SHOP-A-HOLIC

Yeah, the title describes me well enough. I am over –obsessed with shopping. All I need for that divine happiness is a fortnightly dose of shopping. I know by now you must have already started sympathizing with my “poor parents” (hey now don’t look at me accusingly…I have barely contributed to their poverty). Happiness is priceless so a new pair of jeans or a couple of new sweatshirts now and then isn’t a heavy price to pay for it, right???? [Stop nodding your head, I know I always am ; ) ]

There is something which really pisses me off while I am pursuing this passion of mine....the creatures who call themselves salesmen . I just don’t seem to understand whether they have been instructed by bigger creatures to bug customers or their soul derives some sort of pleasure unknown to me by doing so.
This is something similar to what I have faced a number of times...

While I was quietly looking at the stuff displayed, this bug who looked like a rotten potato comes and asks the only sentence he had mugged up…
potato: May I help you?
Me: what will u help me with?????? All the stuff is displayed and I can choose whatever I want myself. And I certainly don’t need your expert advice on how to wear it....i wish I could say that but decided to put the same words in a more polite manner...diplomacy..u can say.. NO, thank u..i will help myself.

Even after this ,the potato decides to linger and stares as if I am a shoplifter and will steal a tee ,stuff it in my socks and run away....After a while he comes up with this wacky tee which has all sorts of weird things from coins n stones to shells n bits of paper strewn on it....n says: this is the latest fashion. Everyone is buying it and this is the last piece ..you must try this..

Me: oooh unfortunately I am not really updated with this fashion of wearing garbage so I would rather look at the conventional old plain -Jane stuff if you would only get lost from here and let me....well again that is what I wanted to say ,but decided to keep my gob zipped up..and gave him this lovely look which clearly said “ if u don’t get lost this instant you will be hanging from the roof upside down with your butts being used as a punching bag”

Fortunately he interpreted it correctly....n decided to bug someone who looked less passionate about punching people’s butts!!!!!
