    Every store I go to now doesn’t have a chair. They all had chairs near the changing room, now not a single store has one.

        That’s messed up. Here I am just complaining. I didn’t even think about folks who legit need to sit. I’m so sorry, friend. That sucks.

        Yep, I currently gotta get around with a cane.

        Can’t stand up for more than about 15 minutes straight.

        Went to the DMV the other day… strategically sat myself next to a pair of 20ish yo brothers, waited untill it was maybe 15 minutes till my ticket would be up, and asked if one of em could pull the chair I was sitting in over to the actual service window thing.

        Thankfully this worked, they were mostly happy to have someone to chat with…, one of them’s phone had died and they kept trying to check it…

        But uh yeah, yeah… you’d think it would maybe occur to, I don’t know, a presumably ADA compliant government office, that there exist mobility states in between ‘fully mobile’ and ‘in a wheel chair’.

        Oh also yeah just fuck you and die if you wanna take busses anywhere, can’t have homeless people with anything resembling a bed, therefore if you’re crippled, well just suck it up buttercup.

      There used to be a large hobby store near me that had a section in a corner near the entrance with a TV, a couple of couches and eat chairs, a pretty good selection of movies, Legos, and a couple of video game consoles. Great place.

    Oh, I thought it would be a huge store full of purple and other colors, and then half of one rack in the corner filled with grey, with a sign next to it that says “Fuck You.”

    I mean I unironically love posting up in a back alley and having a chat with some random smokers/vapers, and I love camping.

    Now, I love going shopping with a lady as well, but only if they’re honest with themselves and actually give a shit about your fashion sense, as applied to them.

    If they’re genuinely looking for advice, ideas?

    Hell yes, fuck I’d call that a fun date, or at least a part of one.

    If they mostly just want you to be there as an affirmation machine?

    Byeeeeee~!

    Me whenever we went into Forever21.

    There’s either a “guy’s rack” or there is no mens clothes at all

    I hate these jokes. It’s like the boomer, “god wives are the worst amirite guys?!” jokes. It’s really not that hard to enjoy shopping with your lady.

    Edit: I just look for clothes for her with her. Sorry guys.

      I ID with it. Women’s thrifting is 90% of the store. Men’s thrifting is the 4 things that will fit me that someone’s uncle died in.

      It is if shopping is not your cup of tea. It’s exhaustingly boring.

        Seriously, I hate shopping for myself, and that’s a fully engaging activity. Shopping with someone else where I’m just waiting to be prompted for my input, if at all? Fucking pass.

      It’s dreadful. A few years ago the “The wife did [insert silly thing tech-averse or shopping-obsessed person does] so I did [insert I-am-very-smart-action]” jokes were dying out, or so I thought. But hey, they are back en masse, and worse, re-done by a younger generation who fancies themselves emancipated and modern. Yuck. If you find living and/or spending time with your chosen person of the opposite sex so horrible please just don’t?

        I’m sure there’re some lezzies / gays which are not fond of shopping with their partner as well.

    But, I don’t want to hangout with those guys. I want to hang out with the chic.
