not all women of course, but quite a few of ya'll! women try on 15 pairs of shoes and leave all of them in a mixed-up pile. women take clothes off the rack and throw them on the floor or over the rack when they're done with them, instead of hanging the garment back on the hanger and then back onto the rack. men don't act like this, so why is it that women do?

omg BIGGEST PET PEEVE EVER!!
i worked in retail and you're right, messiest shoppers AROUND!!
i always make sure to either help with putting stuff away if they rush 2 come clean it up or do it m'self

cleanup after close is a bitch!

There are few things worse being in retail than working the fitting room, and having some dumbass bitch leave a pile of swimsuits all tangled together.

Oooh also when parents would let their little monsters run around yanking clothes off of hangers!

Women shop like pigs to help them empathize with us better.


just kidding...

...like pigs ...

Why do men snore like pigs?

You can only understand how annoying that is once youve worked in retail. Its just so disrespectful! My mother is a really nice person, but when shes in a shop she just leaves everything everywhere! Im always like, "someones gotta clean that up you know!" She just doesnt get it.

I can understand the frustration, but it doesn't help when the racks are jam packed and things fall off the hangers when you touch them.
I put them back on the hangers, but I understand why people don't do it.
It's really thoughtless to make a mess of things on shelves. It's easier to find what you want if everything is in order.

TELL me about it...as a person serving customerz AND as a customer myself!!

The other day, because i'm working at a department store we have a huge ass stocktake sale! Every hour a big sale was announced in a certain department! I was in the ladies room when i heard '40% off all watches' so i thought 'mad!' and went down for a squiz! Did you know, that even when i was at the front of the counter- i was just looking for one particular watch which they didn't have anyway...but the women- i got knocked several timez by a sign on the head because they kept pushing, and most of them managed to push me aside OH. For crying out fucking loud man!! I just wanted to have a look-see sheesh!!

I alwayz try and not leave a mess- knowing how it feelz working in the retail environment. Some people have no empathy at all...it'z just 'me me me...mine mine mine..now now now' it'z just rudeness taken to another level. Shitz me up the wall!!

I have to say I think it's more of a "messy person who doesn't give a fuck" thing than a woman thing BUT since women are bigger clothes-hounds than men maybe we're a bit more guilty

I never do that shit. But I also can't stand to shop in places that are chaotic in general - I avoid in-store sales (dumb for the wallet, smart for my sanity), can't do Ross or Nordstrom Rack or anything too "outlety", the shit works my nerves.

I ALWAYS put everything back exactly where I found it.






And I'm with Calhoun with the sale and outlet thing. I'd rather pay full price for something in a nicely presented shop, than have to dig through piles of cheap crap just because it's on sale. I know I won't wear it then anyway, and then I'll have a closet full of stuff I just end up giving away because I bought it because it was marked down, and not because I really needed it or even liked it.

Why do men live like pigs in all other areas?

Hey! My preemptive dig at my species (see above post) was to preclude any other attacks on us!

i got a story for BOTH instances!
for the people who let their lil monsters run wild in a store throwing things everywhere -- one night after a regular day (not busy @ all, a few busy streaks but thats it) we're front facing everything cleaning things up, and i find a shirt, unpurchased *of course*, with SNOT ALL OVER THE SLEEVE!!! if i had caught the lil rascal who had done that i'd pull a homer on that pencil neck of his!!!

and for working fitting rooms... omg...
one night, AGAIN after close, we're cleaning out and unlocking all the change rooms, what do we find? a used maxi pad...cant blame that on no man (i hope... ) sickening sickening people!!!!



thank god i work in an office now...but then again, that's a whole other thread of rantingness...

Better for them to shop like pigs than eat like pigs. You should see down at the Eaton Centre. 90% of the people shopping are women. One of the most pathetic things i have ever seen was on CNN. There was a sale on wedding dresses. Women were lined up around the block first thing in the morning. When they opend the doors there was a stampede. Very sad.

haha, ass! I love this emoticon.

I don't shop like that I like going to get what I'm looking for, then hurry up and get the hell out of there.

oh honey, I got you beat. I used to work in a fabric store and once we found a quarter flat (a pre-cut quarter of a yard of calico fabric used for quilting) that some dumbass mom had put on her baby as a DIAPER. the thing was filled with poop. plus the "diaper" was shoved in between bolts of - what else - expensive as shit wedding material!

susannah said:

My boyfriend does that too. It pisses the hell out of me. His excuse is that the employees are paid to clean up after him!

i had FOUR different middle aged women (who should know better) break items yesterday and then just walk off (one even tried to run with a teenage boy). each time, i brought my high school associate over to within 2 feet of where they were, and addressed him like this: "you know James, I am so glad that your parents raised you to be a responsible young man who at the very least would notify somebody that you broke something that you did not own and that you were sorry--it's a shame more supposedly grown up people don't act like that." (this is our running joke evrytime somebody does something like this). then i usually add on "and i WISH the person who broke it would part their lips to me because that is TRIFLING!"..and they never do.

I didnt know pigs shopped..

Those things are fucking expensive, if there was a good discount on them that just makes sense
