Why do you have to go? My wife hates me going shopping with her, and i hate all shops apart from the LBS. You need to get her trained.
Just noticed i have completed my mileage for the year.

In the week leading to Christmas my family come and tell me if they have seen something in the shops that might be a bargain e.g. "I saw a nice free-range turkey crown for £40 in Tesco, you could probably get it for £15" - I have yet to fail...there's always a first time tho I suppose

I usually throw a tantrum because I want to buy the branded product but it's too expensive or I want to get something but we don't need it apparently. This annoys her but I still have to go!Why do you have to go? My wife hates me going shopping with her, and i hate all shops apart from the LBS. You need to get her trained.
Congrats!Just noticed i have completed my mileage for the year.

Yeah, I might even get my haircut while I'm at it.
Ha, ha, sound! Just got my hair done!! I hate getting my hair cut!! All done now though...time to breathe...
I've been married for 17 years, and following a series of arguments we reached an accord fairly early on whereby presents are her department (other than her own, most of the time!!) and catering is my department. We definitely don't go shopping with each other for their respective part.
The unspoken rule is that she won't criticise what I put on the table and I won’t criticise her present choices, otherwise this fragile detente will descend into all-out war again!

I didn't bother in the end, there was at least ten people in the queue already.

That,s one thing i will not do, queue, if there is a queue i will walk away, one of the reasons my wife does not take me shopping, i have been known to walk out of pubs if there is a queue.

Remember the days before the internet?
When you wanted a concert ticket, or one for a big football match, and you used to stand in a long queue?

Ah, see it's not queing which does me in...queueing I can do...people watching in queues is great and there's usually something to read in a barbers...it's more the forced social interaction thing I don't like, coupled with the fact you have to stare at yourself, them and the rest of the shop while you're in the seat. I find the whole experience completely soul destroying...and then you have to walk home, or spend the afternoon in the office, with sh1t hair, because they never style it right.
