I don’t hate going shopping like some men. I can’t say a am a huge fan of shopping with my wife since she, like other women, likes to look things over and spend quality time in the decision process. I am a man who goes straight to the first pile finds something in my size and is in line to check out before the car engine cools. This weekend thou I realized there are things that we buy that I never really feel good about after the purchase. It isn’t that I don’t like the product, it is that I always feel that somehow I was taken advantage of in the purchase process. Buying a car is an obvious one, but because I expect it I go in with an attitude and I make sure that the salesman has lost a pound of flesh dealing with me. No the two I am thinking of are more subtle, they are tires and eye glasses. With tires, they always give me the line about safety and how some other guys car got ruined because he only bought one tire or just the two. Especially if it is my wife’s car they talk me into something I will feel stupid about for as long as the tires last, or till the next time we get a nail in one of them. With eyeglasses whatever my insurance does cover, I am not sure it would put glasses on a pig. Then the lady has me try on different frames which range in price from Gold bullion to rare earth metals. Then I have to get the upgraded glass because the rare metal won’t hold the coke bottle glass, and of course, I want the scratch resistant coating. Are they making these things up on the space station because it will take two weeks for these custom beauties to be ready and half of my checkbook to pay for the uncovered parts. Just once I would like to see what a pair looks like that my insurance does cover? it is probably just a monical, like the monopoly dude wears.
