuming" (her own words), I needed a lens filter. I got it in about 10 minutes. She then went through about 15 stores, left the mall with about 2-3 bags about 4 hours later... and then dragged me along to Causeway Bay, as she hadn't found exactly what she had been looking for.

Aargh.

If I *must* go shopping with the wife, it is always with the understanding that she will later accompany me to a used-DVD/CD shop, a bookstore and a musical instruments shop. We both feel each others' pain and that's a darn good arrangement!

That's one way of settling it, I guess.

Another is to shop alone. Or online. This whole business of soliciting opinions is laden with pitfalls unless it's for a joint-use product, or unless the solicitor is indifferent - not ambivalent - to begin with.

Okay, feel free to be funny in a non-complaining sort of way. Whatever floats your boat!
