I hate malls.

[ArenaBoy]

As the title says, I hate malls. Why? I am under the belief that it's a haven for idiots. I know a lot of people on here shop at malls and I know I have to shop at a mall for something, as much as I despise the idea. But for some strange reason my roommates convinced me to go with them.

Anyway, the mall my roommates and I went to is a bit strange. This is a mall where 867 citizens would congregate and I'm not kidding. Anyway, roommates and I split up. I walk off in my own and during my walk, while I'm thinking about what to get my dad for Christmas; some guy who looks to be 17 or 18 sees me and says "I love you." I keep walking on just shaking my head at the absurdity that's going on. He keeps following me for a few more meters and he backs off as soon as I say "Get the hell away from me." He leaves me alone. Weird.

Then, after I went through a few shops I walk by one of those annoying stands.

"Excuse me, are you interested in some of these items?"

"No." I say curtly.

"Are you sure? Because you look lik--"

'Did you not just hear me? No. Want me to put it in French. Non. How bout Japanese? Iie. Now piss off." I know it was somewhat rude but I don't take crap from people who can't take no for an answer.

Later on, I go to a Coney Island for a shake. Some idiot is complaining about the bill. Dude, read the menu.

As I was walking through the mall, I nearly knocked over a few people because they had to stop in the middle of pedestrian traffic. Yes idiot "lady" I'm looking at you. You don't have any right to glare at me when you stopped RIGHT in the MIDDLE of the AISLE!!! And your b/f doesn't even scare me. Come on. I'm a good 3 inches taller and a good 80 pounds heavier than he is. Do the math.

Was glad to get out of that mall, I despise them and my family and a few of my friends don't understand as to why I hate going to places like malls and movie theaters.

On the plus side for me, I met a cute gamer girl working at a game store so who knows. And I got my dad some computer stuff that he needed.

You are like me, I hate going to the mall also. I will only go, if I truly have too. My problem is that there is to many damn entitlement whores, who will stop in the way.

I get you on the whole stopping in the middle of the aisle thing. I never did understand that. I'm beginning to think people walk through the store aisles like they drive on the roads. Scary!

YAY! 50th post.

My wife does that, drive me crazy!

GAH, I hate those stupid booths. One time I was in The Woodlands Mall with some friends and we walked by a makeup one. The lady asked me if I wanted to try it out. I told her no.

We figured out we were on the wrong side of the mall, so we turned around. Passed the same booth. Got bothered again. Said no again.

Got what we needed, discovered that something else we needed was on the other side of the mall (can you tell we don't journey to The Woodlands much?). Walked by that booth again. Got bothered a third time. Said no a third time, this time a bit more firmly.

Leaving the mall, we passed it a fourth time. Rinse, repeat. This time I wasn't so nice.

"THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME YOU'VE ASK ME THAT!!! NO, I DON'T WANT YOUR MAKEUP!!! GOOD GRIEF, AT LEAST PAY ATTENTION TO THE FACES OF THE PEOPLE YOU BOTHER!"

*sigh* That was a bad day for me.

I absofreakenlutely hate numbnuts who will walk in front of you and then stop. Or will create a LA Freeway style gridlock effect with their carts/mumu covered girth/or heard, therefore hindering any and all potential passing by. I have been known to push my way thru these fools muttering under my breath. I have also been known to simply say "Move Stupid" or "Outamaway".

Yup I don't do malls or stores if I can help it. The wife knows this and lets me stay at home. Our deal is that I stay at home with the kids while she goes out and deals with the unwashed masses. I love my wife (sometimes I wonder how she puts up with me).

Heh, I'm friends with a girl who loves the mall. Intelligent but she just can't grasp the fact that I detest malls. Standard conversation runs

"Arena, I'm bored and sick of studying. Want to go to the mall?"

"No thanks."

"Why not?"

"H, we've been through this. I hate malls, I hate crowds, I hate idiots, and I hate crowds."


Good friend but just not so understanding on that part.

Although I have been tempted to go into malls and do this.

I love my wife (sometimes I wonder how she puts up with me).

That's love for ya.

[Giggle Goose]

I literally have to meditate in my car before I will enter a mall. I live near two of the biggest ones in the region. Yay!

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Uhhh, I hates the booth people. Particularly the ones hawking cellular phones. Those are the only ones I've noticed who'll try to get my attention.

I also don't care much for the survey takers. No, I don't really like baked beans. George Wendt is a funny guy though.

[Becks]

No. Want me to put it in French. Non.

You forgot Spanish.

That's actually what I do when I have to keep saying "No"...start in English and throw in the Spanish and French.

I hope to someday add Danish, German, Bulgarian, Turkish, Polish and other misc. languages.

i had to head into a mall today, i always seem to leave fuming...

people wondering around like mindless zombies looking for brains, unfortunatly being the only one with half a brain there, they ALL get in my way, bumping and running into me with carts, i must have a tasty brain.

Last year, i had no less than 5 people drive over my foot while i was standing in line, people absolutly have to try go THROUGH the line, instead of around it, worst part is that i had a ingrown toenail then, and were waiting for surgery, iæve never cussed so much, in public before.

For most of the year, January-November, I love going to the local mall. It isn't too crowded, there's no booths, etc. But shopping anywhere in December sucks. All the weirdos come out to buy presents and holiday food. It's insane! I never have problems with people walking real slow, or stopping randomly, or blocking isles, until December. Holidays make people crazy.

[Pagan]

And if it's not the numbnuts that stop abruptly in front of you, it's the jackasses walking too close behind you! Had one that kept stepping on my heel yesterday.

What's scary is that they're driving the same way! I live less than a mile from Wally World and almost got hit twice driving back to my place simply because people weren't looking.

I think they should have lanes and stoplights in the mall.

I love my wife (sometimes I wonder how she puts up with me).

Maybe because you stay home with the kids and let her go shopping by herself...

Yep, they do. Getting home from work was interesting last night. Traffic all over the place, since I go past multiple shopping centers. Nothing sucks more than getting caught in a line of traffic, simply because some people can't handle the concept of a freaking stop sign. I'll be so glad when it's all over, and all those fools go back to their own neighborhoods....meaning I'll shave a good 20 minutes off my commute
