*happy sigh* I just love 3 day weekends.
I bought my Harry Potter tickets today! I’m going with Rob on Thursday (well, if you want to get technical — Friday) night at 12:01am. It’s going to be about 3am by the time we get out and I’ll only be able to get 4 hours of sleep before I have to leave for work but, whatever. I’M GOING TO SEE HARRY POTTER!
😀
So I had to do some shopping this weekend (was looking for a birthday present for my boss and a dress to wear to an upcoming wedding) and I came across every single one of my shopping pet peeves…
1. Dressing rooms where all the mirrors are located outside. I don’t want salespeople and other customers getting the first glimpse of me! What if the shirt/skirt/dress is all wrong? Not cool.
2. Strapless bras. I don’t like them but they are a necessary evil in order to wear some tops. No matter what, I have the hardest time getting them to stay up. Stupid contraptions.
3. Inconsistent sizing, especially within the same brand. This boggles the mind.
4. Stores that only accept American Express, their house credit card or cash as payment. This is the stupidest (is that a word?) thing I have ever heard of. What if I want to use my VISA or my Mastercard?! Way to be elitest.
5. Return policies that aren’t really return policies at all. I reserve the right to change my mind.
Huh. I can’t believe it’s 2:30am and I still have shopping on the brain…
glad to see that your domain is back up!
I hate dressing rooms with no mirrors! They are a grand pain in the ass!
And don’t even get me started on strapless bras. I had to wear one for prom and it kept falling down. They offer no support!
Anyways…have a nice day!
haha, well w/ the bra thing, they have some that allows you to manipulate the straps for halters or one shoulder dresses. my grad/prom dress was weird, it slanted down so I couldn’t wear a strapless bra, i had to wear a corset, but those are far more uncomfortable. good luck shopping.
hey… i ran into your site and saw the grpahic for harry and hermione and have to ask, where did you get the picture of hermione? and gorgeous site.
Beautiful new layout at A Drop in the Ocean! I love blue. 🙂
Hee–I agree with all of the above. Dressing rooms with no mirrors has to be the most annoying thing about shopping! Especially when it comes to bathing suits–I refuse to step out of the dressing room in a bathing suit unless I’m sure that I look decent in it. 😉
And the inconsistent sizing! I shouldn’t have to buy three different shirts in three different sizes if it’s from the same store! It’s *so* frustrating!
