Shopping with the wife
You know, they don't have these chairs outside the men's dressing rooms. Have you ever thought why not? It's because while the men are inside trying on clothes, the women are searching for more clothes to hand them to try on.
I am thankful for the chairs outside the dressing room. Perhaps a large screen tv and a fully stocked fridge would be nice as well.
It makes it easier when you wait for 45 minutes and then hear, "I don't think I'm going to get anything".
That's like going deer hunting and have several large bucks walk by, spend all that time in the tree and then say, "I don't think I'll take a deer this year".
I personally think they should have the comfy chairs and fridge INSIDE the dressing room. It's exhausting trying on all those things, and mentally trying to sort through what you already have, and worry about those that are sitting out there waiting for you. It would enhance my whole shopping experience.
Ha! Just looking at that photo, before reading your post, I thought the same thing!
Men get in and get out with exactly what they went to the store for. Us women, on the other hand, can take hours. I've heard it's some sort of "Hunter/Gatherer" instinct in women.
But my boyfriend is still not buying that as an excuse! Dang!
With men's clothes ... A Small is a Small, A Medium is a Medium, and so on and so forth.
A size 38 x 30 pant is a 38 x 30 pant. With WOMEN'S clothing .. A size 6 in one brand is NOT a size 6 in another. And they'd NEVER give us sizes in which was our waist size because it would make women feel bad about themselves!!!
Love your photo btw. And you're right on. Women are out searching for new clothes for their husbands! Took my husband and me about an hour to find him 3 pair of pants and 6 shirts. Me on the other hand. It took THREE HOURS to find one pant that fit, one shirt that fit and one jacket to cover up the shirt! I was nice though. I let my husband stay home when I went in for my outfit. :P~~~
Everyone is passionate about something. Who I am and who I am becoming as a man, a husband, a father, grandfather, retired pastor, leader and Christ-follower all work together to shape my passions.
If I think I've got some wisdom or insight to share, I'll share it. If I have a question to ask, I'll ask it. If something in the news strikes me I may comment on it. I won't shy away from controversy, but neither will I tolerate what we call in the south "ugly" behavior in readers' comments.
If you enjoy it, great! Glad to have you along. If you don't, that's OK, too. Thanks for stopping by.

ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A fridge would be nice! What I hate is the stores that don't have the chairs!
Nice purse! Does it match your shoes?
C'mon Burnie. Are you color blind or just totally fashion challenged?
I'm wearing blue in the picture. My belt and shoes would be black.
I'm guarding the purse. It's where all the money is.
ha - that was MY thought, "nice purse."

I personally agree with Bonnie; shopping is simply exhausting!
Ya know what the problem with women's shopping?

I'm sure your not one of those. I bet you are walking around the discount Men's rack looking for a good deal. Right??????
@jamarson1,
Right. Last week I picked up two nice shirts at 75% off.
