My Shopping Behavior

Hey readerss...!!! Today I went to a stationery store in Matraman, let's say G (name isn't mentioned :p). I just planned to buy a ruler and a clear holder, but in fact....

1. I walked through the wide main room towards the stationery area. But then, something caught my eyes. "what's that so catchy?" oh...it turns out a new stand which sold unique and high quality stuffs. Interested and curious, I finally approached one of the stuff they sold. A shopkeeper started explaining every details about this and that, offered me other items and even followed me everywhere!!! Did he have a crush on me or what? *pedemode:on*. I asked dozens of questions like "how long will it last?" or "do you have this folder in green?" He answered vigorously as I picked more and more items. When I finally decided which one is the best, I checked for the price. Suddenly, there was a lightning strike, a thunder, an electric shock on my chest. expensiiiivveee..!!!!! I quickly put everything back to its place and ran away. "sorry Mr. shopkeeper for wasting your time...!!!

2. I got back on track --> to the stationery area. Sprightly I walked to where the "rulers" are located. "I want to buy a flexible ruler which can't be broken", I thought. I picked one but when I observed it, there was a scratch on it.
"Aahhh must find another one..!!" I said. 15 minutes had passed and then finally.... "ffuuhhh, this one is flawless :) (relieved)". But when I about to leave that spot, I glanced back. "waiitt... what's that? a longer ruler?" I came back and dwelt with rulers again. The new one was twice longer than the last one but not flexible and wasn't green (I'm a green-mania, fyi). I started to think... "which one do I need the most? the flexible or the longer one? I think I need a long ruler. But it's not green!!!" I was confused. While I was counting the advantages and the lacks of each, my eyes uncontrollably glanced to other bunch of rulers. And I thought "That one is cute". My options became much more. And I got even more confused. @.@ "shoott... If only I could buy all of them T__T". Finally... after AN HOUR... I went to the cashier without looking back or else I would be hesitant again....


That's my shopping behavior.... In summary... first, it's very common for me not to buy things I've selected before (usually because of price issue xp ). second, it's also very common for me to take a long time on deciding the best item I should buy.

But I think most of women do the same. Well, my parents (esp Mom) told me to be scrupulous when I want to buy something. Because in this country, consumers are often tricked. So be careful... ^^
