I went boxing day shopping with one of my friends a few years ago. I hate commercialism so going to the mall on boxing day is more of a "train-wreck syndrome" thing for me. It is such an ugly display I just cant help but look at it.
So his girlfriend drags us into the bodyshop and this cute young salesgirl walks over to me and asks if she can help me find what I am looking for. Without thinking, and being nervous because she was cute, but like, not "out-of-my-league" sort of cute, I blurted out "No thanks, I'm not a consumer." If that wasnt embarrasing enough, as her face showed signs of confusion, and my chances of getting to know her were approaching zero, my friend leans over and clarifies for her "Yeah, he's a hunter/gatherer."
She was short and cute, a deadly combination. I love short women.
And that is the story of the last time I went boxing day shopping.
