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.
Tabula, whom have you been shopping with?
feel the need to stand up for my lot :). all i'll say is that there's enough equivalent stuff we put up with, *without* complaining. which is why you are the unfairer sex :)
S:
Everyone - male OR female - has a story!

Ummm, only the someone in my head who's not me... :-D
k:
Feel free to compain if you wish! If you do it funnily enough, I promise I'll blog about it!
Ha! Lunatic.
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.
no no you didnt get it, i said we *dont* complain :)
k:
Okay, feel free to be funny in a non-complaining sort of way. Whatever floats your boat!
