Chrismas Shopping! DOWN WITH SNOBS!

MTN889 · 12-22-2003, 03:26 PM

So heres how it went. My brother took me to the book store to buy our parents gifts. I had 10$ (Which I had to share among my parents) and my brother had 30$ (To share among 6 people. Now, don't get the image that I'm poor, I just have a little less money than the people around me. (In fact since im in USA, NY, I'm probably richer than a lot og you. But the people around me are a LOT richer than me. But I'll get to that latetr). So, we wanted to buy our parents books. The books cost 30$ each, about. So we couldn't afford books for our parents, so we decided to go to the mall.

HELL BEGAN

We tried driving into the mall. By the time we made it in the parking lot, we realized it was a big mistake. Yeah, a humongous one. So, it took us about 1 and 1/2 hours to find a parking spot. Around us were snobby, rich, bichhy people who thought the world revolved around them. (What can you expect, it's New York.) So we got in. Around us we saw wealthy people, poor people, and people all alike. But what we did see in a majority were FAT SNOBBY CHILDREN. They would always whine to their parents about how badly they wanted this, how they forced and screamed at their parents to get that "Oh I want an i-pod MOMMY!"

And so I decided to ask my brother "These people are a lot richer than us, right?'"

He said "Yes, they are really snobby too."

I got a bumper sticker for my parents. That's all. A BUMPER STICKER. I feel so bad and guilty that all i got for my parents was a DAMN BUMPER STICKER. For a BUMPER THAT WAS HIT OFF IN AN ACCIDENT YEARS AGO. And we have 1 car.

I thought to myself, "Welcome to christmas in New York."

Although sometimes I doubt they're a lot richer than me, because at least I have a computer and internet and all...
All i asked for was 2 things this year, a TMNT Action figure and an e-reader pack.

And with this, I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Rant your shopping problems here!

good thing about living in a crappy country: you don't have this kind of problem XD XD XD XD

Crappy nation? You live on a crappy continent.

I spent the usual almost $200 on everyone, and the shopping has been finished for weeks.

I wish I had $200, but i spent my money on a new longboard. Dumb mistake, oh well.

I had my wallet stolen while I was shopping.

Be spoiled like me and ask your parents for more money. Usually solves most problems.

*sigh* You're so lucky... My one friend's been done for months now, too. I, on the other hand, am running out tomorrow and have to go to the mall for that one last present. Wish me luck.

Good luck Jo.... you're gonna need it, trust me. if you're not the driver... then roll down your seat, move it back, and take a nap for about 1 and a half hours... when you wake up, you should have a parking spot. And also be prepared for the whiny orders of snobby selfish FAT children.
Tell the story when you get back

It's not gonna be good. Still, good luck!

It's not like she is going to always have the same luck as you. She might be that one lucky person to get a parking spot as soon as she drives into the lot. And also 1 Hour 30 Minutes? Wow you have a lot of patience I would just left and do shopping some other time or give them the money and tell them to buy their own.

Or shop after christmas and make up a good excuse for it being belated.
