I hate malls.

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.

But what about George Wendt eating baked beans?

Do you like movies?

Would you like to see George Wendt in a movie eating baked beans?

Would you watch a movie about baked beans eating George Wendt?

You forgot Spanish.

Don't speak Spanish and no is the same as the English no. French no gives off an air of "I'm better than you." Japanese no just sounds like you're extremely pissed. Heck in Japanese there's a billion ways to say the word no but it depends on the situation. Next language is Cantonese Chinese for me.

I know that.

But it's fun. "No. Do you want to hear it in Spanish? No. Want to hear it in French? Non."

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

German is Nein (pronounced like the numeral 9 in English)

Turkish is Hayir, Yok, and a few others depending on the situation.

Polish is Nie (Nye - eh)

The only one I knew off hand was German, the rest are from google

Back on topic: I agree with Arenaboy malls are the worst places on earth, but then I tend to be anti-social.

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..

Well, to be honest, I know the German. I just never got around to using it.

Thanks for the others.

I got $20 for taking a survey one time on home electronics. So if they ask me, I'll always ask first what do I get.

Don't speak Spanish and no is the same as the English no.

not quite. the "o" in english "no" is a lax diphthong that begins centralized and glides to a close near mid back vowel. the spanish "o" is a tense close mid back monophthong. while they look similar, they are entirely different pronunciations. the spanish is actually pronounced much like "non" in french, but without the nasalisation.

eta: i'm right there with you on the mall hate. i can't stand the places, and avoid them like the plague whenever possible.

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.

Agreed. I don't do malls much anymore, just because I can get most of what I need online, usually for less money and without the hassle. But I frequent malls when I need unique gift ideas or when I have papers to write for psychology classes. People watching. Used to do that at the airport, too, until they increased security.

My BF and I used to go mall-walk all the time. We got good exercise by making like the old people and just walking around the mall. These days the nearest mall that's decent for walking is about an hour away.

I'm just glad that the holidays are over. Hopefully in another week we'll be able to go to a mall and not get run over.

My wife and I live about 2 hours from Gatlinburg, TN, so we go there for daytrips when we have the rare weekend off together. There's always a butt load of people trying to sell timeshares or vacation packages. It's nothing to walk down the main drag, and be hassled by 20 different vendors. It's annoying, but I say no and keep walking.
